been chief clerk in the Office for
many years, receives a salary of
s250O a year. The report shows
that during the two years there have
been 81 clerks and extra clerks. all
of them not being employed all the
time, at salaries ranging from $50
to $50 month.
General Benson gives the clerk
salary list for each month Of the two
years. In his report he says:
The system of payment of all sal
aries in this department is the same
as all other disbursements of State
funds, and they are handled by
vouchers through the state audi
tors department. All bills are made
in triplicate; one to the State audi
tor, one to the state Treasurer and
one for the Secretary Of States files.
1T has been the custom to utilize
the Secretary of states contingent
fund in some instances to liquidate
claims against the state Board of
Supplies fund when the claims are
within the law as applicable to eth
er or both funds, provided, however.
no salaries are paid from the State
Board of Supplies fund.
This procedure is used only when
a shortage OF funds occurs in either
the State Board of Supplies or the
Secretary Of States contingent fund.
These funds interlock. and are set
up in the appropriation bill in
order that the various State De
partments may function properly
and promptly. You will find upon
examining the reports for the
years. 1921 and 1922. there was an
increase made in the salaries paid
the office force due TO the additional
work and efficiency by long service,
and If not increased, additional
help would have been required.
Il would like to call attention TO
the typlsts of this department. Their
work is almost exclusively OF a legal
nature. as it must be absolutely ac-
,urate. In the year 1922. certified
,opies were made that brought the
