Auditor Says District
Is Due S108,948 as
Hospital Refund
Overpoid for Treatment
Of Freedmen's Patients,
Pilkerton Reports

District Auditor A. r. Pilkerton
today advised the Commissioners the
municipal government should re-
ceive refund of $i08 e48 for paw
ments it had made for patients
treated at Freedmen's Hospital, for
the last fiscal year.
Appropriation acts of Congress, in
changing the old $3.50 division of
costs, provided Tor IS d. C.-35
Federal apportionment on the basis
OF the ratio of patient day service
rendered, and also provided for ad-
Justment OF bills on this basis during
or after the end of fiscal wear
For the last fiscal year the appro-
priation was s707,005, but actual
disbursements were $685. in ad-
dition to which there were unpaid
bills of more than $50 900, Mr.. Pill
kerton said. Making his calculations
on the, oasis of actual experience, he
said it was found the District had
overpaid by sl08, 948, and that no
further adjustment would be neces-
sary if Congress appropriates such
a sum to the credit of the Municipal
Government.
He suggested the unpaid bills of
patients charged to the District be
turned over TO the District Collec-
tor of Taxes for collection.
Copies Of his report are being
sent by the Commissioners to the
Budget Bureau, the United States
Public Health Service, Freedmen's
Hospital and the General Account
