Rules were established to provide quarterly communications between the treasurer and auditor and the treasurer was required to audit the accounts of the auditor's office. In 1854, the treasurer was made the ex officio sealer of weights and measures. The Oregon Constitution, ratified in 1857, did not specifically change the treasurer's duties. It did, however, require the state to operate with a balanced annual budget. The treasurer was prohibited from making expenditures unless the treasury had adequate funds.
