The depart- ment also has charge of hospitals for the use of seamen. Public Improvements. — Since 1853 there has been connected with the department an office for superintend- ing architecture. It supervises the erection of all buildings for the department, such as custom-houses, mints, assay offices, marine hospitals, and, in addition, post-offices and court-houses. Skilled engineers from the War Department are employed in this office. The improvement of rivers and harbors is also under this de...partment. Sub-Treasuries. — During the years from 1792 to 1812, and from 1816 to 1836, when there was a national bank, the Treasurer was required to deposit the funds with the bank. During President Jackson's adminis- tration the funds were distributed, without warrant of law, to certain state banks. By their failure in the great financial crisis of 1837, the treasury incurred loss. In 1840, a law was passed for keeping the funds without depositing in any bank, state or federal. It was pro- vided that sub-treasuries should be established in certain cities for the receiving and holding of funds, subject to the order of the Treasury Department at Washington.
