Litchfield enquirer., 1842-05-12


Iitia urder existing laws. are arduous, and il
most cases very expensive; but they are
cheerfully performed and submitted to by a
large portion of its members, without any
pecuniary reward-and, / am sorry to saw,
without the thanks of portion of the com.
muniIy. As small but just remuneration
for those services, I suggest the ex pediency
of provision that any citizen who shall
have performed military duty for ten years,
ii any lawfully organized company, shall be
for ever thereafter exempted from a poll tax.
The condition Of the Insane poor of this
State will not escape Your attention. 1t has
for several years past engaged the delibera-
tons Of the General Assembly, but without
resulting in any legislative action to amelo-
rate or Improve it. So unfortunate a class
of our fellow beings ought not to be longer
| neglected; and ! commend them to your
! guardian care and protection.
| am not sufficiently apprSed of the state
of the Treasury to be able TO submit to you
any details on that subject. This informa-
ton YOU will unquestionably obtain from the
Report of the proper officer, which will be
submitted to You in due time.
The affairs of the State Prison, under the
faithful management of the officer in charge
OF that institution, continues TO be in a pros,
porous state. The amount paid into the
Treasury during the past year, from the ear
nlngS of the prison, is, am informed, about
thirteen thousand dollars; and the discipline
OF the prison is such rs to answer the high
expectations Of the public. The reports of
the Wardens and Directors will furnish you
more detailed information on that sbbject.
have thus, in obedience to the commands
OF the Constitution, requiring me to recon-.
mend to your consideration such measures us
l might deem eXpedient, presented 10 you
such suggestions as have occurred to me. In
the execution Of our respective duties, let us
in a spirit of patriotic devotion To the public
interest, fearlessly and promptly answer the
demands OF our constituents. Grateful for
the distinguished honor conferred upon me,
shall bo happy to cooperate with you in
any and all measures which shall be deem.
