§ 262. Expenses of officers. Recording officers and county
treasurers shall severally be entitled to receive all their necessary
expenses for the purposes of this article, including printing, hire of
clerks and assistants, being first approved and allowed by the tax
commission and, after audit by the comptroller, shall be retained by
them out of the moneys coming into their hands. In counties wholly
within the city of New York for the purposes of retirement the recording
officers, clerks and assistants shall be considered as in the city
service to the same extent as though their salaries had actually been
paid by the city of New York.
