STRAY DOLLAR GETS A HOME.
Census Bureau Sends It to Treasury
Conscience Fund.

The conscience fund OF the United
States Treasury has become the repos-
itory of a one dollar bill that has been
knocking about the census Office for a
year or more without any other visible
destination, and that destination over
looked until now. The money, contained
in an envelope postmarked Washington
and addressed merely to the census bu-
reau. was accompanied by no script or
communication to indicate what 1t meant
or whether 1t represented restitution or
payment of just debt or anything else.
The census bureau officials apparently
did not know what to do with the money,
as it remained in their custody for these
many days. To get rid of it rather than
for any definite idea that the conscience
fund was the place for it the census bu-
reau passed it on to the Treasury De-
partment, where it was decided that the
conscience fund was the only available
place for it.
