A portion of the revenue VI each ifs.
cal year is annually paid before the
commencement OF the year, and con-
stitutes part of the balances IN the
Treasury at The end of tue pre- ceeding
year. J bis being a circumstance Of
ordinary occurrence, it has heretofore
been thought not material TO vary the
estimates on that account. Perceiying,
however, that the amount thus paid into
the Treasury prior TO the LIST OF October
last, varies considerably from the
amount thus paid in the preceding year,
your committee have, with view to
the greatest possible accuracy In the
estimates now submitted, excluded from
the balance in the Ireasur, at the ter
minatien of the last fiscal year, the sum
Of osS, 707.5l, part OF tue estimated re-
venue vi the current fiscal year, which
had been previously paid INTO the Urea
sury and constituted d part oil that be-
lance. Various unexpepded appropri-
atoms OF the last year, amounting 10 the
sum of S43,oSS 30, are included in the
above estimate OF the expenditures of
the current year. Among these is a
balance OF $40, 500, of an appropriation
to the Sinking Fund, for the redemption
Of So much of the old per cent certi-
hcate debt OF the State as was not held
By the President and Directors Of the
Literary Fund. This balance is believ-
ed 10 be fully sufficient for the accom-
plishment oil that object; and when it
shall have been done, there will be no
outstanding debt of the state, except
what is held for the use OF the Literary
Fund, consisting OF a portion ofthe old
six per cent. debt, and S3i9 900 of Sc
ven per cent certificate debt, the re-
demption of which, at this time, does
not appear to your committee as desira'
Bile.
In submitting the foregoing estimates
of the revenue and expenditures Of the
State, it is pleasing to your committee
TO be able to state, that, from an atten-
tive consideration Of the state Of the
public finances, there does not appear
TO them any necessity for an increase of
the present rates OF taxation. Should
any new subjecioi taxation be discov-
cred, which ought, in justice, to contri-
butte towards the expenses of govern
ment, proportional reduction from the
existing taxes might be made; and in
that event, your committee are not a.
ware of any subject on which the re-
daction could be more equitably made
than the tax on LAW process.
