    Viz. all the state gallies, and the naval and military stores, at their discretion, only reserving enough
for the use of the militia; likewise all the saltpetre, saltpans, kettles, and other utensils for manufacturing
salt, or saltpetre; also such of the horses, waggons, harness, and geers, as they shall think proper.
    They are empowered, likewise, to pay off and discharge the officers, mariners and marines, the two
quarter-masters, the surgeon, the paymaster, and the manager of the state tanyard, which yard they may either
sell or appoint a person to carry on, under their control.  They are requested to incorporate the
matrosses, now in service of the state, with those sent from it to the army, to be on the same footing
with respect to pay, &c. and they are further requested to appoint persons to take care of such cannon

                                            CHAP. XXIX.
    An ACT to appoint commissioners to state and settle the public accounts.

    These commissioners, being three in number, had most extraordinary powers and duties.  They were
to examine the accounts and proceedings of the auditors-general, commissaries, commissioners of the
loan-office, and quarter-master; to call on the executive for the proceedings of the council of safety,
and of the late governor and council; to call to account the commissioners and collectors of the tax, and
all persons generally, to whom money had been advanced, before the appointment of the present executive;
to send for persons, papers, and records; to inquire into all public contracts for manufactures;
to cause suits to be brought for breach thereof, or, with the approbation of the executive, to compromise
them; to order suits for all balances appearing due, after giving notice to the debtors; and, lastly, to
report their proceedings to the next general assembly.  Any two might execute these powers.  They
might likewise appoint a clerk and door-keeper.  And all sheriffs, and other officers, were bound, under
the penalty of £. 500, to obey their orders.  However, the duration of this act was limited to the first
day of November, &c. beyond which it was not continued.

                                            CHAP. XXX.
