The Committee on Ways and Means.
to whom was referred the bill of the Ca.
rolina National Bank, for interest for
money advanced on account of the re.
demption OF coupons, made the follow
ing report:
Ihe Committee to whom the within
account was referred have considered the
same, and can see no good reason for it's
payment. It is we'll known that tho Ca
rollna National Bank is the city deposit
ory, often holding considerable Gums of
the city money for which no interest ia
paid; and it is neither just nor equitable
that the city should pay interest on over
payments made on its acconnt when the
bank pays no interest upon deposits.
The Committee recommend that the
bill be not paid. iTsg
On motion, the report OF the Commit
tee was adopted.
