Your Excellency'S letter of 18th October last
for the purpose of investigating the different
branches of Administration with a view Of ascer-
tanning the items of expenditure in which a re
duction might be effected without injury to the
public interests, and report the results Of their
inquiries, beg leave most respectfully to submit
the following opinions and suggestions at which
they have arrived after a careful and ~COnsCien-
tious examination of the subject,
In performing the task entrusted to us, we
consider it most natural to examine the differ
emit items Of the public expenditure in the order
in which they are pIacedi in the Budget for 1863
90, and we shall now take the liberty to state
our views on them by referring to such Of them
as in our opinion afford an opportunity for i'm
proVement under their classification on the
Budget.
ad H. 4. We are of opinion that the amount
charged under this head might be saved, only
excepting the charge for the Revision of the
public accounts, and although we are fully
aware of the advantage of having the accounts
revised in the Mothercountry instead of in the
Colony, we must at the same time declare, that
it would be better to forego this advantage,
unless a material reduction of the present cnorm-
0usIy disproportionate expenditure could be OBJ
tanned.

In connection with this proposal we beg
leave to offer the following observations and
suggestions, serving to facilitate the execution
Of the arrangement:
l, The whole existing system of special as
Signments for all payments by the Treasurer
occasions an amount of labor, which might be
considerably diminished by issuing standing
orders to him every sixth month authOrising all
payments of regular recurrence, such as sala-
ries and others, Of course liable to be counter
manded as unforeseen cases as deaths and other
events occur; in such case the Treasurer should
have printed blank receipts to be signed by the
receivers of the payment, and to serve as
vouchers to the monthly accounts.
3, All payments to the Colonial Treasury
intended to,be refunded by the State Treasury
in Copenhagen should be made receivable on
certain days, twice a month only.
3, Since the separation of the finances of the
colony from those of the motherconntry there
exists no longer any necessity for transmitting
monthly extracts of the Cash-JOurnal to Den
mark, and we deem it sufficient for all practical
purposes, that the Cash Accounts with accompa-
nying vouchers be forwarded once a year for
revision.
The TreaSurer'S office transmits a monthly
extract of the Cash-BOok besides an annual
Cash Account with vouchers. This double
amount of labor connected with one and the
same account seems unnecessary, wherefore we
would propose, as done concerning the Book
keepers office, that the monthly extracts be
done away with. We would propose, that the
monthly extracts and statements, if at all ne
cessary, be sent home at the expiration of the
year together with the Cash-BOOk.
4, Several of the rubrics in the Matricul may
he made into one. SuCh as the buiIdin0-and
new-tax levied on the measurement of property,
the house-tax levied on the annual revenue of
property.
5, The proportion of each of the communities
to the common military expenses is now calcu

the two departments is such as to render their
junction unadyisable. The only objection, as it
appears to US, which might be raised against
such an arrangement would be the control now
exercised over the Treasurer by the rule of
noting all receipts by the latter and having
them entered on the books of the BooEkeeper
but we believe this object could be attained
without much difficulty, if the receipts were to
be atteSted by one of the two clerks in the GOV
ernment-ofice and entered in duly authorised
protocol kept for that purpose.
The officials now employed in the two depart
ments, and the expenditure are as follows, viz
