The facts and data upon which the foregoing
statement, which has been examined and ap-
proved BIZ the financial board, is based, are
open to the inspection Of the public, both at
the State treasury and at the financial agency
in New York. The financial board report that
the authority of the act of August 26, 1868, en-
titled sAn act to authorize loan 10 redeem
the obligations known as bills receivable Of the
State of South Carolina; the act of August 26,
1863, entitled AN act to authorize loan to
nav the interest on the public debit the act OF
February.l7, 1869, entitled AN act to authorize
loan for the relief Of the treasury the act of
March az, 1859, entitled An act to provide for
the appointment of land commissioner, and
March l, 1870, entitled An act to amend an act
entitled AN act to provide for the appoint
ment of land commissioner, and TO define his
powers and duties, and for other purposes
therein mentioned;' the act Of March %, 1889,
entitled AN act to provide for the conversion
of State securities;' and the act OF March 26,
1869, entitled AN act to authorize the financial
agent of the State Of South Carolina, in the
City of New York, to pledge State bonds, as
collateral security, and for other purposes"
The three first named acts authorized the
borrowing oil two million five hundred thou
sand dollars on coupon bonds. Owing to the
constant and increasing depreciation In the
value of the bonds, 1t was found necessary, IN
order to carry into effect the purposes OF these
several acts, to issue much larger number Of
bends. The act for the conversion Of State Sc
curitles, giving authority for q more available
and uniform class of bonds than the one
which had, in the first instance, been issued
under the several acts referred to, the re-
mainder of the bonds required to raise the
amounts of money authorized BY. the several
acts were prepared, in accordance with the
act for the conversion OF State securities. to
the amount above named.
The Indebtedness Of the State being as above
stated, the State authorities now hope to be
able to retire the bonds In New York, and to
save the securities now hypothecated from
sale. 1t is also intended to discontinue the
financial agency In New York. except to de-
sienate some banking institution as the place
for the payment of the interest on the public
debt.
Tax Levy, Taxes Collected, and Delin-
quent Taxes.
Many and extravsgant statements have been
made regarding the assessment and collection
OF taxes, and those not familiar with tine
actual facts, when compared with collection
of revenue for the same purposes In other
States. are doubtless frequently led to believe
that taxation is eXtravagant and unusual. Iun-
