the sttention Of shc Legislature to Q matter
viii \. ia my opinion, is OF public Interest.
/ ON lie Sd OF january. 1915, an act was
passed repeating section Z OF chapter " OF
the Code OF 1878, thereby changing the
manner Of disbursing the appro priafions
made sor the support OF the asylunls. Inc
change thus made In the law, IN its practi-
cal workings, results In this That thon-
ssuas OF dollars Of public moneys may De
disbursed by parties who have not gwen OF
been required to give any bond ior tne
mt under their control. is this safe
is it not reprehensible in the Lawmakers 81
this State TO change law under W hien the
disburser OF public funds was required TO
give bond, with sufficient security, and
place the power OF handling $60, GOO per an
mum In the hands OF parties, however hon.
orabIe and honest, without requiring bond
ane: seeurity2 1t Is true the act OF 30 Jan.
uarr. 1916, does provide that the cashier OF
the hank at Richmond, where the appropr-
alton shall be deposited, shall give bono ZOE
the custody OF the money; but the bank
NAV nav out said money upon checks drawn
and signed In such form as such Board OF
Directors shall prescribe. Sothat the board
NAV. without any violation Of that law, pre-
scr;ae to said bank aforn, &c.; and whether
that form is one OF security or not, the
cashier is absolyed from his liabilities
IL he pays out only on that form.
1t will strike the superficial observer that
the I" cashiers ~ OF such banks are the dis
bursting officers, and that they under the
law are required to give bond in sufnclent
penalty. Bnt observe, what is to prevent
the Board. OF Directors to prescribe that one
of their own body shall draw and sign
checks on said banks without providing
that the..said member shall give bond and
security before he shall so draw and sign!
Will you say that such supposition reaches
into the. inpossibIep / tell you nay for
verify under that very law the equivalent
OF the supposition has already been done.
Heretofore, at the Eastern Lunatic Asylum
the Board OF Directors "prescribed to the
bank that the moneys so deposited should
be disbursed by the bank upon checks
drawn and signed by the steward OF said
asylum, who was bonded officer; butt ut
meeting OF the Board of Directors OF SAID
asylum, held on the 18th Of December, 1878,
that was changed, and now the bank Is OIL
recCed TO pay out on check drawn and signed
by the President of the. Board and the Su-
perintendent, who are not bonded officers.
I do not mean to attribute to the high
minded and upright gentlemen on that
Board anything beyond an oversight in not
scrutinizing closely. the amendment and
change so made by them, but surely they
will admit that it was imprudent to allow
The moneys so. to be handled. Is not the
matter of sufficient importance to attract
the attention Of the Legislature. Precau-
ton is better than cure. ttH Il. L. "A.

We beg leave to inform the Wing $50 that
1t may publish no more such iibeIlous let
tiers as the one which appeared first on its
third page Saturday, that the Dispatch has
never in one single instance published let
ter which purported to be other than it was.
We have never published letter purport-
ing to be written by some one else which
was written by ourselves.
The letter alluded to by the Whig's cor.
respondent was written by CARTER NJ. Lou
THAN, Esq, formerly Of Clarke county, Va,
now residing in Missouri, and was signed
g C. M. l..
Now, let the Wing tell US whether the
letter we are commenting upon was written
in the Wig office, or by one of its EN-
pioyes Of any sort. All it has to do is to
tell his name, as we have told that OF our
correspondent. The public will be able
then to compare the two.
