Murray for breach of his contract to do the brick work of the College, and to make such arrangements in regard hereto as may seem best to him. The Committee to whom was referred the report of the Treasurer made the following report. To the Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The Committee appointed by the Board to audit the accounts of the Treasurer have the honor to report that they have performed the duty assigned to them. We have not had the means of verifying the statement of the sums received by the Treasurer from the State Audit or the statement of the expendi- tures we find to be correct in amount excepting on over charge of one dollar upon one of the vouchers and to be sustained by order drawn on the Treasurer by the Chairman and secretary of the Executive Committee in favor of the claimants upon the Treasury. Some of the vouchers were found to be deficient in the signature of either the Chairman or secretary of the Executive Committee and some lacked the endorsement of the person in whose favor the order was drawn, but these defects were subsequently corrected. We suggest that for the future all temporary formalities shall be observed as strictly as possible. Lexington, Ky. June 6, 1882 (Signed) D. C. Buell W. H. Wadsworth L. J.
