VIII leave Il DalllICG OF 4O,bSf u
Or ii it should be deemed more expedlen
that the expenditures Should be made in state
paper nj tic rate OF two for one, il will thel
leave balance in favor of the Treasury of five
Thousand seven hundred and seventy doliar:
and siXty-nInc cents.
II having been suggested to your commit
tee that the estimate Of non-reseents' take,
Tor the iasi year was too great, your commit
Ice again called on the Auditor to examine
his books, and report such amount as could be
'elied Oh viii certainty whcfsum falls Short
OF the frs, report three thousand dollars bui
the auditor is still OF opinion that hisreceipts
will equal his original reports adopting, how.
ever, his last estimate, it will reduce the ba-
lance in favor OF the Treasury three Thousand
the estimate of 1926, your oonnitte have not
made any allowance tor the amount that may
be incurred under the act to encourage the
killing Of wolves, and would respectfully re-
commend the repeal OF said act.
OF tn. warrants heretofore issued, there are
twenty thousand two hundred and eighty three
dollars ftiy.nin cents, in possession of the
commissioners of the school fund; and eight
thousand and twenty dollars and five cents, in
possession of, the State Bank, consequently
within the control of the Legislature and
will have the effect TO increase the balance in
the Treasury on the 3lst day of December
1926 that amount, should their redemption be
postponed until after the next regular session
OF the General Assembly. This sum being
withheld from circulation will certainly have
tue tendency to appreciate the value of war;
rants, as well as state paper. There is also of
the school fund now in deposit, four thousand
three hundred and six dollars and forty cents
N silver, which may also be invested; and will
lave the effect further to appreciate our cur
rency.
1t is proper to observe that the committee
in their estimate of expenditures, omitted to
include the two per cent. allowed for the bene-
fit of the common schools, which will amount
TO about 800 dollars per annum.
These calculations we feel assured are based
on a data that can be depended on, and which
the test of time will prove to be correct and
the committee respectfully submit bill for an
act relative TO the revenue of this state"

mittee OF the whole, upon the bill entitled
