Pub. Doc. No. 44 Special report of the Auditor of State [Ohio] in conformity to a resolution of the last General Assembly on the condition of the several railroad companies to which the credit of the state has been loaned. January 5, 1843. The Auditor and his clerk did the investigations from April to December of 1842. It appeared to be an arduous process. Six railroads were examined and only one was above reproach. There was considerable fraud uncovered; some of the roads created banks for themselves, and quite literally printed money. There were all sorts of shenanigans with land transfers and self-aggrandizement. It was a depressing report.
