CLERICAL ALLOWANCE.
Until the insurance business was re-
moved from this office the Secretary Of
State, under Section 1925 of The Code,
had 1000 per annum for clerical assis-
tanee, $1,000 given absolutely for clerk,
and 81 900 for second clerk or for extra
clerical assistance contingent upon the
fees collected and paid over to the Treas
urer. While the fees arising from copies
of records have been as great in the
last few years as at any time before in
recent years, yet since the establishment
Of the Insurance Department the fees
collected by this office and paid to the
Treasurer do not amount to $1,000
year, and the clerical allowance of the
office is consequently lessened. When the
Secretary of State was also acting In
surance Commissioner the license fees
of insurance companies were considered
as fees, and so the fees paid into the
Treasury amounted annually to $25, goo
and more They are now not likely to
exceed $500, except in legislative years.
| presume that ii was not the intention
of the General Assembly Of 1899 to lessen
the clerical allowance of the Secretary
Of State. but upon the ruling of the
Auditor such has been the effect. This
Department still needs all the clerical
force heretofore allowed. | suggest that
the General Assembly should amend the
section CT The Code above stated, so as
to allow the Secretary of State absolutely.
Independent of the fees collected and
paid TO the Treasurer. the sum of 81, 900
per annum for extra clerical assistance,
AMI that he be given an additional $500

in which the General Assembly meets
in regular session.
