authorizing the Treasurer to redeem un-
signed notes ST national banks that have or may
hereafter De delivered in the same manner as
other notes. The Treasurer recommends that
loans be kept seperate from other accounts;
also that unavailable balances against public
officers and on which it is not probable that
anything will be realized except through suits
at law, be transferred to the books of the Reg
lister of the Treasury, and when advisable. suits
be brought thereof.
As to national bank note redemption he
thinks no further delay will occur, although
the redemption agency is still without sufficient
help. Notices will soo2 be sent to the banks
advising them of the amount charged to their
redemption fund to reimburse the Treasury for
charges for transportation ann cost OF asserting
notes. The charges will be in proportion to the
number of notes for redemption rather than
their value
The redemption agency, he thinks. should be
made division in the treasurers office subject
to the control of the Secretary of the Treasury.
There should be a stringent provision of law
compelling banks to keep good their FIVE per
centum redemption deposit and the banks
ought to be allowed to keep an excess thereon
if desired An amendment of the law is also
recommended authorizing the exchange of
notes fit for circulation held by the redemption
agency for unfit notes held by the treasury
which would save double the transportation,
expense and time. Another amendment was
urged requiring all notes not bearing the char

committee state that parties in London propose
to take the whole debt of the state, if endorsed
by the Legislature, in new five per cent bonds,
interest payable semi-annually in gold in Lon

of the following resolutions:
