Company for a claim in the amount of $3,165.74 for work allegedly done at the Children's
Home in 1951. Mr. Lane, Mr. Pettit, and Mr. Mazza were the Commissioners at that time.
After a discussion on the contents of the letter and the vouchers and
invoices submitted to the Board of Commissioners, Mr. Pettit and Mir. Mazza indicated that to
the best of their knowledge, the material had been received, but they do net know whether or not
Martin's Lumber Company had been paid. Mr. Pettit and Mr. Mazza were skeptical about honoring
such a request after a lapse of 12 years from the time the material was furnished, and therefore
wanted a more complete substantiation of the facts.
It was moved by Mr. Mazza and seconded by Mr. Pettit, that the communication
and vouchers be turned over to the County Controller for a certification as to whether the bills
had been paid. Upon receipt of such certification, the matter was turned over to the Solicitor's
Office for a legal determination of the claim.
