This method of stating the revenue ac- count, presented now for the first time in an annual report, differs materially from the form heretofore used in the yearly statements of thjs | office, but as itis simple in arrangement and | easily understood it is offered im the hope that | it may commend itself to the approval of those who are interested in the study of District | fi | sources other than those contributory to Dis- | trict revenues.

The return to payment by check was in deference to the opinion of one of the principal accounting officers of the treas- ury, who, while conceding the manifest advantages of the cash it such @ radical methods previously in vogue as to be of doubt- ful authority and advised that recourse be had to Congress for such legislation in the premises as would place its legality beyond a peradver ture.
