had to be returned to the parties for correction, often more
than once. The Oyster and other laws of the same Session
also imposed new and additional duties.
By reason of this large increase of business, the regular
clerical force is insufficient. I respectfully request, therefore,
that express authority he granted for the temporary employ-
ment of such additional assistance as may be found necessary.
There is no provision in the Act of 1864, chapter 15, which
requires the County Commissioners or City Register to account
for the money placed In their hands for the payment of boun-
ties, although they are expressly held responsible for any
misapplication of the fund. Some legislation is necessary to
secure a full report of their proceedings and a prompt return
to the Treasury of the balance in their hands.
The receipts into the ‘l’reasury during the year ending the
30th of September, 1866, as estimated in Statement ‘‘C,’’
will probably amcunt to $2,243,000. The probable disburse-
ments are estimated in Statement " D" at $3,025,000, and,
as it is supposed, will exceed the receipts by the sum of
$782,000.
The principal item in the estimate of disbursements, is the
sum of $1,250,000 for bounties. This estimate is based on
the certified rolls on file in this Office, and, assuming that
nearly all the outstanding claims to bounty will be presented
during the year, is not thought too high. rolls indicate
that the total unliquidated liabilities of the State, on this ac-
count, at the close of the fiscal year, were as follows.
For final bounty to White Volunteers, under
Act of 1864, and supplements, averaged at
$65 $158,07500
Full bounty to 246 Free Colored Volunteers,
at $300 73,80000
Full bounty to 725, (Free or Slave,) averaged
at $250 181,25000
Full bounty to 2059 former Slaves, at $100, 205,900 00
Final bounty to 2379 Colored Volunteers, at
$50 118,95000
Owners’ claims, 611, at $100 61,10000
$799,07500
State Bounty Commissioners’ drafts, per ch.
33, of 1865 417,30000
For Volunteers under both Acts, on rolls not
yet returned, estimated at 233,62500

Total amount of bounty claims due and un
paid on 30th Sept. 1865 $1,450,000 00
