State and the reduction of the indebtedness from the
proceeds, has placed the finances OF the State in
good condition. IL Is q matter Of much doubt, ct

have been more benefited by having retained pos

them. The payment for these works In evidences OF
State Indebtedness purchased at deprecated prices
released the State from large amount Of liabilities and
reduced the debt very materially but the produc
