The Education Committee reported mex
pedient to legislaJe to repeal chap. % of the
resolves of the year 1858, authorizing the
Board of Education to employ agents.
Mr. Hale Of Boston. from the Committee
on Finance, reported bill to apportion and
assess a State tax Of 1888 $3.50, accompanied
by statement Of the financial aspect for the
current year. The committee state that the
aggregate appropriations for current expenses
of the year 1858, together with the Govern
or's and Judges salaries, and interest, for
which no appropriations are required, amount
to S. ,003,2I7.
The estimated ordinary reyen ne Of the year,
exclusive Of taxes and balances from last year,
independent of the State tax, is 1922, 1872.
Adding the State tax of $3.50 ,969, the total
revenue Is $l,082 ISL, being a surplus of
$79,554 The committee congratulate the
Legislature on the reduction of expenses, those
of the preceding year having been nearly
million and half, showing diminuton of
nearly 100000.
A certain portion o. the expenditure of the
year 1858 does not become due and payable
unit! l859-such as the last quarters salaries
of all salarled officers, sc. Having made pro-
vision for paying, the present year, all eX-
penses Of this class which belonged to 1857,
1t would be an unnecessary burden to under
take this year also the payment of those be-
longing to the same year. The amount of
these expenditures is S28l 1913, whereby the
expenditure of the year is reduced to S72I,-
344. The estimated ordinary revenue. exclu-
sive Of State tax, is sufficient to cover this
expenditure, with a surplus of $l445.
The appropriations for payments required
the present year on account Of expenditures
belonging to previous years, or growing out
of the legislation of previous years. including
also the net amount required to pay the tenn
porary loan outstanding Jan. I, 1858, amount
to $609,723, to meet which. there are $685.
$50 of taxes Of 1856 and 1857, not paid with
in those years, but which viii be collected the
present year, The amount to be provided is
thus reduced to 1871 ,443. Apply towards
this the balance Of 81, 335 together with the
State tax of $3.50 $3.50, there remains an APP
pecent deficit of $40 DOS. The committee
trust that this apparent deficit may be pre-
vented from actually occurring, by such saw
ings as may be made Iii the appropriations by
the various officers of the government.
