ment, almost double the amount Of work OF
former years was disposed of in 1903, strong
testimonial to the efficiency of State Treasurer

Besides the natural percentages of increase
the bulk of the additional work was caused BY
the change In the system of accounting. Form
erly appropriations were paid to the regents Of
the normal schools and Of the university and the
board of control in lump sum and BY them
disbursed to the individuals. However at the
last session the law was changed so that now
for each item a separate warrant is drawn on
the treasury and the treasurer makes payment
by draft to the individual. -
Thirty-two thousand drafts were drawn and
issued In the past year and four entries are
necessary for each draft before it is ready to
be sent out. 1t is estimated that during 1904
$4,000 drafts will be required to carry on the
business Of the state. - = -
