Shipping Board Debt Discovery Costs and Book Risk
Martin J. Gillen testified before a Congressional committee that it cost the Shipping Board 800000 to learn the War Department owed 208000000 and that another equal amount will be needed to verify the account. He said lax recordkeeping allowed continued operation without extra funds as bills remained unsettled. He urged Congress not to grant more money until those debts are collected, calling the practice of writing checks against an appropriation “awfully easy.”
