The following communication received, read and placed on file. December 23,1920. Mr, G. A. Elliott, Beard of Public Works, South Bend, Indiana. Dear Sir In reply to your favor of the 17th. , we beg to advise: It is the opinion of this department that the claim of Lowell B. Curwin is not a le al claim against thq City of South Bend and cannot be paid. 'The.service rendered by Mr. Curwin is a duty imposed by law upon the State { Board of Accounts and had a request been made upon this department for am.examinatj tion, we would have been pleased to have made such examination. At the time the examination was being made by Mr. Curwin, we had two accountants in your City. The examination made by Mr. Curwin does in no way relieve this department of its obligation to the City of South Bend and an examination will be made in the regular course of business regardless of the examination of Mr. Curwin. Very truly yours, JESSE C ESCHBACH WGO:GG Filed State Examiner, Dec. 28 1921, BOARD OF �UBLIC WORKS BY G. A. ELLIOTT President. J �, a
