The temporary debt. or the excess of expen-
SOS over current receints will require attention.
Until 1858 for more than twenty wears. with
one single execution the receipts Of the Govern
ment were canal to its navments In 1853
a State tax was maid. which from the sum
$500. 900 in 1854. had grown to the sum of
1898. 973 in 1857. The last legislature. by sys-
with one execution reduced the State tax to
S359.93S. making n reduction of S539 985. and
reducing the amount of County tax below the
amount asked by Commissioners $50. 900: a
total reduction in these two departments of
nearly $500 O00 in ono wear
The total amount of appropriations for the
service of last wear were Sg54. 938. of which
S942;365 appears to have been expended. The
legislature by statute of 1858. chapter 1853. has
deprived the executive department of the pow
or to make an exact statement of the wants of
the government for the nresent wear. IInon
such information as can be obtained. it is be-
lieved that the expenditures upon the basis of
last year will amolIi4 to SgO4 600 and the re-
CENTS. upon the same basis to SOB OOO-leay
ing deficit of SOL 900. to be suppled by di-
rect taxation. / am led to believe. however
that increased receipts will reduce the deficit
stated some S25.O00: and am also persuaded
that Iils..-el s-5-- 4.es o-Aoeeu
