tory Originally n postmaster was re-
sponsIble under his bond for all
moneys received. and IL was his duty
to account therefore even II loss WAS
due 20 a subordinate. a veXatious
question as to responsibility for losses
has arisen since the act referred to
became effective, If the postmaster
makes good the loss, there Is no pro-
vision for him TO succeed to the rights
Of the United States under the clerks

have no recourse In the event the loss
exceeded the amount OF the bond.
therefore earnestly renew my recon-

and suggest law be enacted requir-

other employees to give bonds to post
masters direct, and holding postmas-
