TH E Committee confiftiing of Mr. Dane,
Mr. Williandon, Mr. Irvine, Mr.
| Hamilton, and Mr. brown, to whom was re-j
1 ferred a Motion of Mr. Dane, relative to 1
I public and unftttied accounts, having icport
jed,
That, on carefully examining the fuhjeft
[referred to them, they that during the
late war, and el'pecialiy in the eatly periods
of it, many millions ol dollars were advanced
by the Umied States to luadry perfous, of the
expenditures whereof proper accounts have
uot been rendered ; a”d though the perfon**
who have been entn ftbd with public monies
i have been frequently tailed upon to fettle
their accounts by the afts and officers of
.Cougrcfs, yet in many cases they have not
produced or exhibited to the proper o.'ncers
any documents or vouchers on wh.clr regular
iettlemems can be made.—That fcvcral ac
counts of very conlidcrable extent have been
taken up, and so far paded on, that balances
appear to be Hated generally, and in fomc
cafeo payments made, though it does not ap
pear that the proper flatemeuts were niwde of
the articles which composed thole accounts,
or that the regular vouchers weie proju'ced to
support the charges in them.* Accounts thus
imperfectly Hated and mifupportcd, the colr.-
auttee conceive are jaftly liable to revision ; i
and particularly so, as it does not appear that;
the parties have at any time considered them
as being dually fettled.—That from a general
view of this fubjed, the Committee are in
duced to think and believe, that the United
6 ates have already fullered very great iucon
/eniencies, by inexcufable 1 negligence and
unauthorifed delays, in perfous eutrufted with
public monies,, in not rendering and fettling
their accounts; and that it is become highly
expedient, that- decisive measures be fpeediiv
adopted for doling all the unl’ettled accounts
of the late war—and therefore the Committee
are of opinion, That the Board of Treasury
be direded, to caule suits to be commenced,
in behalf of the United States, againfl. all per
sons who Hand charged with public mon.e>
or other property ; and that they eaufe 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
shall not within that time adopt and purfue'
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 ihall not within
that time adopt and pursue like measures :
and, that when any material queftious ihall
arise concerning any doubtful or partial settle
ments of accounts which may have been
made, or concerning the operation of any
particular suits, the said Board be directed, to
state to Congrefc, particularly the circuiu
ftances cf the caie, with their opinion there
on.
Resolved , That Congrcfs agree to the said
Report.
