Administrative History
A law of 1833 established a second deputy comptroller in charge of auditing canal expenditures.
His office was abolished and duties were transferred to the new office of Chief Clerk of the Canal Department by a law of 1840. The Office of Auditor of the Canal Department was established by a law of 1848. All the duties and powers of the Comptroller in relation to canals (except as a Commissioner of the Canal Fund) and of the Chief Clerk of the Canal Department were transferred to the new office. The Office of Canal Auditor was abolished by a law of 1883 and all its duties and powers reinvested on the Office of Comptroller.
