some facts, To which would more particularly
direct Your attention.
rlSANcFs
It is gmtfying to be able To report that our
financial condition continues % improve. Under
the wise provisions of former legislation the
funded debt Of the State has been reduced during
the year two hundred and thirty Thousand dollars
With np resources hut direct taxation, and with
the extraordinary expenditures during the Iast
few years, amountingin the aggregate to upwards
pl I'VE millions ul dollars, We md ourselves nc the
closo of the fiscal year with funded indebtedness
after deducung lulunce 10 credit Of sinking fund
OF eleven hundred and xty-eght thousand dollars
With % continuance of the policy Of providing
for portion OF the funded debt, and with due
regafl 10 the economical administration Of the
affairs oi State, we may still further reduce the
amount required to be missed by taxation.
The war claim Of the state against the United
States has received the special attention of the
Auditor Of Accounts. TIE umadiusted balance
due the State Is now S20l 212.23. 1t j. estimntel
by the Auditor tbat We may expect with conf
dcnce To- receive within the present fiscal year, at
least one hundred and ten Thousand dollars on
these claims.
The rrclsurer's Report enables me 20 make the
following statement Of the finance. for the fiscal
year.

for the Reform School, has been expended. The
Trustees have erected substantial brick building
at cost of twenty-nine hundred dollars, and have
made other improvements on the grounds and
buildings with a view 10 the perimnoney Of the
Institution.
The expenses of the school have been ten thous-
and five hundred and thirteen dollars, from which
is 70 be deducted seventeen hundred and seventy
nine dollars, the earnings Of the boys in the
shop. The products oil the farm, for the
current year, amount in value TO twenty-nine
hundred and sixty.ii,e dollars, and have princ-
pally been used in the support of the school.
The school has had eighty-seyen inmates during
the year, aud now has sixty mine boys under its

II was said, during the late war, when the
yeraont boys led the column, " We are all right,
there will be no ialtering from them" The ranks
were kept well closed up by determined set OF
mer, who went forth with firm purpose of dis
charging their duty as becometh good soldiers.
Vermont is again in the van, and hersentnnents
have been clearly expressed through the ballot

Ii will be necessary to assess tax upon the
Grand List Of the State, for an amount sufficient
to meet the estimated liabilities, and such other
appropriations as may be made. What is receiy
ed during the year from the United States may be
Appropriated to further reducing the funded debt,
or applied to a reduction of the tax.
The balance in the Treasury TO the credit Of the
soldiers for allohnents of United States pay, s
now, including interest, upwards of twenty-five
thousand dollars. The object for which tie allot-
ment system was adopted having been fully at

should not be taken, having a tendency to bring
these accounts % a close.
The aggregate Indebtedness Of all the towns and
cities in the State, as shown from the returns
made to the State Treasurer, il nineteen hundred
and thirty-nine thousand, one hundred and ninety
eight dollars. Nearly one-half Of the debt is found
in the Counties Of Bennington and Windsor.

The reports of the officers Of the State Prison
are quite full, and doubtless will prove satisiacto-
Y. There are now confined in the institution
seyenty-two male and four female conyicts, The
expenditure has been thirteen Thousand two hum
dred and nineteen dollars, and the income sixty
eight hundred and six dollars, leaving a balance
of expenses over income, Of sixty-four hundred
and thirteen dollars nearly the average Of the
past four years. 1t cannot be expected to show
better results during the continuance Of the pre-
sent contract for the labor Of the conyicts, which
expires in 1871, The operation Of the laws of
last session are beneficial in their effects upon the
discipline Of the prison. The commutatiou Of
sentence provided for is much more effective than
the expectation Of pardon, and entertaining this
view, but few Of the numerous applications for
Executive clemency have been graHted The sug-
gestions of the officers Of the prison this point
meet my cordial approval.
