§ 64. Costs recovered. Costs recovered by the attorney-general may be\napplied by him in payment of the expenses incurred by him in the action\nor proceeding in which they are received, or of any expenditure which he\nis authorized to incur not otherwise provided for. He shall, at the\nclose of each fiscal year, render to the comptroller an account of such\ncosts received, with vouchers of such expenditures.
