GeatleD1en Of the House or Representatives:
return 10 your honorable body, in .whicn II Or
iglnated the Joint resolution TO appoint trustees
". without my signature, for the following
reasons:
It proposes TO change the present board OF trus.
tees without any allegation Of their incapacty. in-
efnclency or mlsappr0rria,Ion orthe fund enirnst.
ell to their charge. On the contrary, 1t is assert
ell by respectable citizens OF Abbevihe County
that they have managed, satisfactorily and sue
cessTuny. the finances OF the estate FOR more than
thirty years. A majority Of the trustees proposed
IN the joint resolution now under CONSIDERATION
are persons OF very little experience in finance;
aud, while their integrity or good intentions az
not impunged, regard It Of she highest impor.
tance that Sufficient guards should be provided
for The security Of tEe fund and Its proper ap-
pllcalion 10 its benevolent purposes. ! wouiu
therefore suggest that. in the formation OF such
law. the proposed trustees should be directed 10
give ample security for tile fithfu' performance
OF their duties and the funds entrusted to their
care.
Eegrettlng the necessity for my disagreement
With your honorable bo;iv,
