REPORT OF THE COMPTROLLER.

COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE,
Tallahassee, Fla., January 1st, 1879.
To lis Excellency GEO. F. DREW, Governor :
SIl: I have the honor to report to you, under the law direct-
ing that reports shall be made to the Governor at the beginning
ot each regular session of the Legislature.
As part of this report there is submitted a. tabular state
ment shiiwing the gross and net amount of all State taxes
ass-essed ftri the vear 1878 in each of the counties ot the
State, the gross and net amount of all State taxes upon licenses,
iid the amount of auction taxes in each county in this State.
This sitatement will lie published il a newspaper in Tallalassee,
in accordance with the intent of section 1st of the act of Jann-
ary 24th, 1851.
In lieu of the requirement of section 2 of that act, directing
that the Comptroller publish an annual statement of balances
due )b neco)unting officers, a statement will be published in
a newslp:iper in Tallahassee in the tirst week in January, com-
prising Imore tully the directions of said section, and in accord-
ance with tI e intent of the same. This statement is published
in complliance with the terms of the act of February 21st, 1877,
and is included in this report.
In presenting below the statement of balances, I would call
attention to the fact that the list does not invariably show defal-
cations in the payment of moneys collected and not paid over.
Tle majority of the cases are the other way. In some the
amounts are balances still uncollected by the revenue officers, and
credits to which they will be entitled in adjusting their accounts.
Some of these are in the nature of injunctions from collection by
the courts, and from other causes stated in the body of this re-
port.
The act of February 21st, 1877, in directing the Comptroller
" in his annual reports to the Governor" to make a full statement
of all who are in default, could have only contemplated the
first to be made at the commencement of 1878 for the year 1877,

anil for successive years; consequently as defalcations, in the
sense o'f moneys collected and withheld from the State, cannot
always be positively ascertained by the experience of a single
year, and it is practically shown that there may be balance.
due under the operation of our present revenue laws, ever
in the first and second years of the term of new officers, without
defalcations of the kind named, it was therefore thought best to
meet the purpose of the law by giving the information thereby
required as nearly as possible, and placing the unsettled accounts
in suit as heenis to have been contemplated.
In reference to many of the Ibalances due by accounting offi-
cers, such as sheriffs, they have not been credited in some in-
stances with amounts 'to which they are entitled, because they
have omitted to obtain the certificate of the Judge of the Court,
as provided by law, of the insolvency of parties upon whom fines
have been imposed. This arises in some instances from igno-
rance of the law, and in other cases from neglect. So also as to
collectors of revenue who have been long in arrears. Their ac-
counts have remained unsettled through successive changes of
officers, eithe. by a tfilure to take proper receipts from succes-
sors, on transferring the tax books, for amounts of uncollected
taxes, s ) that each could lie credited and debited accordingly;
from nte ijilure to get proper certificates from the county com-
missioner.- of legal allowances upon which they could be credi-
ted ; or Irom allowing books and settlements to get into such
contusioin that with the lapse of time adjustments were ex-
tremely difficult, and criminal defalcations not easy to ascertain.
In the de l:y causedd by such difficulties in some instances bond,
have iJecome worthless, and the project of realizing countss
due the State slight when li tual defilcations are ascertained.
In compliance with the requirement of the act of 21st of Feb-
ruary, 1877, the accounts of ancotunting, officers in commission
previous Io that year halve been, after great labor, made ou
carefully, and an effort is now pending to settle them either di-
rectly with the parties or through bondmien, or by suit.
It may be proper here to suggest to the Legislature the consid-
eration of the propriety ot authorizing the Comptroller, for a lim-
ited period. t( settle accounts without pressing them to judg-
trent, in such cases as l(e may think such a course would pro-
#note the interest of the State. Such a law is in existence as tt,
aucounts prior to 1870, but it is not applicable to those which
have accrued since that tinme. y tle care which the the Attorney-
General has given in the examination of bonds before approval,
and the effort of the C'omiptroller to have accounts settled a.
ti:ar the periods fixed by law as possible it is believed the ac-
counts of present officers will not fill In arrears, as heretofore.
It i.; ; splect'fullv suggested that the date oh the fiscal year be

changed to begin on the 1st of July. This would allow a bet-
ter opportunity of making out reports of the offices, and would
more explicitly exhibit, the revenue accounts up to thefirst Mon-
day in February preceding, at which date the final settlements
of Collectors are required to be made.
BONDEII) DEBT.
Of the $1,000,000 of bonds authorized to be issued by the
act of February 1, 1573, there remained unissued on the 1st
March last, the date of last annual report from this office,
*$7,900.00. Since then there have been exchanged for Con-
vention Bonds, with .-500 accrued interest on them, $1,900,
leaving now on hand of these bonds, $75,000, viz., Nos. 2,951
to 3,700, of $100 each.
The bonded debt of the State now stands as follows:
7 per cent. Bonds of 1871 .............................. .. 350,000 00
6 per cent. Bonds of 1873 .............................. 923,000 00
8 per cent. Convention Bonds....................... 1,500 0(
7 per cent. Bonds of 1857................... .... 4,000 00 8,500 00
Interest to January 1, 1879 .................. 4,200 00- $8,200 00
$1,284,700 00
Deduct Bonds in Sinking Funds.......................... 143,900 0)
$1,149,800 0)
Which is an increase of $500, by funding that amount of inter-
est in Convention Bonds exchanged for, and a decrease of
$13,200 by that addition to the Sinking Funds.
The $132,000 of 7 per cent. bonds of 1857, mentioned in last
report as held by the Indian Trust Fund, are still in that po-
sition, with interest accrued up to January 1, 1879, 8156,520.00.
It is hoped and believed that the State's claim, growing out
of Indian hostilities, which is now in the course of preparation,
will more than offset this claim.
FLOATING DEBT.
There are now outstanding, of Comptroller's warrants and
Treasury certificates, exclusive of engraved warrants known as
greenback scrip, $10,905.04. Of the greenback warrants now
in circulation an accurate statement cannot be made. There is
now in the Treasury, uncanceled, *45,213, and there is known
to be in circulation (from the fact being registered) .1,258.
This data shows that there has been in circulation $31,228 in,
excess of the amount issued under the law, thus:
A Joint Committee of the Legislature, in 1872, reported the
cancellation and destruction of.......................... ......... $101,319 00

Deduct the amount issued ......................................... 250,000 00

M aking........................................... ...................... $31,228 00
In excess of the amount properly in circulation.
It will be impossible to ever determine the amount of this
scrip properly out, so long as it continues to be paid out and
received by the Treasurer, and I respectfully recommend that
its reissue, under any circumstances, be prohibited by law.

The total extwiene of Mai:ntemnance ot Luniatics for the past

This amount shows the actual and specific expense for 1778.
The appropriation was overdrawn $*248.19, which amount is
asked for to cover warrants actnualliv ilrawnl.
The average individual cost in 1876 was 8270.1'2, a;id in
1878, i'185.)9.
A eficiiency appropriation under this head will )be necessary
for 1877 o(f ;6,524.57, and for 1878 of $1,797.20.
Unlike most demands against th, State, the claims for Lu-
natics will not admit of dellav olr p!st ponrc'llt, without greal,
hanislhip to them, and perhaps s additional expense to the State.
If the provision for then had to lb made on credit, the expense
woull be increased ; and if not made at all, they would of
course suffer. Under these circumist ances, the amount a)ppro-
priated bei iing exhausted, it was considered by the Governor and
Cabinet that an unexpended balance of appropriations for main-
tenallce (of the State Prison might with propriety be used for
Maintenance of Lunatics.

S' floating deblet which had not been reported, ;and which e h.
Present administration has had to provide for.
.Jurv and Witness Certihicates are, by law, receivable for
taxes byv Collectors of Revenue, and of course the Tre.asurer
:is to receive them from Collectors in settlement of their nc-
ounts upon warrants from this office.
The act of March 3, 1877, appropriated $50,000.00 for ex-
penses of jurors and witnesses for the year 1877, but as my
predecessorr had not asked for any appropriation, except the
S.7.5374.31 to cover warrants he had actually drawn, there was
:onre made for the scrip outstanding on the 1st January, 1877;
:.o that the $50,000 appropriated for 1877 was consumedi to the
extent of $45,647.89, in paying Jury and Witness Certificates
outstanding for 1876 and previous years, leaving only $4,352.11
available for the scrip of 1877.
The appropriations and warrants drawn in 1877 and 1878 are
as follows :
Appropriation for 1877............................ ....... $50,000.00
Appropriation for 1878 ......... ... ..................... ... ...... 40,000.00

Deduct appropriations .............. .............. 90,000.0%

$9,005.41
Leaving $9,005.41, for which warrants have been drawn in
favor of Collectors of Revenue in payment of taxes.
As before stated, there is still outstanding $44,706.15 of Jury
and Witness Scrip issued prior to the 1st January, 1877. From
the small amount of this class of scrip that has been presented
during the past year, I think it very probable that a very large
portion of it may never be presented, and I would respectfully
suggest that a separate appropriation of $10,000 be made to
meet such as may come into the treasury, and, if this should be
exhausted, that no more be paid until the Legislature assem-

ci\ed them from al.'.25 to $1, and the act of the last Legisla-
:iarc stopping the allowance for mileage. Under the old pay
:i.'d allowance, the issue for 1877 would have been $6:i,759.4:;,
'rid for 1878, 858,394.-45.
It has been suggested that the discontinuance of the allow-
t:,ce of mileage by the last Legislature was probably an over-
".-iht, :inid that it would be restored. For the guidance of the
legislature should they desire to allow mileage hereafter, I
:.ave examined the reports from the several counties for the
'-reing Term of 1876, this being taken as a safe test. The
i:l'tage allowed at that time was k.8,404.10, which would be
I;',8S.20 for tlthe year.
It was not ascertained that the act of 1877 repealed the for-
icr law allowing mileage tn jurors and witnesses until late in
:L c spring, and after the Spring Term of the court had been
;eld in many of the counties, so that the Clerks in issuing cer-
: icates had included mileage. On the 1st June, 1877, Iissued
Circular embracing the opinion of the Attorney-(eneral, and
i'ectirng that no mileage be allowed. In the meantime, how-
.<, Collectors of llev nuel had received many of these certifi-
;:to, with t'.c allowance ofi mileage. This was not allowed to
:nm in receiving the scrip for their tax collections, and they
.aV applt t r the Legislature for relief, which I should think
it ju.;t and proper under the circumstances.

Inquirie-s have been imadie b1y one of the counties of the Coilp-

a: jperiod- in the rivers of Florida, and have done business
i h:;:u t.hi State (as distinguished from steamers lying bctcctti
tf in Se t tLer States and, our ports), officers have claimed the

al.n t questioni lha arisrn nas to whether: l;nrs in steaim-

ers plying in our waters are liable to the license tax for retail-
ing liquors ; and if so, in what county the license may be due-
or exacted.
Special legal provision on these subjects might increase thi-
revenue from a legitimate source, and relieve officers and own-
ers of property from contention, by merely placing the con-
struction of the law beyond question.
Some difference of opinion has existed as to whether the law
requiring licenses for certain occupations therein mentioned ii,
to be construed as meaning that such State license is collectabll
in each and every county where the business of a party may te
conducted; or whether the State license being paid in oii,
county, entitles the holder to conduct his business in an\
county in the State. It is understood that construction, o!
the law heretofore given were to the former effect, and the in-
struction of Comptrollers was in conformity thereto, even t
the ext ent that each separate business or occupation, even in
t1he sa:nl t)owll or county, should pay a separate State lictu se.
iThe question having been frequently presented to the p]resiel:
Comptroller, the opinion of the Attorney Gelneral was oltailned.
and it is to the effect that but one State license is requir, l:
but that parties are liable to a separate county lic-ense in al'i
county wherein they may conduct a business. In replyto in-
quiries since made to the Comptroller, answers have been giver
in aecorldanlce with this opinion. If the construction ll
the law is open to any doubt on this point, I respectfully sug-
gest that the doubt be removed by more explicit legislation.
In cases where licenses have been demanded 'under the third
clause of section 11, chapter 1,976, for selling liquors, they
have been refused on tile ground that the liquids sold are a die
cated, not included in the term spirituous liquors," but being
imported and sold as medicinal drinks, with other goods ii
stock, they are not comprehended under the liquor li eise
law. A similar objectionn has been recently made, in reference
to medicated liquors, to the payment of the Illited States
license tax, adll upon the same being submitted to theD)ep; -
menlt, it was decided that the class of liquors referred to war.
liable to the United States revenue tax.
So, also, objection has been made to paying license for selling
bottled malt liquors coming in cases, such as ale and porter,
(usually sold in what are known as pint bottles,) and to paying
the retail license for selling in "quantities less than a quart,"
when, although sold by the bottle, the bottles do not contain a
quart. From doubts on these points, the collectors are fre-
quently restrained from collecting licenses, and the revenue, i-
properly collectable in such cases, is curtailed. On the other
hand, where liquors are sold in this manner without paying

license, complaints are made by regular liquor dealers, who pay
the wholesale or retail license, that their business is interfered
with by parties who they think should be equally taxed with
themselves.
In some instances insurance agents have claimed that, having
their offices located in one county, in which they pay the State
license, they are allowed the privilege of sending deputies to
any other counties to can vass for business, who forward to the
regular agent the names of parties whose insurance they have
secured, and the policies being issued by the stationary agent,
these deputies are exempt from the operation of the section re-
quiring the license. This is met by complaints made by regu-
lar agents of other companies, that tlie business of the locality
for which they have obtained special license is interfered with,
and that, in their protection, licenses should be required from
the deputies or canvassers mentionedl. In one case which has
been brought to the attention of the Comptroller, a can vasser
was represented as seeking to take orders for insurance for a
company in another State, having no fixed agency in Florida,
by which lie was not only evading the State license required to
be paid directly to the treasury, but seeking to do business
without paying any license at all, on the ground that lie was
not an insurance agent in thle sense inltelded by the law. This
seemed so clear an instance of a purpose to derive a profit from
doing business in Florida without contributing to the legal re-
venues exacted from citizens conducting a legitimate business
in the State, there could be no other reply than that the party
was doing business contrary to law. The fact simply indicates
that to protect the revenue derivable under the law from such
sources, its language should, if possible, be made unmistakable
to local officers having the collection of the revenue in charge.
Although the sixth clause of section 11 (of the act, chapter 1976,
referring to auctioneers, seems explicit, yet the fact is apparent,
from the small amount of auction taxes reported, that full
reports of sales, as contemplated by the law, are not
made from all the counties of the State, although only the
small amount of one-half of one per cent. on the gross amount
of sales is required. Auctioneers seem to forget that this tax may
be properly chargeable as expenses on the goods sold, and is
in no way a tax upon themselves or their occupation; and the
license upon auctioneers is only $5. From general agents
for the sale of lands little or no tax is collected, it being re-
sisted upon the ground, among others, that as the law requires
the tax from "auctioneers and general agents for the sale of
lands," an agent who is not an auctioneer is exempt.
In more than one instance, parties selling fruits and vege-
tables and plantation products have claimed exemption from

license under the proviso of the ninth clause of the same sec-
tion, although they opened such products in a store, claiming
that their goods were vegetables and plantation products "
grown in the State, within the meaning and intent of the pro-
viso. Collectors have had difficulties on this point in endea or-
ing to collect licenses from parties referred to as "store-
keepers."
A question has been raised as to the construction of the
eleventh clause of same section, requiring licenses from exprew
companies, from the demand of Collectors for license in cases
where an agency is proposed to le loatid in cities or towns"
of a population lhes than one thousand inhabitants, tile douln
existing as to the meaning of the words cities s and towns.
The provisions of sections J12, I; and 14, of the act 197(i, re-
quiring license moneys to be collected by the Collectors, ani
the licenses to be issued by the clerk, and reported inuarterly
to the Complutroller, lhae not been followed fully since the en-
actment of the law, amd thus Ili cheek intended by such re-
ports has not been preserved. As here is a penalty attachinii
to a failure 1o conduct a business without having a license. ,
every effort will e, made to have the Iliv enforced.
Positive legislation is surgestcd to secure the collection o,
she poll-tax, which falls far short of thli amount which shouht
be voluntarily paid, instead of its collection being enforced.
Circulars and letters have been sent to Asscssors calling a:-
tention to great imperfectlions in tie iuescript.ions 'of property
assessed, and Collectors have been instructedI not to oirer tor
iale property under such loose descriptions. lIy this practice,
expenses have rbeeni incurred forl that which produces no re\ -
enue to the State. Sinee the circuhar t,, ofthicers n this rsuibje
was sent, a marked improvement has ben made in the matter
of describing property. For thie sain reason lthatl the Collp-
;roller is required to examine lthe sx,--iient rolls to ascertain
"inaccuracies of calculation,'" it is proper to a.scertain nlegli-
gence of description, and to disallow c'on riissions where suci
negligence is apparent. This should ie authorized ty law.
In some of the counties, lands \\ ich were in f'orner ceatr
rold to thie State, have been re-ass'esed ainds *,ol again. ThI
present Comptroller issued a circiilhr to (',llectors nol to i'i'
inch lands as were re-assessed, iin 77. and sinie that time ino
,.ales of such lands have taken pnte. I nler tlht law of IS77.

.a the surrender of tihe State certific m'. The il sIuject Io' tih

- -assessment of the lands referred to, might, with advantage,
receive the careful attention of the Legislature.
As the Attorney-General will give such attention to the pe'-
fj:'tioon of tile revenue Laws as may be necessary, and by this
means co-operate with the Legislature in rendering them more
efficient, and as the collection of the revenue should go hand il
hand with any lcuctioi of taxation which the Legislature
may i.ake, the preceding points in which difficulties are indi-
cated in the way of Collectors discharging their duties are
respectfully called to the attention of the Legislature, in hope
thev wv.ill contribute to tile good results of an effective colloc-
tion of the re\ enie without increasing public burdens.
To facilitate the business of this office, I would respectfully
S:commuend to the Legislature, through the Governor, that the
Comptroller 'e :inthorized to employ another assistant in the
nftice, more especially as a book-keeper, who will have such time
as to enable him carefully to keep the counts with the Collect-
cris and other officers, that Imonthly statements may be sent to
i ihem as to the condition of their accounts, and that such a read
:-.clertailliinlt Pnmai be malde of them that such statements ma<
t. l furnished in !i. -av. or at any other time, without delay.

a large share of time of the office.
The careful examination of the tax-looks, to see that c:alcula-

correctly described, also requires tine and attention, whichl
could be profitably given by additional assistance to the office,
in reference to more careful assessments and the increase of t e
