In March, 1864, an act was passed to
establish, in the Adjutant Generals Of
fee, albureau Of Military Statistics, to
preserve IN permanent form, record of
the services of every Ohio soldier. It
provided means for commencing the
work, and in 1866 appropriations
we're made for prosecuting the same. In
1867 3 bill was introduced providing
for the completion of the Record and
its Pubication, but it failed to become
law, and no further appropriations
having been made the work was sus-
pended,the appropriations before made,
$500 having been'expended. About
500 muster rolls had been copied, and
an equal number remain 10 BE- copied,
a portion ofWhich VIII have to be OBJ.
tAinep from the Adjutant General of the
United States. The Adjutant General
urges an appropriation of $4,000 to
complete the work contemplated by the
act Of 1864 but is not prepared to re-
commend its publication. The frequent.
examinations of regimental nOlls re-
quired by the business of the Office, are
rapidly wearing them out and indicate
the necessity Of fulfilling the design of
the act Of 1864 that those rolls may be
preserved in volumes, in compact form.
In them will be preserved the military
history of the humblest private who
served in the ranks as well as those in
command. The Record would be in
valuable for reference, and easy Of ac-
cess to those desiring information, which
it would be difficult if not impossible.
to obtain from the General Govern
ment, A proper State pride should
induce the Legislature to make proyi-
sion for completing the Record. A re-
vision Of the Cemetery Lists, is urged,
and an appropriation asked for to com
plete the same. The failure of the
Legislature to appropriate the amount
named in the Militia Law, for allowance
to military companies, has rendered the
law practically imperative, and it is
urged to take steps to render the law
afFacf;xo r1
The amount of Ordnance and Ord
nance Stores overdrsWn by the State,
over its quota is set down at 1884,
7s7 %. Most Of this is charged at the |
prices which prevailed during the war
As II. would require the States quota
for sixteen or seventeen years to come
10 balance this amount and as there is
q large quantity on hand which may
not be needed for years, the Adjutant
General asks authority to transfer the
same to the United States, which will
receive them and credit them to the
State, at the prices charged, if found to
be in as good condition as when issued,
The Legislature should at once grant
him authority to make the transfer.
