The legislative committee could not audit one-fourth of the bills in the allotted time, and in 1850 were several years in arrears. When the office of State Auditor was created, and a special commission had investi- gated the subject, it was found that, in some towns dead- paupers had been charged for as if living... ; that, during the- suspension of work, many operatives had been enrolled as^ State paupers ; that in some towns trifling gifts to families were made the basis of charging all their members to the State- for a whole winter.
