No Fund for Slaves Warns Treasury Chief
The treasury announced that there is no $68,090,000 fund or any sum in the U S treasury for ex slaves heirs or others who labored in the southern fields. A suit in the Supreme Court of the District seeks to recover such an amount from 1869 onward from a future revenue tax on cotton. The treasury says government collection rights were settled years ago and compensation would have been claimed against masters if due. An aerial cableway project in Northern India aims to ease travel in difficult terrain.
