provement policy OF the State viz:
THE undersigned members OF the committee of Roads
&c, being minority OF said committee submit the fol-
lowing AS their report on the late OF the Governor
Of Virginia, to said committee referred the same
relates to the subjects OF internal improvement and the
extension OF the present of the General Assembly
beyond the Constitutional period Of ninety DAYS While
free admit that the completion OF the works of i'm.
provement already need and the construction of 9TH
es not commenced ohects greatly be desired
not OF those Who anticipate that all those works
when completed will Weld the State large amount OF
nett and thereby lessen the burdens of taxation
upon the people Our sister State of PENNSYLVANIA has
think tested the matter and although her great works
of internal improvements completed, and many OF
them been in ul operation for years past still nd her
sith liability the shape OF public debt
hanging over her people and they heavily aud grevou.y
taxed from year TO year to maintain credit the
State.
The liabilities of the State of Virginia are now abou,
$4,000 OUJ and the interest Of pubic debt and the
per cent 10 the sinking fund the las provided
Tor by constitutional amounts the aggr cgate
annually than the whole Of the State collected
last year under the tax bill. We called upon to
Increase the upon constituents about loo Der
cent and should increse the State debt this session
would be- under the necessity Ut making the taxes s
higher And If the Legislature disposed involve
the State It'll farther in iebt this tue would ask
where the prOpriety OF doing So when the Board of
Public Works i authorized by law TO issue State
bonds to the amount OF and they unable
negotiate loan sell bond either in Europe or Amer.
lea par And while believe that taxation should be
equal uniform upon all the citizens of the State we believe
also, that the iaVors OF the government should like thu
drws oi Heaven, fall possible alike upon all
the citizens well ~ all portions of the common weah
And while some msy think that what they pleased
20 call the leading lines" the only works Of merit 10
be found in the State others may very honestly differ
with them, and insist that they have "leidng lines
also that Just important their constituents and
perhaps equally important the State at large Under
existing circumstance believe it would be best for the
internal improvement interest of Virginia withhold ap.
preparations at this time In view of all the foregoing
facts, and many others that might be named consider
1t ineNpcien TO carry out the recommendations OF said
message ia relation To appropriations to works of internal
Improvement At the present of the General Assem-
bly, And a. the recommendation extend the session

ton aud adoption OF bills making appropriations money
to works OF internal improvement and believing a. we do
that il the wish OF constituents that the - s.io

ion that the session shall not be extended.
