Report of the Special Senate Committee Appointed January 11th, to Investigate
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book reveals the practices and events surrounding the 1876 Maryland State Senate's investigation into allegations of corruption within the office of the state's Weigher of Live Stock, or more plainly, the person responsible for the weighing of livestock and the collection of funds generated from the service. Through interviews with the Weighmaster, Thomas H. Moore, and other key figures, the investigation uncovered questionable financial practices, including the use of state funds for personal expenses. The inquiry also revealed unnecessary repairs and improvements to the state property, with little evidence to support their necessity. The book provides valuable insight into the inner workings of a government office and the potential for abuse of power when proper oversight is lacking. It also highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in public service, underscoring the need for checks and balances to prevent individuals from exploiting their positions for personal gain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332075034_0
