TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Second Comptroller's Office, January 3, 1848. SIR: I have the honor to transmit, herewith, a statement containing the names of the clerks and other persons employed in this office during the year 1847, together with the time that each was actually employed, and the sums paid to each. The several persons mentioned in this statement have been usefully occupied, nor can the number be lessened without detriment to the public service. On the contrary, the great augmentation of accounts, especially of disbursing officers of the army, has recently made it my duty to apply for additional clerical force. The business, devolved by law upon this office during the past year, has been as promptly despatched as a faithful revision would permit; and I am not aware that the public interest requires the removal of any individuals, and the appointment of others in their stead. I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Hon. R. J. WALKER, Secretary of the Treasury. Comptroller. No. 2. Statement showing the names, compensation, residence, when appointed, and time employed, of the clerks and other persons in the office of the Second Comptroller of the Treasury, during the year 1847. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, First Auditor's Office, February 24, 1848. SIR: I have the honor to transmit, herewith, a statement exhibiting the names, compensation, and time employed, of the clerks and messenger in this office, during the year 1847; with such other particulars as are required by the 11th section of the act of August 26, 1842. I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient WM. COLLINS, Auditor. servant, McC. YOUNG, Esq., Acting Secretary of the Treasury. No. 3. Statement exhibiting the names, compensation, and time employed, of the clerks and messenger in the office of the First Auditor of the Treasury, during the year 1847, as required by the 11th section of the "act legalizing and making appropriations for such necessary objects as have been usually included in the general appropriation bills, without authority of law," approved August 26, 1842. WM. COLLINS, First Auditor. In connexion with the above it may be proper to remark, that the clerks in this office are efficient; that they have been usefully and diligently employed; and their services could not be dispensed with without detriment to the public service. TREASURY DEPARTMENT, Second Auditor's Office, February 23, 1848. SIR: I transmit, herewith, a statement of the clerks and other persons employed in this office during the year 1847, pursuant to the act of Congress approved August 26, 1842, and the resolution of the House of Representatives of January 13, 1846. By reference to my report to the Register of the Treasury, on the 30th day of September, 1847, you will perceive that, in my opinion, none of the clerks or other persons employed here can be dispensed with. I will add, that they have been usefully employed. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, McC. YOUNG, Esq., 2d Auditor. Acting Secretary of the Treasury. |
