An Inventory of Its Warrant Registers and Related Records at the Minnesota Historical Society
Government Records
OVERVIEW
| Creator: | Minnesota. State Auditor. | |
| Title: | Warrant Registers and Related Records. | |
| Dates: | 1858-1890. | |
| Language: | Materials in English. | |
| Abstract: | Registers record warrants issued by the auditor, authorizing payment for approved expenses, to be presented to the state treasurer for payment. The warrants registered appear to have been authorized from two funds, a general or miscellaneous fund and a legislative fund. There are also two series of registers, one created in the auditor's office where the warrants were issued, and another in the treasurer's office where they were redeemed. The information contained in both series is nearly the same, except that the auditor's registers show what the payment is for and the treasurer's do not. Legislative warrants were issued in separate numerical series for each session or extra session. | |

WARRANT REGISTERS, GENERAL, TREASURER’S OFFICE
Auditor’s Warrants, 1860-1870, 1 volume. Entries were found to entirely duplicate those in the Warrant Registers, General, Auditor’s Office, and it was discarded. These three volumes were retained, even though they give no information on what the expenditure was for or from what fund it was paid, because they serve as a means of access to the warrants themselves.
