Bills, probability
of

Above one half of the expences of the last
year 1797 appear to have been occasioned by
an excess to that amount beyond to that amount over and above the usual
amount of Bills drawn from the Colony. By way of To account
for this excess, a remark that occurrs in the Treasury Return is that the greater part
of the Bills drawn in the several years 1793
1795 and 1796 were not presented at the Treasury
until this last Year 1797. It seems very extraordinary
That Bills drawn in 1795 and even
in 1793 should not be presented till 1797 seems extraordinary enough. An
observation that naturally presents itself is, that if the
year 1797 is thus loaded with Bills of 2 years
and four 4 years standing, so may 1798 and
every succeeding year. This is among the inconveniences
attending such distant establishments:
it is difficult to check this head the
greater the distance, the greater the difficulty of
auditing and checking the expence, as well as of while
at the same time it is almost perhaps impossible to disallow
the practice no reasons are given for supposing
that the expence of future years under this head
will be less than the expence in this last year.
But on the face of the account these reasons are
not wanting for apprehending it will be greater.
The scantiness of the supply from hence seems
to be a natural forerunner of a correspondent abundance
in the amount of Bills from succeeding
Years
