The treasurer's salary the first year was $2000, for the second and third years $1500 each, he paying all his ex penses the fourth year, in consequence of the great ih crease of labor arising from the negotiation of foreign ex change, and the management of the sinking fund, he has received a salary of $1200; pay for clerk hire, $1100; office rent, $250; and as commissioner of sinking fund, $250; making a total of $2800.
