terly" to the State treasurer as is re-
flUiFed by law, same being held, in"some
instances, considerable time after the
expiration of the several quarters.
Your committee begs to report that,
as the report OF receipts and disburse-
nients will show, hereto appended, the
secretary Of state has deposited in
bank several hundred dollars in excess
: of the amounts shown by his books or
evidenced by proper vouchers in his
Office, as having been collected for fees.
In this amount, no doubt, is included
some of these excess collections sent
by mistake by different parties
throughout the State and which do not
belong to the State, but should be re-
funded to the proper parties when the
charters were issued.
We found by mere chance that one
item o. S102.50 for charter of the Union
Warehouse company of Columbia, char
tered on the 18th day OF January, 1902,
during Mr.. Cooper's administration,
