TTHAs BEENLONG THE PRACTICE
i of this Office 10 pay the drafts drawn and nego-
tlated by contractors for carrying the United
States mails, for the amounts, respectively, OF their
quarterly paw. Ii was established to accommo-
date the contractors, and meet their necessities, in
advance Of the regular and slower process of pay
ing by the drafts warrants OF the department,
and was intended only to apply to one dratf per
route from each contractor for the 1io6 amount,
(deductng fines, collections, &c0 Of his quarterly
pay; but it has been, and is quite generally SO
misunderstood, as TO be supposed 10 allow any
number Of drafts, and for any amount not exceed
ing in the aggregate, the contract pay for the quar-
ter privilege conceded for accommodation Qor
il was never anything more has thus been made
10 enbarrass materially the business of this Office,
forced upon il the settlement of the private ac-
counts of contractors, and thrown upon the ex-
changes OF the country with quasi sanction OF
this Office, species of paper currency unauthor-
lied by the laws.
1t not unfrequently occurs, too, that this Office is
exposed TO great and unnecessary risk in deter
mining upon the genuineness of the signatures to
the assignments endorsements Of the various
persons through whose hands these drafts are
made to pass before their presentation.
II is therefore deemed proper to give this public
notice to contractors, and all concerned that from
and after the 1st day of January, 1854, but one
DRAFT for the pay upon each route per quarter will
be payed, or filed for payment, in this office. This
draft should state upon its face, that t Is the only
one for The quarter aud tie route lboth be speci-
fed)o which il is drawn and the signature there
to shouH BE- atfestsd By the postmaster at the place
Scere IL man be dyawn and one other aoiness; aud
each assignment thereof should be attested by t,co
qcttnesses.
