The 1922 series Of so gold certifi-
Gates bears the likeness Of Michael Hill
legas, the first treasurer Of the United
States. The germ Of the Treasury de-
partment was planted on July 20. l775.
when the Continental congress appoint
ed two treasurers The appointments
were Hillegas and George Clymer. The
latter soon resigned TO accept his seat
as delegate TO the congress. Hiuegas
discharged the duties of treasurer un-
I'll September l, 1880.
The Treasury department was or
gained under an act of September .
1879. Strictly speaking, 1t was reor-
gained for the department, under
various names had been in existence
since 1915. The Constitution went in
to effect March 4 1899, Washington
was inaugurated as the first President
Of the United States April 30, 1850 II
will thus be seen that Hillegas was
treasurer many months after the in
auguration Of Washington. and for
nine days after the Treasury depart
ment was organized under the Consti-
