will require further appropriations. The
Constitution contomplatcs the payment of
each years income. 1t sanctions no debts
for the expenses of one year to be paid by
increased taxation the next.
IL will be seen by reference to the full
and able report of the State Auditor, that
during the last year, in the absence of the
sautary check of nm annual legislative scs-
sion, the expenditures several departments
of the public service greatly exceeded tho
amount properly applicable to them, and
that large debts were thus contracted, the
payment of which was cast upon the rove
nues for the service Of 1866.
The amount of these debts has not been
precisely ascertained. The amount actual
" paid during tho year, was $5l7,373 65;
and the balance unascertained, is estimated
by the Auditor at 100000; making an ag-
gregatc of debts to the amount of S6l7,-
373 65, which should either have been paid
out of the revenues of 1s54-5 or should
not have been contracted at all.
The effect of this anticipation of revenues
will be clearly presented by the following
