CAN'T GET RID OF MONEY.

bullion belonging to an outsider. The
trust must otherwise stand, the con-
troller of the Treasury. George E.
Downey rules. and the money or equiv
alent of the bullion cannot be turned
into the general Treasury.
Since 1856 there has been to the credit
of H. J. Peters the amount of $127.S7 on
the books of the San Francisco mint,
the value of gold bullion deposited. Jo-
seph Baker has had $333.27 to his credit
since 1855. And since 1853 there has
been S151.96 to the credit of ]. H. South
er. at the same mint. in payment for bull
lion deposited.
Thomas F. Davis brought in his silver
bullion in 1885. He wanted fine bars in
exchange for it. but never called for
it. The bullion, then valued at 81 an
ounce was credited to his account at
S1SO.9O. 1t is now worth only 60 cents
an ounce.
Controller Downey decides that as the
credits do not represent debts owed by
the United States they cannot be con-
verted into the general Treasury. in COM
pliance with the law which provides that

or checks. issued by the treasurer or
