Revenue and Income.
It is desired to especially emphasize the
necessity for obtaining legislation where
by all moneys in any way affecting the
District of Columbia, and from whatever
source derived. may be deposited in the
Treasury through the proper officers of
the District of Columbia Under existing
practices many deposits affecting the Dis
trict revenues are made in the Treasury
direct, and the accounting officers of the
District receive no notice of the same
until the close of the fiscal year and
then only in the shape of informal men,
oranda. The best results only can be
accomplished by securing legislation
which would require all moneys of the
character mentioned to be paid through
the collector of taxes and the accounting
therefor accordingly concentrated in one
account
Expenditures From District Appro-
priations.
Attention is invited to the fact that a
large sum of money is expended annually
from District of Columbia appropriations
by disbursing agents other than the dis
bursting officer OF the District. Along the
line of bringing all District accounts I'M
der one general head of control. the Com
missioners have previously recommended
and will again urge upon Congress that
the following draft of legislation. pre-
pared by the Secretary Of the Treasury
and transmitted with the estimates Of
District appropriations for the fiscal
years 1901 and 1902, DE enacted into law:
THAT hereafter all estimates and
acquisitions affecting the revenues of the
District of Columbia shall be submitted
to the Commissioners of the District, and
all payments from appropriations any
part Of which is chargeable to the said
revenues of the District of Columbia. or
repayments to appropriations and COL
lections increasing tho revenues, shall be
made through the officials of the District,
except in the case of the sinking fund,
which is otherwise specifically provided
for by law, and all accounts pertaining

thereto shall be settled by the auditor
for the State and other departments"
The expenditure of these appropriations
through the disbursing officer of the Dis
| trict will not affect the direct control Of
the work and the approval and certifca-
! ton of vouchers by the officers in charge
by law with such approval and control
the only purpose being to have the ex-
penditures made through the District dis
bursting officer on vouchers audited and
| approved by the auditor of the District.
In reporting the expenditures under Dis
| trict appropriations for the fiscal year
/, ended June so. 1909. the auditors office
has followed the arrangement and classi-
fication adopted in the preparation of the
new form of budget of estimates Of the
District for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1911.
New Method Adopted.
Realizing that the method in vogue OF
| handling acquisitions for supplies and
services required for the District and the
payment of public creditors was cumber-
some and productive of needless delays
the Commissioners, upon recommendation
of the District auditor. on December 81,
1905. transferred to the auditors office
the obligation accounts under appropria-
tons which had heretofore in part been
kept in the engineers department and In
the property clerks Office, together with
the clerks formerly in those Offices who
performed the work AS a, result of this
change and the cutting out of a part of
the routine handling of acquisitions and
vouchers. the accounts of public creditors.
which. under the old system required
weeks in settlement, are now adjusted
promptly and payments made within the
period of a few days of the fling Of the
claims. The change in this respect has
been so noticeable az to call for commen-
dation from District contractors and
others.
Juvenile Court Accounts.
Attention is invited to that class OF
moneys received by the clerk Of the Juv-
emile Court. by order of the judge of that
court. In what are called 'non-support
cases. During the fiscal year ended
June SO, 1909. the moneys OF this kind
received amounted to in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. representing an average Of
some 600 individual payments per week.
or about 10000 individual payments dur
ing the entire year.
Under the present system these moneys
are paid to the clerk of the Juvenile
Court and by him deposited in bank to his
