The Comptroller deems it unnecessary to give in this report a statement of the revenues received and the disbursements made, inasmuch as the records of the Secretary's office correspond with those of the Comptroller's, and the financial report will present the same figures and results as would be presented by this office.

The foregoing statement of the labor performed in the office shows that there has not been any reduction in its amount, and that it remains as large as in former years, and requires that the force should be continued.

I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
