correct that on the first vote this Executive Committee
entertained on the office of Comptroller in the Constitu-
tion, the vote was 10 in favor, 9 opposed, and one
abstaining?
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Sybert.
DELEGATE 'SYBERT: I am not certain about that,
Delegate Dorsey. It was 10 and 10, and then it became 11
and 9; but you are possibly correct.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Dorsey, do you have
a further question?
DELEGATE DORSEY: No, sir, but I think the
records of the Committee will speak as to that, and I
think it will verify what I asked Judge Sybert. On the
original vote it was 10 to retain the office of the Comp-
troller in the Constitution, 9 against, and one abstaining.
THE CHAIRMAN: Delegate Grant.
DELEGATE GRANT: Delegate Sybert, Delegate
Adkins referred to the fact that a number of the States
have a chief fiscal officer. In general terms, do the
duties of the chief fiscal officers in these other States
approximate the duties of the Comptroller in Maryland?
