Nevertheless. by Jay, all such funds remain constructively In the hands‘of the Treasurer, and are reported Wy hn with every ensh-statement asso much cash on hand. An explanation of the matter fg necessarily made with every statement. The statements are, however, eanfusing, What is really needed, and what the ‘Treas- ‘usy uuthorities have for years been recom: , mending, ts nuthority for the Register to OPEN A NEW SET OF 100K, upon which the Treasurer niny be credited ; With the amount of the unavailable funds, and with such losses as oceur from thne to tothne through no fault of his own,—tho respeetive amounts being charged upon the the same books to the persons, States, or cor- » porations fram which they are supposed to “be due.
