(70 ILCS 210/27) (from Ch. 85, par. 1247)
Sec. 27.
The Board may investigate conditions in which it has an interest
within the area of the Authority, the enforcement of its ordinances, rules
and regulations, and the action, conduct and efficiency of all officers,
agents and employees of the Authority. In the conduct of such
investigations the Board may hold public hearings on its own motion. 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 such investigations and to any hearing before the Board
or any member thereof.
Any circuit court of this State, upon application
of the Board, or any member thereof, may in its discretion compel
the attendance of witnesses, the production of books and papers, and giving of
testimony before the Board or before any member thereof or 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.
