it found “hundreds of state law

Jensen, said the hoard had started efforts to recover $3498.51 from 18 present and former city, officials and two \companies. . : | Many of the recoveries sought, IMr. Jensen said, were for. tele[phone bills paid by the city gen-! leral fund for private phones in lhomes and offices of the officials.| The report, filed by Examiner {Walter C. Shea, cited violations of the state budget and public depository laws, and laws pro(hibiting officials from having interests in public contracts and prohibiting the diversion of funds.| Another section of the report criticized the: Whiting municipal water utility's bookkeeping methods.
