shall have, for convenience. been re-
ceived by the register of will. Instead
of turning these credits over to the
marshal. the register of wills has de-
posted them in the United States

1t becomes merely matter of book
keeping, for as the controller of the
Treasury comments, AL such fees
which may have been paid into the
Treasury have reached their proper
destination. though not exactly in the
manner prescribed by law
Controller w. w. Warwick directs
that the register of wills give to the

that these fees have been paid into the
Treasury, so that the marshal may
properly adjust his records and ac-
counts. AS to what has been done, Con-
