630
despatch. In the meanwhile
I
may mention that I have provisionally instructed the Treasurer to post up notices
in conspicuous places in the Treasury warning the public the money is to be paid to the Shroffs only, and that
receipt for
money paid in is valid, unless it bears the signature of the Treasurer (or in his absence, the Chief Clerk) and the stamp of the Shroff; to sign every receipt himself except such as may be urgently required during his absence from the Treasury, in which case the receipts may be signed by the Chief Clerk; to make it his first duty on returning to the Treasury from absences on duty elsewhere to examine the Counterfoils of all receipts issued during his absence, and satisfy himself that the corresponding amounts have been duly entered in the appropriate daily Collection books; to habitually take the precautions described at the end of the 13th paragraph of this despatch; and finally to give effect to the recommendations of the Commission with regard to the forms of the rent roll and assessment taxes roll, and the keeping of his books.
