appropriated for contingent expenses OF
the Auditors Office has been found
inadequate, The item of postage alone
amounts to nearly one thousand dollars.
Extra clerical force is also required in
order to keep the work of the office up
to the point required by law. Much OF
the labor-including posting OF the
books and correspopdence-oft the office,
covering the period of two months or
more preceding the 4th of March, was
left undone, owing, no doubt, to lack
Of clerical force, and had to be brought

In relation to the Indebtedness Of the
general State fund to the school funds
a subject not generally understood and
which has given rise to good deal OF
misrepresentation, the Auditor makes
the following statement and recommen-
dation.
THE annual report of the Auditor,
for the year 1870. exhibited the fact
that the General State Fund was in
debted to the School Funds in the sum
of $50, 52S. "a which grew out ofthe use
of said funds, in the payment of the
ordinary appropriations, which should
be paid out of the fluids raised for gen.
eral State purposes. 1t will be seer
from the report of this year that the
amount of this Indebtedness has been
materially reduced.
at is Of the utmost Importance that
this debt be discharged, and that the
School Funds be relieved Of the EN-.
barrassment arising from this cause.
The importance of the service to which
these funds are applied, make it appa'
rent that they should be encroache ed
upon or used for other than their legi.
innate purpose only in the most ex.
IRENE emergencies. The necessities Of
the Treasury heretofore have been such
as to require the use of portion Of
this money. 1t becomes a duty to pro-
vide funds for its replacement.
"Itis respectfully recommended thata
special tax Of 5 cents on each hundred
dollars valuation of property Of the
State be levied for this purpose.
at is believed that the special tax
heretofore levied for Hospital purpo.
ses may very properly be dispensed
with, and this tax levied In lieu thereof.
1.-The total valuation Of all property
listed this year in the State is
Sl35, 1868, S5S. A tax of 5 cents on the
hundred dollars, will, after deducting
twenty per cent. for delinquencies,
produce the nett sum OF SD, 49,. CO.
which approximates very nearly t. the
amount Of this Indebtedness. A small
appropriation from the General State
Fund, in addition to this, would fully
discharge the debt, and relieve our
people OF all anxiety on this account.
The valuation OF lands for purpose
OF taxation has been heretofore irregular
and liable 10 much abuse. Instances
are known in which the political
opinions Of the owner were considered
in fixing the assessment, and great in
justice has thus been done to those
whose lands have been properly asses
sed. The total value OF real estate in
the State, including buildings, is only
$95, 800. S9S.02, or an average of 5 39l pei
acre, which is believed to be less THAI
halt the actual value OF such property.
The most mountainous and barren
lands in the State are rated at moi
much less than the average stated
above, while in the greater portion
of West Virginia lands are worth
from $50 to 500 per acre. The
Auditor thinks that a fair valuation
would show the real estate to be worth
not less than $2O0,OOO,0O0. He depre
Gates the present low valuation a:
calculated to give strangers an enron
eous idea of the rate of taxation
thus deterring immigration and invest
ment here. Upon the present valuation

STATE AUDITORS REPORT.
Financial Condition of the State

The State Auditors Report for the
fiscal year ending September 50th, 1871
has come to hand and, as the questions
with which the Auditor has to deal and
the consideration of which makes up
the bulk of this report are of vital inn
portauce 10 the people Of the State, we
publish this morning as full a synopsis
ofthe statements set forth as our space
will permit.
The report is dated January 4th and
opens with the statement that the past
fiscal year ha. been peculiarly uppro'
pitious one for the collection OF reve'
pue. The unusual aud unexpected
decline in the value Of live stock, IN
volved many of our citizens in serious
embarrassment and has had a marked
effect upon the amount OF ta%rS COL
lected. In addition TO this, the term
of office of the sheriffs and collectors
for the year 1870 having expired on tbe
3lst Of December, they were lett without
the resource Of collections for the cur
rent year to supply the deficiencies OF
the last. As consequence, there is a
large amount of the revenue for 1870
due and unpaid by the sherifs.
The following table presents a sum-
mary of the financial transactions of the
wear and the present condition Of the
Treasury, together with an estimate OF
the receipts and expenditures for the
current year:
