Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Controller of County Accounts, Vol. 29: February, 1889 In compliance with chapter 438 of the Acts of 1887, as amended by chapter 275 of the Acts of 1888, I have the Xhonor to submit my second annual report, being a compila Jtion of the material parts of the returns of county ofBcers, clerks of courts and trial justices, in tabular form, with such facts and explanations and such suggestions and recommendations as in my judgment will tend to a simple, uniform and economical method of accounting for public funds. For want of the authority given in the last Act above named, my first report was a mere compilation of tables, without suggestions or recommendations. As the office is a new one, in name at least, covering a field much of which has been hitherto unexplored, a report of its operations for the year and a half of its existence would seem to be called for, in order that its utility or uselessness may be demonstrated. The Act establishing the office was approved June 16, 1887, and my appointment followed on the twenty-third day of the same month. The duties prescribed are identical with those imposed upon the Commissioners of Savings Banks by section 37 of chapter 23 of the Public Statutes: except that the present law excludes the treasury of Sufr) folk County, and includes all the inferior courts and trial justices. The municipal, district and police courts, having no clerks, and trial justices, have not heretofore been subject to any public supervision. From this latter fact, the accounts of the justices and clerks of the inferior courts, and of the trial justices, first engaged attention.
