Section 26 of the instruktsiia shows further that the offices mentioned in the introduction were initially to be five in number, namely a civilian accounting office {grazhdanskaia shchetnaia kontord), a customs and excise office {poshlinnaia i aktsiznaia kontora), and three economic offices {ikonomstvcnnyc kantory). It was further stated that the last of these might, “in future, according to the required needs of the size of the state, be increased in number.’'^'’ The preliminary budget for the kamcr-kollegiia referred to by the instruktsiia was approved by the tsar on April 29, 1718.-'’® On that occasion Peter himself added to the budget that “there will be this number of positions until it is seen how many places [there will be] in the college, and then it will be determined what will be increased or decreased.” A comparison of the personnel budget of the kammarkollegium for 1715 and the budget for its Russian counterpart in 1718 provides the following picture: kammarkollegium: 1. kammarkansliet (chancellery) 2. avräkningskontoret (tax adjustments office) [militicavrakmngskontorct~\ (military tax adjustments office) ” 54 kamer-kollegiia: 1. kamornaia kantseliariia (chancellery) 2. grazhdanskii i voennyi vychetnyi kontor (civilian and military tax adjustments office) TsGADA, f. 248 delo 58 II. 107—109: "Staat vor das Königl.

The statskontoret and räntekammaren have not been included in this list, since the two offices together, in spite of the fact that they were included in the personnel budget of the kammarkollegium, constituted an administrative organ that was independent from it.
