After the month of August next it may be presumed, that a principal part of the above, expence will cease, and there is already a reduction in the annual expence of this office, in the last year, of about three thousand and five hundred dollars; it is therefore probable that the above sum of 6,888 dollars will include the salaries and expences of this office for the current year.
