These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Century in the Comptroller's Office, State of New York, 1797 to 1897: Look inside the book: An office which has without scandal managed the financial affairs of this great State, and has otherwise borne a conspicuousPg 4 part in its government for a century; an office from the thirty incumbents of which have been chosen a Vice-President and a President of the United States, two United States Senators, four Governors of the State, one Chief Justice and one Chief Judge of its Court of Appeals-to say nothing of others who have achieved distinction in less conspicuous civil positions-would seem entitled to something more than a passing notice on its centennial anniversary. ...It provided 'that all officers, other than those who by this Constitution are directed to be otherwise appointed, shall be appointed in the manner following, to wit: The Assembly shall once in every year openly nominate and appoint one of the Senators from each great district' (then four in number), 'which Senators shall form a council for the appointment of officers, of which the Governor, for the time being, or the Lieutenant-Governor, or the President of the Senate (when they shall respectively administer the government), shall be president, and have a casting vote, but no other vote.' ...Chapter 21 of the Laws of 1797, which created the office of State Comptroller, provided, among other things, that 'all matters and things theretofore required to be done by the Auditor of the StatePg 8 should be done by the Comptroller, and that the salary and wages of all legislative, executive, judicial and ministerial officers of the government of this State, and all moneys directed by law to be paid to any other person, should be paid by the Treasurer on the warrant of the Comptroller;' that the Comptroller should keep an account between the State and the Treasurer; that he might lend out moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, and that when money was directed to be paid, and not sufficient money in the treasury to satisfy the same, he might 'in the name, and on behalf of the People of this State, borrow a sum sufficient for that purpose of a bank of New York, or bank of Albany.'
