No. 29.

Preamble and resolution in favor of the Clerk to the

Treasurer of the State.

Passed Feb.
26, 1846.

WHEREAS, the great increase of business which within
the last few years has been thrown upon the Treasury
will requite the services of a second clerk, or that the
present one, whose intimate acquaintance with, and un-
tiring devotion to the duties of his office strongly recom-
mend to the favorable notice of the legislature, should
often work at night. And as the salary now received by
the clerk is a very inadequate compensation for the ser-
vices performed by him and affords but a very scant sup-
port to his family, and may be increased to an amount
which would satisfy him without imposing any additional
charge on the Treasury, and be but a fair compensation
for services rendered in keeping the accounts of that
branch of revenue — therefore,
Resolved by the General Assembly of Maryland, That
the Treasurer be, and he hereby is required to pay an-
nually in quarterly payments to his clerk the sum of two
hundred and fifty dollars, out of the proceeds of the
States' tobacco inspection, as a further compensation for
his services, commencing; from the first January, eighteen
hundred and forty-six.
