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.
