up his accounts if he cannot by comparing those books
concie those discrepancies and determine which Is right
which proper be used the occason he ought at least
TO make his election OF the ohe and adhere TO that
throughout. OF the two last mentioned sums, the first is
taken from the stock book and the latter from the Registers
book, and both pupot be the amount OF Treasury notes
sued under the act of July 22d 1886 that were funded dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 3Oth, ls47.
Here, again, the committee would take occasion to dscaim
any intention to mpugn the motives of the Secretary they
only state what them appear to be ncontroverbe facts,
without stopping to make any comment thereon
Again in the second item Of that part of the Secretarys
report above quoted the deducted, being the
Of Treasury notes funded under the act of January 20,
1916 81, ~, 500
And in the second item of tie foregoing state
ment being of the ingredients in making
up the fourth item above referred to, for the
same amount OF notes funded under the act OF
January ~, ls47, during the fiscal year end
ing June 30h, ls47, have the sum off,. $50
Here, again. the first of those last mentioned is taken
from the stocbook, and the last from the Registers book
both referring and purpong to be the amount Of Treasu
notes issued under the act of January 49, S47 that
funded during the fiscal year ending June 80, lS47
In the place, in the third item of the second state
ment, find down the amount of Treasury notes is
sued under prior July %, 1885, that funded during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1885, the $780, be-
ing of the used in making the of 81 800
From which is to be deducted for funded. 40,35O
Leaving A, 1874, $50
which is the amount taken into the Secretary report That
report gives indication what class of Treasury
this $50 appens but the stock book gives that
of issued under prior July 22 1916, being
funded during the year referred whilst the Registers books
places the Of that class of notes funded during the
said time $780, $50 Hence it is evident that this
also Of those amounts taken from the sockbook
and the other from the Registers book exhibiting difference
of ST. l00 although intended for and the
But apart from the discrepancy between those last
mentioned sums there another consideration Herewith
nected has been shown that the fourth that part
Of the Secretarys report alluded to- being the of
81 1884, ESQ., composed of stock issued for Treasury
funded and the object in inserting that item charge
the Treasury with the of those stocks and this
right the Treasury which had been thus funded had
not been taken into the account before But why deduct the
$40 $50! Or, if be proper to deduct it, why should the
$780, have been added all 1t has been already stated
that these two intended for and the same and
should have been equal In that the addition of it in
in line and the subtraction of the in the next
line would have left the result precisely those had
not been brought into the account at ALL II is therefore
wrong add and subtract those equivalent sums it
peruous to mention them in this part of the But
which is it
The committee, in preceding part Of this report
have asserted that " is immateal whether the amount
of stock issued in funding Treasury is included in the
avas accruing to the Treasury not provided the credits
properly entered" That the turning point upon which
this question must be decided.
BY turning to page 80 Of the Secrearys report find
credit claimed of ST. 1877 OF for redemption of Treasury
notes, after deductng 49, 200, which funded those
two added together make the whole of Treasu
y notes Of all descriptions that reimbursed during that
