Albany, May 31.-Controller Wemple's reasons for

that many of them are not valid against the State
Section a. article 49, of the Constftuticn under which

of the kind that have been presented for payment
The intention of the law in this respect Is, he
thinks simply to provide for the expenses of nvesti

in New-York against city officials. Nothing
should be allowed for the services Of any salaried
official I'm such cases as services therein would be
only part of the work legally required Of them by

arc extraordinary, II not extravagant
The acts of the Legislature appropriating money to
