While EL proper accounting of this salo might havo been made, I aukquit that moneys due tho state for leased property should 10t be out" by a canal ferman. According to the investigation thus far made, it appears thot othez lots of iron and junk hare on several different occasions been sold by Mr. Watkins.

Watkins had recoired for tho team, and taint he had offered 8400 for the team, but for Rome reason Wulking refused to sell it. Following this transaction, it appours that according to the reports, Mr. Walkins at different times bought and sold horace presumubly for tho state. I that these be thoroughly investigated, since testimony tends to show that commissions toro paid prirate parties.
