nc resources ofthc state of Indiana, Prudcntly
'anagcd, are amply sufficient to sustain a sys- .
IN Of Internal Improvement commensurate :
it'll tho wants of the people, and that we arc in
vor of such system. ,
Sd. That the system Of Internal Improvement :
progress in the State of Indiana, is far above the
cans of this state, to accomplish, in the man. :,
r in which the same is conducted under the I'M
ntrOllabic management of the board of public "
orks, and that we deem it the duty Of said Board
put the works into classes selecting some ono :
two works for the first class, and dcfcrring the "
al completion Of the residue until the resources -
the state will Justify their further prosecution, a.
d that there should be more lettings until y
ter the meetings of the next Legislature. c,

legislative authorities into the hands Of an IT. 81
sponsiblc body, as is done by the act creating u:
c system of internal improvement, and that Of &C
power, the power Of aPpropriafing the public IN
,ncy should be the last which the immediate m
Of the people should place in other WI
nds. II

,ncy and credit of the State is placed at the ar ar
rary disposal of the Board Of internal improve ly

by that act, and that they arc invested with ev
fhoFity reserved to the legislature by the con- de
tuition. tn
