The morning times., 1895-08-20

The War Department is in almost daily
receipt OF complaints from the cisbursing
officers in the various river and harbor
districts of the country concerning the
delay III forwarding money from the Treas
ury Department in response to their requi-
sitions
These complaints represent that in many
cases contractors and laborers are clam
orous for money, which in some cases has
been due for three or four months.
The War Department officials are re-
luctant to discuss the question, but admit
that complaints are made, and that, instead
ofbeing confined 20 any one or two districts,
they are quite general. There has been
especial criticism from the Detroit and
St Louis districts, in each OF which the
government is in arrears to the extent
of about $3.50 900.
WHO is RESP ONSIBLE?
The War Department officials say that
the responsibility for this state of affairs
is not theirs. 1t has been the practice
heretofore for the eng gineer officers in
charge OF the river and harbor work in the
various districts to send in their requisi-
tions at ora bout the beginning ofeachmOnth
for the money supposed to be necessary TO
meet the expenses Of the month.
The chief engineer forwards them
promptly, giving full credence to the esti-
mates of the subordinate officers in the
field, but the Treasury Department, it is
said, now shows a disposition 10 withhold
settlement longer than was formerly the
case.
The War Department officials complain
that this has had the effect OF keeping the
government in arrears TO employees, of caus-
ing criticism OF their department and of
hardship to persons dependent upon this
work.
In the case of the work in the Detroit
district, for instance, it is represented
that Gen. Poe, in charge OF the work there
was compelled TO send two kilograms, urg
ing attention TO his requisition before ne
could get the money upon it.
REQUIsITIONs UNPAID.
Rumor placed the amount of acquisitions
withheld at from 100000 TO Sc 6,OOO,-
600, but the chief Of the warrant division
of the Treasury, when seen, said this
report was an eXaggeration, and that his
books show that only little over $500 900
in acquisitions stand unnaid.
The acquisitions -ol yer and he Dor
work come from the = ar Department, and
when indorsed as Immediately necessary
are, according TO Mr.. McClennan, forth
with paid over TO the engineer in charge.
II was the custom, it was explained at the
Treasury Department, until the admin
istration of Secretary Foster, to issue war
rants for acquisitions Of officers in charge
OF river and harbor work Immediately on
their receipt.
But under Secretary Fosters direction
change was ordered by which the amounts
standing to the credit OF disbursing officers
were reduced from over $40 900 900 to
about $50 900 900.
This change was the result or an investi-
CATION which showed that acquisitions
were often made by disbursing off GERS
for large sums when her balances were
large, and there was, it is stated, absolutely
no immediate use for the money for which
they called.
