E In relation to the Public Debt, the
Governor of Michigan says in his Message:
The whole redeemable portion of the public
debt above available resources IS about Two NIL
lions of dollars; and the Auditor General has
prepared table, to be found In his report, show
ing that this debt, by the operation of the sinking
fund proposed, will be extinguished in period of
twenty.four years. OF the annual increase of this
fund, above half will be cOunterbslanced by the
diminution Of interest," and the increase OF tax
required for both, for some time, little exceeds
thousand dollars year. Indeed, the increase
during the whole period will fall far short OF the
increase of population and taxable property.
ESTIMATE of the Principal and Interest
of the Public Debt-including the Stock of Texas,
payable annually from the lst January, 1851, to
its final redemption.
