NorE-The debt due from John Pres,ons securities,
amounting TO 1855, 100 is included i'm the above
statement: bill releasing tho being before
the House. Should that bill be rejected the probable
balance will be ST., S39 O5.
IL will be Observed that in the foregoing estimate no
aowancei is mado in the revenue of the year,
Tor the sum oil Ss2Il2 23 100, which, by anticipation,
was paid into the Treasury prior TO the 30h Sept 1929
and constitutes part of the large balance reported the
to be OH hand. The Of business for a number OF
years past, warrants the presumption that, similar
mcnt may be expected in future, affect ma
teriay the amount Of estimated receipts.
From supposiOn that the citizens of the State will
COnsf fufin in
venon, your committee have thought prudent take
notice in their statement Of the probable expenses of
extra session of the Legislaturc.-f from any cause
Whatsoever, such session shall be dispensed WITH the
increase in the probable balance estimated above will
be obvious. There l. nothing i'm the condition of our
Finances, which will controul policy that is wise
and prudent be pursued upon this subject and YOUR
committee have therefore, not thought il tit for them TO
enter here into any discussion of be adopt
ed upon so important an occasoD TO indicate any opn-
ion OF the propriey of interfering with the existing law
hey leave the matter entirely with the wisdom the
House.
Should he amended Constitution be ratified by the
citizens, important changes in judicial poy the
expenses OF courts, and the nature OF the remedies
be reasonably expected; some Of these changes will be
likely TO affect our revenue laws in many ways; and
anticipation of these occurrences, your committee re-
frain from suggestions which not of pressing
sity, and which, If acted upon, might be adapted TO

the regular charges upon the ordinary revenue. And
although it is fair TO presume that putting new regula-
lions into practice, will bring with them additional costs
the extent of which cannot be oreseen vet no easona
bic calculation can comprehend demands exceeding in
amount, those which might be anticipated under the
existing Constitution. The debts due from the State
are inconsderabe consisting in the old per cent GER
titcatcs; few OF which believed TO be still anoat
and occasionally presented for redemption Your COIN
mttce have means Of ascertaning their amount but
satisfied that the above appropriation to the Sinking
Fund.- sufficient to exngush the claims upon them
rs they are offered. The loans effected for Public Works
amount, to 81 235 000 not yet redeemable and the
interest them is charged upon the fund for Internal
Improvement, and the revenues Of the James River
Company. The debt due 10 the Literary Fund amount
ing TO $3t3 030, HOO is rcdeeBabe. The poll
cy Of the State has heretofore considered that fund
sacred and its purposes ought still TO continue its conse-

tending REIMBURSEMENT by that fund IL the debt were
paid 1t does not advisable to do much more than
to make arrangements for the payment Of interest,"
Your committee would however suggest that redemp-
ton OF the seven per cent certificates Of that debbv
an issue OF others bearing only interest Of six per
cent, would probably be every way advisable. Upon
the whole, anticipating extraordinary demands upon
