Report on Norfolk county court house investigation ends briefed findings
A joint special committee concludes that statutes from 1894 were systematically violated to hide expenditures on the Dedham county court house. Altered architect certificates and falsified furniture proposals show attempts to conceal costs from the clerk, taxpayers, and public officers. The panel notes the limited time prevented full discussion and hints at larger overcharges beyond the initial estimates.
