$874. The warden must deposit all moneys ceived by him as such warden, once in each week, to the credit of the treasurer of the state, in a bank located in the city or village most adjacent to the prison; and he must send to the comptroller, weekly, a statement showing the amount so received, and from whom and when and for what received, and the days on which the deposits were made. This statement of deposits must be certified to by the proper officer of the bank receiving such deposit. The warden must also verify by his affidavit that the sum so deposited is all the money received by him, from whatever source of prison income, during the week, and up to the time of deposit. All moneys so deposited by the warden of any prison shall be subject to the quarterly drafts of the treasurer of the state. Any bank in which deposits are made under the provisions of this act must, before receiving any such deposits, file a bond with the comptroller of the state, subject to his approval, for such sum as he shall deem necessary.

See Laws of 1854, ch. 58, as amended Laws of 1860, ch. 399, § 8. This provision is regarded as superseding Laws of 1854, ch. 240, § 6, subd. 2, as amended Laws of 1855, ch. 552, § 11; which declares it the duty of the warden "to deposit, at least once in a week, to the credit of the treasurer of the state, in such bank or banks as may be designated by the comptroller, all the moneys received by him as such warden, and send to the comptroller weekly a statement showing the amount so received, and from whom and when and for what received and deposited, and the days on which such deposits were

S875. The warden must keep a regular and correct account of all moneys received by him from any source whatever, by virtue of his office, including all moneys taken from convicts or received as the proceeds of property taken from them, and all sums paid by him, and the persons to whom and purposes for which the same were paid. He must keep in his office regular books of entries, in which all his accounts and transactions must be entered. Such books and the accounts entered therein must be open for the examination of the inspector or inspectors, the comptroller, or any person authorized by him for that purpose, during office hours.

See Laws of 1847, ch. 460, § 48, subd. 14; Laws of 1854, ch. 240, § 6, subd. 1.

S876. The warden must, monthly, and before any in advance expenses are incurred by him, make an estimate, in minute detail, of the necessary expenses for the support and maintenance of the prison under his charge, including the number of rations or kind of property to be delivered during the coming month, upon any contract made under section 864, and present the same to the comptroller; who, if satisfied that the expenditures are necessary and proper, shall thereupon authorize the warden to make his draft on the treasury for the sum thus estimated, or any part thereof; which amount shall be paid, on the warrant of the comptroller. It is not lawful for such warden to make purchases on behalf of the state, unless such purchases have been included in the estimate presented to and approved by the comptroller. The estimate required from the warden by this section must first be submitted to the inspector in charge of the prison, and his approval written thereon, certify

ing that he has carefully examined the same, and
that the articles contained in such estimate are ac-
tually required for the use of the prison. Such
estimate must be accompanied by the report of the
store keeper, or of the kitchen keeper when the duties
of store keeper are performed by the kitchen keeper,
under oath, giving the amount of each article con-
sumed for the last month, and the amount of each
article then on hand.

The warden must close his account, annually, on the last day of September of each year; and, on or before the first day of December thereafter, must render to the inspectors a full and true account, accompanied by copies of the necessary vouchers, of all moneys received by him on account of the prison under his charge, and all the moneys expended by him for the use thereof, and also an inventory of the goods, raw materials and other property of the state then on hand, exhibiting, in detail, all the transactions of the prison for the year.

Every such statement must be verified by an affidavit of the warden thereunto annexed, as follows: I,

The affidavit of the clerk must likewise be appended thereto, certifying that the articles contained in such bill were received at the prison, and that they conformed in all respects to the invoice of the goods received and entered by him, both in quantity and quality.

Laws of 1854, ch. 240, § 6, subd. 4, as amended Laws of 1860, ch. 399, § 11. These acts are regarded as superseding subdivision 13 of Laws of 1847, ch. 460, § 48, which is therefore omitted. It requires the "agent" to account monthly with the comptroller for all moneys so drawn by him from the treasurer of the state, and for all other moneys received by him as such agent, from whatever source the same may be derived.

$879. The warden must file or cause to be filed, in the office of the comptroller, a copy of each and every contract made and executed by him, as such warden,

He must also, monthly, report to the comptroller a detailed account of the number of days' labor performed on such contracts, which account must be verified by the affidavit of such warden and the clerk of the prison where such labor was performed, to the effect that such account correctly states the whole number of days' labor performed on such contracts.

The warden must pay to the sheriffs or their deputies for transporting convicts to the prison the fees to which such sheriffs or their deputies are by law entitled, provided there are funds belonging to such prison sufficient to warrant such expenditure and meet the current demands for its support; if not, the warden shall so certify, and in that case such fees shall be paid from the treasury, upon the warrant of the comptroller.
