ARCHIVIST OF THE HALL OF RECORDS 45

inspect the completed film in the remaining eighteen counties and
Baltimore City.

As in the past, we worked closely with the Department of Budget
and Procurement on requests from State agencies for the purchase or
rental of record equipment and services. These cooperative efforts
resulted in considerable savings to the State: first, by ensuring that as
records are moved out of high-cost space and filing equipment into the
Centers or are destroyed, the equipment released is utilized before
new equipment is purchased; and second, by determining that the equip-
ment or service requested is appropriate for the purpose intended.
We also continued to advise the Comptroller of the Treasury, when
requested, on the expenditure of funds for record equipment, supplies,
and services for the Clerks of Court and the Registers of Wills of the
counties and Baltimore City. This year, the Archivist or the Assistant
Records Administrator reviewed requests from twenty-five officers of
eighteen counties and Baltimore City. Among the items requested
were microfilm and photostat cameras, microfilm readers, quick-copy
machines, roller shelves and plat cabinets, the purchase of new and the
repair of old indexes, and the rebinding and re-covering of record
books. The amount requested for these expenditures totals $77,980.

Management Division may be found below.
