finance measures, but deyotes considera
bic space to the finance affairs Of the
State. He says the reports OF the Auditor
and Treasurer not having been submitted,
il Ia impossible for me to state with cer-
tainty the fiscal operations OF the govern.
ment during the past year. j shall not
therefore attempt 10 do 70. However,
from information which has been con.
veyed to NE, 1t seems the belief may be
Justly entertained that all the warrants
Issued for the year 1877 will be paid from
the collections made during the year. The
bonded debt is stated fully in the report
OF the Board OF Liquidators, which has
been duly made. By II you will
see that the total consolidated in-

shall have been completed will be SILL.

paid interest coupons due January, 1874,
and prior, aud the outstanding interest
warrants, amounting IN all TO about
100000; nor does 1t include the bonds
commonly known as property bank
bonds, which the Board have decided to
be not properly fundable. There are u
certain number Of interest coupons, ma.
tured in past years, which are unpaid,
the amount Of which | am not able, for
the reasons given, TO state with precision.
Theae coupons were not paid owing TO an
insufficient collection OF the revenue for
those years and necessarily q claim
against uncollec,ed interest tax for snch
years, which as II is collected Is applied
10 their extinction. Could they be con.
stitutionally funded into consols and thus
retired 1t would be measure Of wisdom,
but this It seems under the constitution
Is impossible, and they must therefore
be provided for in some other way. The
assessment for the year will be between
Sl76,0O0,000 and Sls0,000,0O0. The In:
terest on consolidated bonds is to be paid
from levy Of Eve and one.hslt mills on
that amount. In consequence Of the ab-
straction OF the books from the Auditor's
office it becomes impossible to learn the
debt, and the tirat step 70 be taken on the
subject Is 70 ascertain It's amount, cnat.
