until it is full, or as near that as the finances
of the county will allow.
The committee have advertised for propo.
posals for loans with which to pay bounties
aud have received proposals for only $l4, 900.
There appears to be hesIta icy on the part of
capitalists in Offering for loans until tie ac-
ton OF the Board on the subject of bounties
at this session is de ermined. And YOUR
committee believe that the offer of an indeii.
mite amount Of bounties, withou. the power
OF raising by taxation the interest, will not
only be suicidal and fatal to the credit of the
county, but will defeat the object in view
that if s'e recklessly impair the credit of the
county by lavish and nncaled for appropria.
tions, we will incapacitGte the ccun,E for any
efiectual action for ra ng volunteers. oreven
for discharging the sacred duty of providing
for soldiers families. we therefore recommend
that the whole amount expended for bount,es
shall not exceed $4,000
Yonr Committee will further state that we
have found it utterly impossible to get The
proof required by the resolution Of Dee 3 st.
to enable the soldiers to get the bounty, ard
as 1t will be dishonorable to offer bounty
and then avoid, by a technical qlibble, its
payment, We recommend that the certificate
of the mastering in officer and Of the officer
in charge of the recruit, that he is actively on
duty, as sufficient.
