|MACLENNAN
HAS RECORD
Delay Before Fire
Claims Are
Paid.
The Certificates and
Receipts Must Be
Made Out.
Clerical Work Nay Still Delay
Payment OF Million Dollars
a Week.

Secretary Carter turned over to
Treasury Agent MacLennan yesterday
the transcript of the fire claims awards
duly signed and certified by Governor
Dole as correct. With the record was
also turned over the oro rata estimates
made by the Territory for the use of
the treasury agent in paying out the
million dollars and the s32e,Ooo in
bonds in equal proportions.
Though Mr.. MacLennan now has the
record it is very doubtful whether the
payment of the money will begin this
week. There is a considerable amount
of work to be done first and this may
take a week or even longer.
In the first place it IS not expected
that the treasury agent will begin the
payment of the million dollars until he
knows how he is going to come out of
the affair That is the receipts and the
treasury warrants will first be made
out according to the pro rata and it
Will then be ascertained whethe- ire
sum fetal of the treasury certificates
to be issued will figure out more than
the million dollars at thu DISPOSAL of
for this purpose. The work
will be expedited however by the assis-
lance already rendered by the Territory
and also by the generous offer of the
First National Bank which institution
has agreed to prepare the receipts and
also the certificates which require ctIy
the signature of the treasury agent
The First National Bank has also OF
fered to place Office room at the disposal
of Mr.. MacLennan and to assist in ia
ailitating the payment of the money
in every possible way.
1t is probable now that no further
mainder of the bonds. 1t has been
pointed out that once the million dol
lars are paid the claimants will be
anxious to dispose of their remaining
interests which will be covered by the
bond issue. If they sold their claims
now the banks would of necessity have
to buy up the entire claim for cash,
while after the million dollars has been
paid the claimants would glady take
ninety per cent for the remainder.
The task of making out over six
thousand receipts and as many more
treasury certificates Will be an enor
nous one for each warrant must be
signed by Mr.. MGcLennan. The assis-
.ance of the bank will, however, greatly
assist in the completion of this work
