1884, 1O6.12


On the first day OF January, 1880, the bond
ed debt of this State amounted to the sum of
IS 848, 800 from which, deducting the present
amount of the sinking fund, vi lit. l59, leaves
the present debt at "a ,682 TAI, and for this an
equal amount of coupon or registered bonds
are now outstanding.
There seems to be some misapprehenslon,
the Treasurer says, in relation to the Trust
Funds" held by the Slate, but if subject
IS fully examined it will be found that no
wrong has been done, and that the several
acts and resolves, treating the same, have
bee fully carried out. The Treasurer would
suggest that the Legislature give the matter a
thorough examination.
BY all act approved Feb. "a, 1875, and by an
act to amend said act approved Feb. 81, 1873,
the Treasurer OF State was authorized to re-
new and extend SO much Of the public debt
(S307 900 as matured August Is, 1880. as we'll
as other portions OF the public debt, and as no
part of this debt has been presented for renew
al or extension, provision must be made for
the Payment, provided the holders of said
bonds should not wish to renew or extend. To
meet these bonds at maturity, the Treasurer
would recommend that authority be given the
Treasurer of State to issue proposals for ten
wear loan for the sum of $3O7 900, or s, much
thereof as may be outstanding on the 18th day
of August, 1880.
The wants of the Treasury requiring moro
money than the Treasurer had at his com
mand, he procured under the authority given
in the resolve approved March 3, 1879, the sum
of 1928, 900, and for which he gave five notes
as follows First dated Sept. q, 1879 payable
Jan ~ 1880, for $40, 600; second dated Oct.
u, 1879, payable Feb. q, 1885, for $40, 600;
third dated Oct. 81 1879, payable Feb. q, 1880,
