Identified by the receipt given by
Mr.. Hemingway, but this can be Vi
disposed of as satisfactory as the
item Of bonds. The books show
$1l0, $40 90 of interest due and
outstanding January, 1876. When
we use the words "due and out,
standing" we mean to include all
interest due and past due, fer
which credit had not been taken.
The books develop the fact that
Treasurer Hemingway has been
credited with Sll0,32I, on ac-
count OF interest, or coupons due
and outstanding, January lst,
1876. Two statements Of the
coupons outstanding January |,
1876, are filed marked statement
Nos. - which show when the
coupons were crcdlued TO Mr
Hemingway.
We can identify $70,372 90 Of
the coupons delivered to lIoming-
way by Holland, which included
all Of the coupons due prior 70
the 1st day of January, 1876 4
statement OF these coupons is
hereto attached marked state
mont No. - which shows ia de-
tail wheO same were credited to
Hemingway.
Statement No. - shows tho
coupons due on january lst,
1876, to be $780, 90 and the
dates when Hemingway took cred
1T for same. OF this amount Of
coupons $50, ,17S 90 must ueces,
sarily have been cashed by Hol-
land between January l and Z,
1876, and turned over to Heming-
way IN the total of $l05, $50 90
ltemized in Hemingway S receipt
to Holland. We are led to this
conclusion by the fact there were
no other coupons for interest due
AMI outstanding, which could
compose the Item recelptee for.
Those statements show beyond
doubt that Hemingway has taken
proper credit fol every dollar Of
the $1O5.550 90 of coupons which
could possibly have been receiy-
cd from Holland, save and eX-
cepting outstanding coupons on
series A. and b., Act Of April A.,
1872, amounting to $1,000.
, In reference to the certificates
| of Indebtedness paid aud not au-
, dited" we have only to say: The
law authorized the issuance Of
$500, 900 90 ali of which were s.
sued, and further show that they
have all been taken up, cancelled
and proper credit taken therefor,
5 except $2,4s3 90. When NJ.
! Hemingway came into Office there
/ were outstanding Sl56,95O 90,
G and he took credit for $l54 ,467 0O
leaving still outstanding 81 4S3 0C
as shown by the books and his re.
y port for 1890.
o We could not identify, witt
W absolute certainty, the State war
70 rants, amounting to $21,775 90
: for which Mr.. Hemingway re-
y celpted to his predecessor, but AZ
/ examination of the books shoN
that Mr.. Hemingway unquestlon
/, ably took credit for them in 1876
: To show tho correctness of this
conclusion we cite your Excel
i iency to the itemized statement o
e the funds in the treasury January
i lst, 1877, in Treasuger's repoi
i 1877. You will observe that tn,
j Treasurer in making SAID state
/, ment omlts to mention any iten
i of warrants, showing that at ina
> time he himself considered tha
- the credits taken for warrant
during 1876 included the war
( rants receipted for. The book
~ show, to Il reasonable certainty
~ that Mr.. Hemingway took credi
A. in 1876 for the 81, 800 lnsuranc
q interest.
