It should be noted that, in regard to the last two items of expenditure in this classification, amounting to $324,005.83, the function of the Board is simply to ascertain whether the persons to whom payment is made are properly chargeable to the State, and also whether the charges are within the amount fixed by law; and that it is only the remaining expenses, amounting to $242,652.43, which are actually within the Board's control.

Under the law authorizing advances to the disbursing officer of the State Board of Lunacy and Charity, the Clerk has

received from the State Treasurer during the past official year, and advanced from time to time, to visitors and other agents of the Board, for travelling, transportation, and other necessary expenses, the sum of $32,015.00, all of which has been accounted for in detail to the State Auditor, as a part of the Board's audit.

It is to be added that the Board has received, during the year, in the way of repayment from sundry towns and individuals, as follows:

[blocks in formation]

From the United States for reimbursement of immi-
gration expenses,

From certain Steamship Companies for the support
of alien immigrants,

Making a total of,

$7.00 621 50

$2,556 84

915 62

$4,100 96

This has been transmitted to the Treasurer of the Commonwealth, and should be credited to the Board's account, although not available for its use.
