What action the government will
take since the funding bill has been
defeated in congress cannot be stated.
The attorney general is out of town
and no one in the department is will
ing to speak with authority on the
subject. 1t is believed it is the inten-
ton TO take some steps looking to a
settlement, in the courts If necessary,
of this long pending and yexed ques-
ton. Accorlicg to the treasury fig
tures of January / the net amount due
the United States by the bond aided
roads is $12l,31O,S76, the original prin-
cipal of which was $64,623, SIP. In ad-
dition to the amount owing to the
United States the companies under au-
thority granted by the act of 1864 is
sued bonds amounting to $64,613,0 900,
which since have by act of congress
become first lien on the roads.
After the funding bill was
disposed of The army approprl-
ations bill and several other
bills were passed. The army bill car
ried $23,126,344, S155,55S less than for
the current year.
