Findings of Special tommittee
Investigating " The Payr'
Roll Matter:,
The following which is the report
of the special committee appointed by
Council to investigate 'the pay-roll
matter, will be read with interest.
The report was made to Council; iu
regular session thi$ ihorning, and was
ordered filed. The "report follows.'
Your committee, appointed", to inves
tigate matters contained : in r an atf i-j
davit signea Dy Mr. - JA W. Mathejivs,
dated July 29th, 1916,, held a meetlr
in the city clerk and. treasurer's of
fice on the night of August 10 th, and
inquired into the facts Of the case so
far as it lay in our power to do so.
The following witnesses were ex
amined: J. W. Mathews, Arthur
Branch, W. H. Blair.
It was contended by Mr. . Mathews
that he never received the . sum of $9
appearing, on the pay-roll for wees,
ending June 17th, 1916 ; that on the
week following his return to work
he asked Mr. Branch for his money,
and Mr. Branch replied, As he had
not worked that week he was not en
titled to any money." Mr. Mathews
further stated . that he had called at
the city clerk and treasurer's office
and found that his name was on the
pay-roll for that week for the sum of
$9, after which he lodged complaint
above referred to. , .
rie further stated that subsequent
to lodging this complaint Mr. Branch
offered him $9 in 'Settlement of the
matter in the presence of one Mr.
Jacobs. Your committee therefore
sent a conveyance" for Mr. Jacobs,
who declined to appear, alleging
ill-
ness.
Mr. Mathews also stated that he
had been offered $10 in settlement of
the matter during the past several
'days by Mr. B. F. Brittain, Jr., Mr.
y Brittain being present admitted mak-
517-8'ing this offer, but stated he had done
so without knowledge or consent of
Mr. Branch, simply, as an act of
friendship to Mr. Branch in order
that the matter might be disposed of
without notoietyi
Mr. Branch testified that it had
been his custom in paying laborers
employed by the Sewerage Depart
ment to take the money over to the
j city sewerage lot and there deliver
it to each of them in person. In case
j an employe was not there to receive
his monpv he sometimes sent it to
him by another employe.. At other
times he would carry it to the em
ployees house and leave it with his
family. Mr. Branch stated that if
Mr. Mathews was not paid the money
referred tc in person, he, Mr. Branch,
disbursed it in either of the ways
above referred to.
The transaction having occurred
several months ago, it was impossible
for him to make any positive state
ment as to just how the money had
been paid to Mr. Mathews.
Your committee finds upon inves
tigation that it has been the custom
for the sewerage department pay-roll

MI8S REGISTER DEAD.
Funeral Will Be Held From Residence
, , This Afternoon.
I Miss', Magnolia Register, aged 40
years, daughter of Mr. Rufus Registtr,
qf No. 2l'l Market street, died at her
home yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock,
after a long illness. The funeral will
be held from the home this afterno.on
at 3' o'clock and the interment will be
made in Belle vue cemetery.
to be signed ia its entirety by Mr.
Branch, the rolls plainly showing the
fact.
; Mr. Branch, in his testimony, frank
ly admitted carelessness in the meth
od of paying these employes and
says he now realized that by follow
ing' this custom he has laid himself
liable to charges of this nature.
He denies, ever having offered Mr,
Mathews any money whatever to set
tle this case, but states that he feels
that on account of the custom fol
lowed by him in the paying of these
rolls, being unable to prove the pay
ment thereof except by his own state
ment, he feels a sense of indebted
ness to Mr. Mathews for the amount
e involved.
j It is also denied by Mr. Branch that
Mr.v Mathews ever brought this com
plaint to his attention and ' that his
first knowledge of the details of the
complaint came from the newspapers.
Mr. Blair confirmed the statement
made by Mr. Mathews as to his visit
ing the city clerk and treasurer's
office, and told the committee what
he knew Regarding the preferment
and filing of the affidavit;
The evidence in this case resolves
itself into the question of veracity
between the contending parties, and
after carefully considering the mal,
teyour committee is of the opinion
that there is not sufficient evidence
to warrant further action in the mat
ter on the part of the Council. Your
, committee respectfully recommends
that in order to avoid a re-occurrence
of a matter of this kind in the future
all pay-rolls be paid in the office of
the city clerk and treasurer.
Respectfully submitted.
Committee.
