Joint Standing Comm. on State Lands and State Roads. Report, 1858

|
Thirty-seventh Legislature. Senate. No. 19 On February 19, 1858, the Joint Standing Committee on State Lands and State Roads submitted a report.
The Committee had learned that when a land agent retired, it was common for him to personally retain a portion of the his office's final deposit made
to the state. [A golden handshake?] The Committee thought that was wrong; they did not like his bookkeeping and his submissions for extra pay. They
thought state accounting in general was confused and liable to abuse. The group submitted several examples and offered a bill. An Act to establish
the office of Auditor of Accounts, 1858. The person would be elected by the Legislature, be bonded, and have a one year term. He would examine all
accounts except those of the Governor's Council and the Legislature. He would examine all invoices and notify the Governor when there were funds to
fulfill a warrant. He would countersign Treasury receipts. He would report to the Legislature every February. His salary was left blank. (Digitized
