[page 77] it looks to me. The steward and treasurer knew what he was about. He knew whose influence was the best for him to make use of while he was in the institution. I had spoken to Mr. Richards of the way I though the superintendent might avoid any trouble and make things easy about it. It would require a law that the superintendent should be treasurer. In some institutions there is a treasurer who resides outside. And there is a clerk or steward in the institution who does all the work, and the treasurer is merely a nominal officer when the superintendent is not treasurer all bills are paid by order of the superintendent or the treasurer He looks over all the account, sees there is nothing ^ wrong, or that they have not been purchasing anything that they ought not to But Mr. Richards told me that Dr. Harlow was satisfied with the present arrangement of things. How does that tally with his statement before that it was the fault of the law? What had the law to do with it if the man didn't want it so, wouldn't have it so?
