MAC vEAeH 70 URGE REFORMS.
Will Rseomsnd Changes in Issues Of
Paper Currency.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Important
changes in some Of the issues Of paper
currency and a radical reform in the
method Of disbursing public moneys
under the sub-treasury system, probab-
~ will be recommended to congress by
Secretary MacVeagh.
The treasury desires authority to is
sue paper money in denominations
most needed. Mr.. MacVeagh will rec
cmmend that the laws restricting the
issues Of certain denominations be re-
Taxed. A radical step in the reform Of
the sub-treasury system will be a rec
omendation that collectors Of customs
and internal revenue be authorized to
receive certified checks of national
banks.
The banks asked for a provision Of
law to require the government to pay
the cost Of redemption of its own cur
rency and the cost of transportation.
This Secretary MacVeagi declines to
recommend because it would cost the
government about 100000 a year.
