other States of the Union. Harlan said
TO repeal the present provisions would
be to forever debar the poor from OBJ

would be taken up by the wealthy peo-
pie of those States. Kellogg expressed
his Willingness that Harlan should offer
an amendment to obviate the contingen.

The balance OF 4290. .37S ~ due from this account,
the committee nnd is composed OF an excess OF
payments made during the past two and hall
years ior interest on assessment fund bonds, and
street improvements fond b0nas including also va
rious amounts refunded upon invalid sales for non
payment OF assessments beyond the receipts Tor in
terest on assessments collected by the Collector OF
Assessments and the Clerk OF Arrears, and for In
terest on advances made to contractors. The only
legitimate means OF providing for This deficiency Is
to raise the amount by taxation.
The committee feel 1t to he their duty to express
the most emphatic aud unqualified disapprobstlon
OF all transactions OF this character. While the
laws relating to the Issues or assessment fund bonds
and street Improvement fund bonds are believed to
authorize the application OF the interest collected
from assessments to the payment OF interest on
such loans, there is no legal warrant for making
payments for that or any other purpose without
balance sufficient TO pay the same has previously
been provided to the credit OF the proper account In
the Chamberlans, as well as the C0mptr0llers
books. In respect TO this account OF '1nterest on
assessments" the monthly balance sheets OF the
general ledger for more than two years past show
that 1t has all the while been 0verdrawn, as follows
