MacVeagh Silent on Bond Question
Treasury chief nominee may face bond issue decisions but old officials doubt imminent action. With a 66 million dollar working balance and rising customs receipts, MacVeagh is not expected to push bonds before mid summer. The act allows one year certificates up to 100 million and canal bonds at 2 percent, while construction bonds total 136 million authorized with 70.5 million already issued leaving 54.5 million available. Officials favor treasury certificates over canal bonds for public need.
