Drawing up an Inventory 278Before any treasurer assumes his office, an accurate inventory of both the immovable goods and the more valuable movable goods is to be drawn up by the outgoing and incoming treasurers, and it is to be signed by the Superior; or a previously drawn up inventory is to be approved, annotating those things that, in the meantime, have been lost or acquired. One copy of the inventory is to be preserved in the house archives and another copy in the Provincial, General Vicariate, or General archives.
