.' MESSAGE.
A message was received from thu
Governor, transmitting tho annual re-
port of the State Treasurer. p
On motion Of Mr.. Proctor it was re
ferred to the Committee on Ways ant
Means.
Mr.. Doron suggested that the usua
number of copies be ordered printed.
Mr.. Proctor thought it should first b
examined by the committee to ascertain
whether Il was worth printing or not
He thought the reports Of the Stat
officers, as q general thing, since thu
State organization, had been meagr'
and contained but little information
Such being tho case, he should oppose
any printing that was costly, unless |
appeared that there was some benefit t
be derived therefrom.
Mr.. Meder concurred.
Mr.. Edwards said he was very anxious
to know what the Treasurer had beer
about for the last year. By a bill pass.
ed last session, that officer had beer
sent on a mission to New York, with {
margin Of $4,000 to pay expenses, Il
contract a loan Of easy rates. He sup
posed he went to New York, but die
not know It. IN common with many
citizens he would like to know whethe
he went aud what he did. Still, h,
concurred generally with Mr.. Proctor.
Mr.. Proctor promised the gentlemen
and the Senate that the Committee oil
Ways and Means, Of which he was
member, would report fully what tn
Treasurer had been doing; and if Their,
was anything worth printing in his re
port they would so recommend.
Mr.. Doron withdrew his suggestion
to print. a.7a.'
The report was then referred to tn,
Committee on Ways and Means.
