2. The Public Trust Office shall be situate in the City of

3. The office shall be open to the public from 10 a.m. to
   1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., except on Saturdays, when
   it shall close at noon; and it shall not be open at all on

    of such accounts, or a copy thereof at any other time
    than the fixed period for rendering the same, such person
    shall pay the charge prescribed in respect thereof: Pro-
    vided also that the Public Trustee shall have the sole dis-
    cretion as to who are the proper persons to whom such
