Title
Unauthorized Charges Made to Contractors
Description
Simmons referred to a previous letter sent to Swan that the identified unauthorized charges made by officers to Contractors. Contractor's had not submitted receipts at the time of the current letter so Simmons could not state if any of the charges were to be reimbursed. Simmons suggested withholding pay from mentioned officers. Major [Dlum?] notified Simmons that officers at Scotch Plains continued to take forage from contractors, even though their allotted allowance was no longer valid. Simmons advised that more officers will have pay docked.
