New York (State). Commissary-General's Office
Variant namesChapter 270 of the Laws of 1846 provided for the enrollment of the militia and formation of eight military division districts in the state, by population. The law also authorized a suitable armory or place of deposit for the safekeeping of arms and camp equipment within the bounds of each military regiment. The place for an armory was approved by the commanding officer of each brigade, and the commissary general directed the "size and finishing" of the armory for a cost not to exceed $300 each (to be paid by the state) on land ceded to the state. Each armory was under the commanding officer of the regiment in that district, who appointed a person to take charge of the armory.
