REPORT OF AUDITOR PETTY Difficulties in the Way of Prompt Disbursements. ee A CHANGE RECOMMENDED The annual report of Auditor Petty was transmitted to the Commissioners today, showing the receipts and expenditures of the government of the District of Colum- bia as shown in the accompanying state- ments for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1894. The auditor says of these statements: “A is an exhibit of the revenue account, showing, first, the cash surplus on hand July 1, 1803, together with the receipts from taxes, licenses and all other dis- tinctively District of Columbia sources of revenue, and cne-half of lapsed appropria- ticns accredited back to the general fund; secondly, the amount appropriated there- from to meet the payment of one-half of the expenses of the government, and, thirdly, the balance, remaining to the credit of the District at the close of the year. “B is a general statement of appropria- tions. It shows, first, the total balance of appropriations unexpended and subject to requisition July 1, 18, the aggregate amount appropriated for the year under various acts of Congress, and repayments to appropriations for the same period; secondly, the amounts advanced therefrom by the Secretary of the Treasury upon re- quisitions, and, thirdly, the total balance of appropriations subject to requisition in the treasury of the United States June 30, 1804, “C is a classified, statement of expendi- tures, consisting, first, of payments by the Commissioners in checks drawn upon the treasurer of the United States, with wkom, under the law, all moneys advanced upon requisitions aré deposited, and, sec- ondly, of reyuisitions approved by the Commisioners in favor, respectively, of the officers of various charitable institu- tions, and the treasurer of the United States,,as ex-officio commissioner of the sinking fund, on account of principal and interest of the bonded debt. “D is a summary of the account which the Commissioners, in their capacity as disbursing officers, keep with the treas- urer of the United States. it shows the deposits made by them of the amounts re- ceived from requisitions upon the Secre- tary of the Treasury on account of the general expenses of the District of Co- lumbia, checks drawn against the same by them, ind the balance, subject to their check, remaining with the treasurer June 30, 1804, “BE is a statement of the water fund revenue account, showing, first, the balance on hand July 1, 18%, and the collections from rents and water main taxes during the year; secondly, the amount appropri- ated therefrom for the expenses of the service; and, thirdly, the balance on hand June 30, 18%, being the surplus in excess of the amount appropriated. “F is a statement of the water fund appropriation account, showing, first, the total balance of appropriations unexpend- ed July 1, 1893, to which are added the ap- propriations made during the year; sec- ondly, the amount drawn upon requisition; and, thirdly, the totel balance of appropri- ations subject to requisition June 30, 1S). “G is a summarized statement of the various trust funds, showing, first, balances on’ hand July 1, 1898, and amounts collected and deposited in the treasury of the United States during the year; secondly. advances made to the Commissioners upon their re- quisitions, and, thirdly, balances subject to requisition remaining in the treasury June 80, 1894. “The surplus of revenue beyond the amount requisite to meet one-half of appro- priations for 184, payable by the District of Columbia, was, as stated herein, on the 30th day of June, 1804, $625,207.74, but as $300,000 of this sum were required by the act of August 7, 1804, to be applied in ex- linguishment of the debt incurred for in- creasing the water supply as provided in the act of July 15, 1882, otherwise known as the “tunnel debt,” the excess on June 30, 1894, may be more properly stated to have been $325,20' The Police Relief Fund. “When my report was submitted in No- vember, 1898, the.bond reserve of the police relief fund had been reduced to $6,000. This sum, with the collections of fines, de- ductions from pay end sales of the “ tory of the Police Department,” barely ficed by scaling down the allowances after June, 1804, from $1,750 to $913 per month, to pay the rolls up to September 30, 1894, since which date no payment has been made. As this fund is for the relief of men who have been injured or worn out in the service, and the widows and orphans of those who have fallen at the post of duty, the adoption of some plan whereby it may be placed upon a stable basis is a matter which, I doubt not, will commend itself to your early and favorable consid- eration. The Star's Relief Fund. “The sum of $4,019.43 was contributed by citizens of the District through The Even- ing Star for the relief of the families of the firemen killed at.the Knox Express build- ing July 25, 1894, and turned over to the Commissioners by the proprietors of The Star for distribution. Secretary Tindall and myself were appointed a committee to make the allotment, and decided upon an allowance of one-third to the widow of Fireman Mastin, one-sixth to each of the two sisters of Fireman Fenton, one-sixth to T. Dennis Harper, the uncle of Fireman O'Donoghue, who reared him, and with whom he had a home, and one-sixth to Dennis O'Donoghue and his wife, the father and mother of the deceased. Checks in disbursement were accordingly drawn in favor of Lida A. Mastin for $1,339.81, Kate M. Fenton for $669.91, Annie M. Fenton for 3669.90, T. Dennis Harper for $669.91 and Dennis O'Donoghue for $069.90, Difficulties as to Disbursements, “The constant growth of official business and the changes which occur from time to time in the personnel of the board, ren- der it increasingly difficult for the Com- missioners to exercise the functions of dis- bursing officers, It is often the case that when vouchers for large amounts, due, it may be, to contractors upon important public works, who need the money in order to meet their obligations to their employes, have been advanced almost to the point of payment, lacking only the approval of the president of the board of Commissioners, that the latter 1s so engaged with other equally exacting duties as to be unable to sign the checks until too late in the day to get them cashed, elther at the treasury or the banks. hen, again, in paying the monthly rolis the Commissioners are re- quired to sign some thousands of checks— a task which interrupts their ordinary oc- cupation for several days and frequently engrosses their attention to the exclusion of matters in which citizens representing the general public are concerned, and who receive with scarcely concealed impatience the information that their request for a hearing must be postponed to “a more convenient season.’ Whenever a vacancy occurs in the board of Commissioners by resignation or otherwise‘it becomes neces- sary to immediately close their accounts and cover back into the treasury all bal- ances due ffom them to the United States, no advances being made to their successors until a complete adjustment of their ac- counts has been effected. This requires from fifte2n to twenty days of unremitting work, during which time no payments can be made, thus entailing hardship and loss upon those who, having furnished supplies or labor, are entitled to prompt settlement of their claims. A Change Recommended. ‘The situation is so fraught with difficulty, and is the occasion of so much friction—a fact which appeals strongly to the expe- rience of those who have business dealings with the office—that I feel it foes upon me to suggest that the organic act be amended by transferring to the auditor the duties incident to the disbursement of the revenues which are now by law impos- ed upon the Commissioners—a change Babies and rapidly wing children derive more benefit froma Scott’s Emulsion,than all the rest of the food they eat. Its. nourishing powers are felt almost immedi- ately. Babies and children thrive on Scott’s Emulsion when no other form of food is assimilated, Scott's mulsio stimulates the appetite, enriches the blood,overcomes wasting and* gives strength to all who take it.

The officers and em- Ployes of the District, other than laborers, are paid but once a month in consequence of the difficulty attending the issuance of so large a number of checks, but if the change suggested be adopted semi-monthly payments, which have long been desired by all, and which seem with many to be a necessity, might esily be made the rule in- stead of, as now, the exception. If this suggestion meet with your approval a plan can be formulated, after conference with the accounting officers of the t which will accomplish the end sought be at- tained. ‘ There have been 10,836 claims audited, showing an increase of #8 far the year, of about 10 per centurn, in excess of the num- ber allowed during 1893, to pay which re- quired the drawing of 33,055 checks.
