UNITED STATES in CONGRESS affem
bied. May 2*d, 1788.
TH E Committee conliftiing of Mr. Dane,
Mr. Williamson, Mr. Irvine, Mr*
Hamilton, and Mr. Brown, to whom was re
ferred a Motion of Mr. Dane, relative to
public and uafettled accounts, having report
ed.
That, on carefully examining the fubjeft
referred to them, they hud that during the
late war, and especially in the early periods
gs it, many millions of dollars wereadvauced
by the United States to sundry persons, of the
expenditures whereof proper accounts have
uot been rendered; and though the persons
who have been entrusted with public monies
have been frequently called upon to feule
their accounts by the aft* and officers of
Congress, yet in many cases they have not
produced or exhibited to the proper officers
any documents or vouchers on which regular
Settlements can be made.—That several ac
counts of very conffderable Extent have been
taken up, and so far palled on, that balauccs
appear (0 be Hated generally, and in some
cases payments made, though it does not ap
pear that the proper statements were made of
the articles which composed thole accounts,
or that the regular vouchers Wtire produced to
support the charges in them. Accounts thus
impcrfeftly Hated and unsupported, the com
mittee conceive are justly liable to reviffou ;
aud particularly so, as it does not appear that
the parties have at an y time confidercd them
*9 being finally fettled.—That from a general
view of this fubjeft, the Committee are in
duced to think and believe, that the United
States have already fullered very great incon
veniencics, by iucxcufable negligence and
unauthorifed delays, in persons entrui'ted with
public monies, in not rendering and fettling
their accounts; and that it is become highly
expedient, that decifivc measures be speedily
adopted for doling ail the unsettled accouuts
of the late war—aud therefore the Committee
are of opinion, That the Board of Treasury
be direfted, to caufc suits to be commenced,
in behalf of th* United States, agaiuft all per
sons who Hand charged with public monies
or other property; and that they cause the
fame to be commenced within three months
from this date, against all thole persons who
have been already specially required to fettle
their accounts by tho proper officers, and who
(hail not within that time adopt and pursue
measures effectual, in the opiuion of the said
Board, for fettling the fame; and within five
months from this date, againtt all other per
sons so charged, and who (hall not within
that time adopt and pursue like measures:
and, that when any material quefrions (bail
arise concerning any doubtful or partial fettle
menta of accounts w»hich may have been
made, or concerning the operation of any
pasticuiat ftiita, the said Board be direfted to
Hate to Congress, particularly the circum
flances of the case, with their opiuion there
on.
Replied, That Congress agree to the said
Report*
