Treasurer Gray Has 81. .734 for Someone
Who Can Prove Ownership.
Special to the Jerseu Citu Ne,os.
TRENTON, Aug. 20. 1s92.-State Treasur-
er Gray holds in his hands $1,734, which
belong to some unknown persons. who
hold State bonds but fail to collect the
interest due them. The entire bonded
debt Of The State, contracted during the
war, amounts to $l096. 800. About
500, 900 of it falls due annually, and The
debt cannot be wiped out until $780, Most
OF the coupons are presented annually,
and the interest is always promptly paid
but the coupons for 81. .734 have never been
presented. They are as follows:-Thlr-
teen coupons on bonds of 500, $50; eleven
on bonds of $500, S165: fifty-one on bonds
of 81, ,000 81. .530-S1.73
The coupons on the 500 bonds are num-
bered 6, and tell due away back in 1865.
and the bonds themselves were paid in
1868. The interest will not be paid until
the coupons are presented, and as they
have probably besn lost or stolen, the
State Is in the amount OF the interest.
Eight of the 500 coupons were payable
in 1887, 1888 and 1890, and have never
turned up.
The largest item in the account is the
amount due on the, 81 900 bonds. There
are hfty-one of these, and some or them
were payable in 1866 and on down to 1890.
The numbers of the missing coupons are
annually published, but the owners fail
to turn up. The money is awaiting the
owner, and whoever produces the cou-
pons can draw it.
