JNITED STATES in CONGRESS assem
bled. May 22d,- 17.88-.
TH E Committee confiftiing of Mr. Dane,
Mr. Williamson, Mr. Irvine, Mr
Hamilton, and Mr. Blown, to whom was re
jferred a Motion of Mr. Dane, relative to
Jpublic and unsettled accounts, having report
ed,
That, on carefully examining the fubjef
referred to them, they find that during the j
late war, and efpecialiy in the early period- ■
jf it, many millions of dollars were advanced
by the United States to sundry persons, of tht
expenditures whereof proper accounts havcj
riot been rendered ; and though the person
who have been entrufled with public monies
iave been frequently called upon to fettle
heir accounts by the ads and officers of
L’ongrefs, yet in many cases they have not
produced or exhibited to the proper officers
my documents or vouchers on which regulai
ettlements can be, made.—That several ac
counts of very considerable extent have been .
r aken up, and so far palled on, that balance?
tppear to be Hated generally, and in some
cases payments made though it does not ap- <
pear that the proper flatements were made ol \
the articles which composed thole accounts,J
or that the regular vouchers were produced to'
support the charges in them. Accounts thus
imperfectly Hated and mifupported, the com
mittee conceive are juflly liable to revition;
and particularly so, as it does not appear that
.he parties have at any time considered them
as being finally fettled. —That from a general
view of this iufcyed, the Committee are in
duced to think and believe, that the United
crates have already fuffered very great incon*-
veniencies, by inexcusable negligence and
unauthorifed delays, in peifons entrufled with
public monies, in not rendering and fe tling
heir accounts; and that it is become highly
expedient, that decifiv-e measures be speedily
adopted for clofin*f%ll the unsettled accounts
of the late war—and therefore the Committee
are cf opinion, That the Board' of Treasury
be direfted, to caufefuits to be commenced,!
in behalf of the United States, againtt all per-)
Tons 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 those persons who!
have been already specially required to fettle
their accounts by the proper officers, and who’
ihall not within that time adopt and' pursue
measures effectual, in the opinion of the said!
Board, for fettling the fame ; and within five
months from this date, against all other per
sons so charged, and who ftiall not within
that time adopt and pursue like measures:
and, that when any material questions ihall
arise concerning any doubtful or partial fcttle
ments of accounts which may have been
made, or concerning the operation of any
particular suits, the said Board be diretfed to
state to Congress, particularly tbe circum
' stances of the case, with their opinion there
on.'
i Rffcfo-cJ, That Congress agree to the said
Report. •
