Public dispute over Illinois state institution investigations
Springfield, March 11. A formal reply defends the state institutions against unsubstantiated attacks from newspapers. The document condemns the investigative committee for omitting cross examination, publishing defamatory claims, and acting as a traveling inquisition while asserting bids are let to the lowest bidder. It cites coal contracts at Jacksonville and Lincoln as evidence of proper procurement and counters cost-savings claims.
