Bond reforms favor public officer bonds and exam gaps
The Dockery commission backs a bonds system for public officers but notes no regular examination of bonds except military paymasters. Many bonds have remained unexamined for 10 to 15 years, with losses averaging a quarter of amounts due in the post office and about half elsewhere. Replacing personal bonds with company bonds could save at least $60,000 annually, per five-year loss averages.
