S me time when the question of
the power of the Sure'arv of the Treas
ury to nee anv part ol the $100,CXsVWO

Solicitor-Ueneral Aldrich was instructed
by the Attorney-tieneral to look up the
matter. Aldr ch'i opinion in brief is:

This) opinion, while
a-kexi and prepared, was not delivered.
owing to the fact that the occasion did
not demand it. Aldrich aays: "The
belief that there is no positive provision
of law requiring $100,000,000 reserve

It is also true under tlie law, as 1 under-
