SLR-The Joint Committee appointed on the
part of the Senate and Assembly 10 examine
the offices of the Comptroller and Treasurer OF
the State Of Florida, beg leave to make the fol
lowing report, to.wit:
We find that the Hon. Columbus Drew,
Comptroller for the years 1879 and 1880, issued
the following amount in warrants %424, 1.96,
for which we find the vouchers duly filed in
said Office. We find that the several accounts
are properly entered and correspond The re-
ports of the various County Clerks. Sheriff..
Tax Collectors and Assessors are properly kept
and respectively correspond with each other.
We also 6ud the Abstract Book, in which are
kept and entered the sale and redemption of
lands properly and correctly kept, and oil entries
are made according to law, and ia accordance
with joint resolution of both houses we have
destroyed in this Office by burning as fnllows;

Office are worthless and too small for the de-

books and records are without the proper pro-
lection that they ought to have, and we re-
spectfully recommend the sale OF the present
old safes in this Office and the pnrchase OF one
