MacVeagh Explains.

"The only problem presented by the
serted, sis that of so directing and
distributing the daily treasury receipts
that they Will meet the disbursing of
fcers' checks in the depository banks.
To accomplish this. it has been neces-
sary to reduce the balances Of a num-
Der of the depositary banks. and to
add depositary banks in each of the
sub-treasury cities. This readjustment
has resulted in additional deposits be-
ing made to the extent only Of $780,
900.
Nearly three-6fths of the govern
ment's payments are required to be
made in New York. That the gov
ernment may have facilities to make
these larger payments through the
banks in New York, the increased bal
aDces in that city aggregate S2,0SS,000

to examine the books of the corpora
tion and TO take any methods he deems
