Required to Give Bond.

For the year ending June &c. 1899 Con-
gress is asked to make an appropriation of
5000 to pay the treasurer. Before entering
upon the duties of her office that official
was obliged under the law (sup. Rev. Stat.
U. s., vol. 1, second edition, p 101, chap. 90,
sec. ~, to give bond to the United States,
with two or more sureties to be approved
by the first controller of the treasury, in
the sum of $4,000, conditioned that she
shall faithfully account for all the money
received by her as treasurer.
UNLESS these appropriations are made
the trustees are in danger of finding them
selves without a treasurer, as it is not
reasonable to suppose that any one would
long continue to disburse funds when it is
uncertain whether any salary will be paid,
or, If paid, is at variance with the COM
pensation fixed by the trustees at the time
of employment, and Is wholly inadequate
to the work which a treasurer is obliged
to perform and entirely out of proportion
to the bond required by the government
the premium on which bond. If taken by
a surety company, would lee nearly half the
salary as now appropriated by Congress-

Question of Tremsurer's Pay.

The office of treasurer: In accordance
with the law establishing the school, a
treasurer was appointed by the trustees
which appointment was approved by the
Commissioners of the District of Column
bia December 1S, 1896, on condition that
no liability for a salary be incurred until
an appropriation is made therefor by Con-
gress. In the general deficiency bill the
District of Columbia:
Reform school for girls: To pay the
treasurer a salary of 500 per month from
January to June 30, 1896, $500
For the fiscal year ending June so, 1897
Congress has made no appropriation. 1t is
urged by the trustees that in the first de-
ficiency bill passed by Congress an APP
preparation of $500 be made, to be available
at once, to pay the treasurer from July l.
1896 to June 80, 1897; that for the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1898, an appropria-
ton of SO per month be made from July
l, 1897, to June 30, 1898, which is asked in
view of the fact that Congress appropriated
only $500 to pay the treasurer. This ap-
pears to be in direct violation of the law
made by Congress itself, which states Sup
plement to the Revised Statutes of the
United States. vol. l, p. $3.50 that the board
of trustees have authority to appoint such
officers, agents, teachers and other en-
ployes as may be necessary, and to fix the
rate of compensation of the same. sub
ject to the approval of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia.

From the testimony. however II seems that
the only offense of which the lads could

Need of Pasturnre.

Pasture for cattle: There is no place
at the school upon which 10 pasture our
cattle ard horses. If Congress will grant
for the use of the school ten or fifteen acres
of government land in that neighborhoad
1t would assist us greatly.
''Cementing cellar floor: When the build
ing was handed over to the trustee the
cellar was not ccmented, and in the winter
OF 1884 1t was concerted by the men upon
the place. The cement had not worn well
and Is In bad condition. 1t should be re-
moved and the brick floor which is under
meath should be covered with Portland

SHOW that to do this will cost $500, for
which an appropriation is asked
storage house: As will be seen by the
re port of the superintendent the farm is
at present in excellent condition. and a
suitable building to store winter vegetables
Is badly needed. Congress is asked to APP
pfopr1ate 1880 to construct such Il build
ing which will be a great economy. as in
past years vegetables raised upon the farm
have been sold because there is no place
where they can be stored in winter.

The Estimates Explained.
In the annual report of President Endi-
planned these estimates as follows:
New building: On behalf of the trustees
of the school ] desire to emphasize again
the necessity of obtaining from Congress
additional appropriations in order TO in
crease the efficiency of the school and
enable the trustees to run the institution
upon a more economical basis. If Congress
will appropriate $jONU ninety or more cells
could be added to the school; no additional
force would be necessary to run the school
except, possibly two teachers. The cX-
perlence of the past year has shown thai
the present force though it may seem large
to care for the present number Of inmates,
Is absolutely essential in order to oversee
the girls properly in their work and to pre-
vent them from escaping from the institu-
ton. The present building could be much
improved upon as a reformatory institd-
ton. and if Congress should decide to i'll
crease the capacity of the school and ao-
propriate the above named sum, l would
respectfully suggest that the plans for such
an addition to the school. when carefully
prepared by an architect under the direc-
ton of the board of trustees of the girls
reform school, be submitted TO the Attorney
General of the United States and the En-
gneer Commissioner of the District of Co.
lun.bia for their approval.
Painting: The cutters, cornices, Win
cow frames and doors of the exterior of
the building are in need of paint. Owing
to the change last year of the heating
system the interior walls, which have
Eever teen painted, are much disfigured
Congress is asked to appropriate S1,.D to
enable the trustees to do this painting If
pc:sible this should be available at once.
