there was o carefully prepared estimate madeof the
money required to pay these bOunties under law

No. 94O, except to tho Of making the pay
ment. The sum estimated at $253, ,691 900. In
April 1866, for additional bounes the estimate Was
$685. 0oO The expenditures under the bounry actg

mate Of the further amount that would be required
under the bill In question, namely, sl95, 800.
