There is no satisfactory reason for this sudden increase of nearly $20, 000 in the alleged expenditures of that year over the one next preceding it. In 1875 the amount of fees received was $51, 718. 50, and perhaps under a salutary fear of the direction of public attention, or in pursuance; 11 of the rule of spending all the money that came under his control, the expenditures reported by the commissioner were $51, 440. 29. Includ- ing the balance due for the previous year. An analysis of the ex...penditures of the commissioner shows that to a most serious extent they were made for his personal ends and in gross violation of the law. The act provides that he may " engage a clerk or clerks to assist him and to act as deputies at his own proper cost. " Regardless of this direction he engaged six clerks, at a salary of $1, 300 each ; eleven agents and others, at salaries amounting to $10, 660 ; a deputy, at $2, 400 ; and paid each of four of his own sons a salary of $2, 500. All these salaries were paid out of the fees, and in addition to his own salary of $5, 000, although, as has been already shown, he was only authorized to engage any clerks or deputy by paying the salary " at his own proper cost.
