�Omaha - October 13, 1923.

Mro E. So Brooks:
Looking over the balance held by the State Treasurer
in the Compens ati on Fund December 31st la.st 6 I find same to be shovm as
per attached statement o
As the Kemmerer Coal Company must now have a very serious
over-draft., I run wonde r ing why that compo.ny was allowed to have the small
balance in the fund shm1m by the annual report o

Can you explain this?

You will note that Mro Hay has an over-draft of $1733.06.
