Just regard to the financial condition OF the state
and to other equal claims upon the Treasury,
1t is gratifying to Observe that the expenses Of
each Institution during the year, have been less
than the appropriations for their support. 1,
particularly commend to your attehtlon the ecoA,
nomical use ofthe appropriation OF ten thousand
dollars for doimtory for the Deaf and Dun.he
to be hereafter converted into workshops. Tbs
purpose of the appropriation las been most sat-
isactoriIy accomplished, and balance Of four
thousand dollars remains in the Treasury

pediency ofentering without furt her delay unt n

need Of which has been so long Acknowledged.

work and disbursements on account of it during
the last year. 1t is with great pleasure that l
direct Your attention TO the careful economy,
thorough wolk and substantial progress Mhit a
have distinguished their adm niStlatlon. Your,
own observations, now that your Sess ons arc
held n the new bulidihg will satisfy you as 10
the character and condition of the work. The
flct that of the ninety thousand dollars appro-
priatcd for this service more than ioty-six
thousand remained III expended at Il : close of
the fiscal year, sufficiently attests the economy
of the Infringement.
The nature and magnitude Of the trust cttn-
mtted to the Quarter Master General, and the
manner in which the duties Of his office have
been performed during the past year, will appear

of this report, and particularly that relating TO
the construction Of State Arsenal, deserve
your consideration. The proceeds of the old
| Neniteutiary grounds may lie adfantagcously
applied to the purchase Of a ste and the erec-
ton of the necessary buildings; or the L4egisla
ture may direct the !, cation Of the arsenal upon
