Sec. 155.
Investigations by the Board.
The Board may investigate
conditions in which it has an interest within the area of the district; the
enforcement of its
ordinances, rules, and regulations; and the action, conduct, and efficiency of
all
officers, agents, and employees of the district. In the conduct of
investigations the Board
may hold public hearings on its own motion and shall do so on complaint of any
municipality within the district. Each member of the Board shall have power to
administer oaths and the secretary, by order of the Board, shall issue
subpoenas to
secure the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of books
and
papers relevant to investigations and to any
hearing before the Board or any member
of the Board.
Any circuit court of this State, upon application of the Board or any member
of
the Board, may in its discretion compel the attendance of witnesses, the
production of
books and papers, and giving of testimony before the Board, before any member
of
the Board, or before any officers' committee appointed by the Board by
attachment for
contempt or otherwise in the same manner as the production of evidence may be
compelled before the court.
