Fnnacc, that uccisinn, said he was siut

Then III" uniy tTnn the Auditor the

The 3Oh OF September 1882 From thar cstIa" he (Nr
K made FOR tho year ending the 30th of September

that year sufficient r sinking fund by The
constitution, and deay the current annual expenses OF lie
government.
Since them the chairman OF the committee Of Finance
has made call tho Auditor for estimate and
the Auditor has made both for that y"ir and
for The year ending the 50h Of September 1854, in
which he thai he Tdnay Of revenue which

So that al the rates of taxation which the ssil

will for the years together BE- surplus 0: slG4o 80
If confidence rcpusld in these estimates If The i1aE
cal officer the Commonwealth it very clear that The mo-
ton strike out Is should prevail.
Ii urged however BY the chairman Of Tie committee OF
Finance that there omissions in the Auditors estimates
which, if supplied, will make matcria difference aud re-
qulrc 4 much larger rate Of taxation
The material CT the alleged emissions arises out Of
difference Of views 10 the naaner in which the clause
Of The constitution in regath the sGhng fund, is - be
carried That clause provides in its first sentence that
"herc shall be apart annually from the ccruing revenue
SUM equal per pf the State debt existing
the first day of January in The year 1882 ard provides in
subsequent sentence, that whencstr after the said first
day of Jar uary GcS; shall be contracted by lie Common
wealth, there shall be set apart in like manner ANNUALLY for
81 years, exceeding by per cent the aggregate
Of HE annual interest agreed 10 be paid thereon al
the lime OF its CONTRACTION
The Chairman OF Committee Of Finance and the Au-
dito differ what is 10 be considered debt within the
meaning Of this clause and consequently diiGr as 10 the
tn be set apart OF the debt out OF the
revenue for The two years 1898 and 1854
The idea o the Chairman 10 be, that when the
State has authorized subscription the stock of
pany and subscription has made binding the State
law and equity there is then by force of such subctp
tion, State Geb;a debt contracted by the commonwealth
As tic Of individual who subscribes to stock,
debt is due from the individual he supposCs when there is
subscription BY the commonwealth or Gy The Board OF
Public Works. as her agent debt is due from the common
wealth.
In such case may be conceded that there is by force
of tho subscription, debt contracted by The commonwealth
But the question is whether there is such
