have been assumed by the War Department;

date Of rendezvous and date of muster, is
under adviSenent
The amount of Allotment Fund paid into
the Treasury1by pay-agents, during the year,
was 1921 400 46. Nearly halt a million
has been added since the 18th OF November
and additional amounts are on the way,
which will swell the amount to about three
millions. One item which has sweled this
amount is the large payments to substitutes
and local bountles to recruits, which were
not paid to the men until mustered in here,
and forwarded to their regiments The
amount collected at the barracks in this city
on this account, has nearly cqualcd the whole
amount Of collections last year
Owing to the constant moving of the ar
mles during, the summer campaign, it was
lmpracticable to pay the troops. The pay
ments were crowded into the fall months, and
the pay agents were hard pressed in making
collections; and, in many cases, seriously,
and, In some, dangerously delayed in max
ing their retnrns. The amount of this fund
In the Treasury on the 18th November, was
$753S6 "a; of this, the sum of $5S0.57I-
80 was paid in between the lst and 18th
November; $lG9,S S93 80 was paid in during
the month of October, and the balance dur
ing, the month Of September.
The State Treasurer makes some supges-
tions in his report, in regard to the trans
mission Of this fund to the counties, which |
recommend to your early attention. In
many cases the amount allotted to county
Is IN excess OF the State revenues in the |
hands of the County Treasurer. There ir
no provision for payment of express charges
in renlitting funds, or the expenses of the
County Treasursrs in coming to the Treasu-
ry for it. This is a sacred fund, and should |
not be held an hour after it can be transmit
ted to the parties entitled to receive it.
The Auditor and Treasurer of State beinr
members Of the Board of Canvassers. q
large portion of their time since the Octo-
Der election, has been directed to this duty.
As consequence, | have not been able with
the exec ption of the tabular statements, to
receive and examine their reports. The
Auditor, L presume, will give you full in
formation in regard to the working of the
revenue laws, and suggest such changes as
lrc requisite. From its acquaintance with 4
the subject and experience in the opera
lions Of the laws, nave po doubt hi. ,n~.
