that many just claims exist against the State

not be paid for want Of appropriation, which casea
are Justly entitled to Legislative relief; and
Whereas On the other hand many fraudulent
or, at least, improper claims, have been in
years hurriedly passed upon and provided for in.
various general appropriation bills; and
Whereas, While it is but just that oil legitin st6
claims should be promptly liquidatod, it is equally
essential that claims Of every description shoult.
De carefully scrutinized before being passed upon
and
whereas, The law makes it the duty Of the In.
ditor to investigate unliquidated claims against
the State and make recommendations concerning
the same to the Legislature;
Now, therefore, in order to arrive at the trun
merits Of such outstanding claims, and to enable
the Auditor to make the proper recommendations
IN such cases, favoriDg those which are inst and,
rejecting those which are fraudulent parties hay
ing Claims against the State which they desr<,

then 10 the Auditor, together with such vouchers
and proofs az will enable that efcer to ascertain
the merits of the same; and no claim will receive

The entrance to the theatre has also been
much improved in appearance by tasteful
