AFFIRMATIVE ANSWER.
District Auditor Required to Audit
Ceftain Disbursements.

The controller of the treasury was recent
~ requested by the District Commissioners
to inform them whether the law now re-
quires that accounts for the disbursements
of the following appropriations shall be au-
dited by the auditor of the District before
being transmitted to the accounting officers
of the treasury: For the support and med
zeal treatment of medical and surgical pa
tients, who are destitute here under a con-
tract with Providence Hospital, $4,000;
for support of INDECENT insane of the Dis
trict at st. Elizabeth's Asylum, s122 494 so;

The District appropriation act of June 80
1S9S, provides that thereafter all accounts
for the disbursement of the appropriations
made either from the revenues of the Dis
trlct or jointly from the revenues of the
United States and the District shall be aud
tied by the auditor of the District before
being transmitted to the accounting officer
OF the treasury, unless otherwise specifcal-
ly provided In the law making such appro-
priations
1t is only necessary says the control
qulrY, to read the foregoing statutes to
answer your question in the affirmative.
The above named appropriations are made
partly from District revenues and partly
from the revenues of the United States,
ana the law making them does not except
them from the requirement of the act of
June 30 1898, supra, that the accounts for
disbursement Hereunder shall be audited
by the auditor of the District of Columbia
before being transmitted to the accounting
officers of the treasury
