into the room so suddenly that

Governors Message, No. l.

= ..sGovernor's Message, Mo. l..
Fellow- Citizens of the Senate and
ofthe House Of Representatives
In accordance with the rcquisi-
tions Of tho Constitution to lay
before you information Of the con-
'Sdition 'of tho State, and recon-
mend TO your consideration such
mousares as may be Iaeomod neccs-
n..bary or oxpcdiont, I shall proceed
to perform that duty as briefly as
circumstances will permit, post
.poningHto future opportunity
the discnssion Of nll questions not
directly connected with the adj
liinistrhtion of the Govcrnmcnt.
The interval since your last SOS
sion has been so brief and the de-
tails connected with tho organiza-
tion of'thc now branches Of public
servico 'havc occupied SO much
time and attention, rs to leave but
little opportunity for tho consid-
Grafton of matters OF Il moro gene
raj character, many Of which were
fully discussed ir my Message at
the special session.
=: :, The Act providing for tho as
sessment and taxation Of property
has received considerable attcn-
tion,' and the organization Of tho
Auditors Department has pro
gresscd as rapidly as circum-
stances would permit. Great care
and caution have been necessary
in selecting the officers, to whom
will be entrusted The execution Of
ithe tax law, hut it is believed that
tho appointments made, and TO be
made, will give efficiency and sue
cess to this important department
of the Government. shall lay
before you, at the earliest practi-
cable period, the complete assess
mont Of the property Of tho State,
which will afford the necessary
5asie for taxation.
The estimate Of the Auditor for
the contingent fund may appear
large, but it should bo rcmcm-
bored that tho Assessors books,
blanks and other forms for tho
whole State, arc to be provided
ont of this fund, not only for the
assessment which is about to be
made, but for that which will have
to- be made previous to tho CON
vening of the General Assembly
in 1869.
The organization Of tho Audi.
tors Department, and tho success
full completion Of tho first assess,
ment of property, will involve a
large amount Of labor and some
Unusual expenditures, but rs the
result aimed ut is most desirable,
recommend that the Legislature
will afford ovory facility for the
accomplishment Of the object.
