Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Quartermaster-General of the State of New Jersey: For the Year 1884 An act for the "Organization of the National Guard of New Jersey," makes it the "duty of the Quartermaster-General to make an annual report to the Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the number and condition of the arms and equipments belonging to the State, the number loaned out, in whose hands, and whether they remain under proper responsibilities, including in said return all camp and garrison equipage in his charge." Agreeably thereto I have the honor to submit a report of the same, together with the most important transactions of this department for the year ending October 31st, 1884, with such remarks and recommendations as the demands of the service seem to require. Detailed statements of the daily operations will be found in the appendices under their appropriate heads, the issues of all ordnance stores, clothing, camp and garrison equipage, to the several organizations of the National Guard, and the receipts of the same from all sources at the State Arsenal during the past year, together with the stores on hand at the close of the present year. The Quartermaster-General of the State is also Commissary-General, Paymaster-General and Chief of Ordnance. As Quartermaster-General he is required to provide clothing, camp and garrison equipage, quarters and transportation and quartermaster's stores; as Commissary-General, subsistence in kind or cooked; as Paymaster-General, payment of troops and disbursement of money; and, as Chief of Ordnance, to provide and issue ordnance and ordnance stores, arms and ammunition. Supplies are obtained either by contract or in the open market, whichever is to the best advantage of the State, or manufactured at the State Arsenal. Clothing is purchased principally by contract, awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, under rules and regulations for their proper inspection, and, if not in conformity to the contract and equal to samples, are rejected.
