An Act Providing for the Adjustment of Charges Made by the Bureau of Prisons against the Several Provinces and the City of Manila for the Maintenance of Prisoners
Act No. 1742, enacted on October 3, 1907, authorizes the Director of Prisons to cancel all pending charges for the maintenance of provincial and Manila prisoners as of June 30, 1907. However, the cancellation for Manila is contingent upon the city's waiver of its claims against the Insular Government related to transferred properties. The Insular Auditor is tasked with adjusting payments made by the provinces or the city for prisoner maintenance after July 1, 1907. The Act emphasizes the urgency of its passage for public benefit and takes effect immediately upon enactment.
