The circumstances under which you assemble
could not well be more satisfactory. The condi-

Gus. During the year just ended the products of
our fields have been unusually abundant. Our
manufacturing and mining industries have
yielded good returns. Within the past year
$50 miles OF railway have been built within the
state-a larger number than in any previous
year. OF the ninety-two counties in the State,
there are only four through which railroads do
not pass, and three of these, happily, border on
the Ohio river. More than 225,O0o acres of
land have during the year been brought for the
first time into cultivation. The practice of I'M
derdraining soils charged with an excesslof mOis-

cuted. Along with It has come increased pro-
ductiveness, and a lessening of all malarial dis
eases. Our eommoh schools, under the careful

In conformity TO i requirement contained in
the act Of 1881, concerning the publication OF
the new Revised Statutes, I appointed the gen
tlemen composing the Board OF Revision COM
uIissioners to prepare these statutes for pnbliea-
ton, and to superintend the publication thereof.
The last delivery OF the copies required by law to
be filed In the clerks Offices of the several coun-
ties was made in July, 1889.
The act of 1881 provided thar the commission
ers should hold their position until the first day
of November OF that year, and that 6il- commits
sinners and the Governor should, on the final
adjournment OF the General Assembly, advertise
for bids for the printing ana delivery of the
statutes. a clause required the commissioners
to a~nnOtate the contents of the volume, so as to
show, by proper reference, the time when all
statutes included in the volume went into force.
A literal compliance with the terms of the act
of 1881, with respect TO the time for completing
the work assigned TO the commissioners, ana u
the time for advertising for bids, was found to
be impossible. The work assigned to the COM
misslOners could not, by the utmost labor they
uonld bestow, be completed within the time
prescribed, and no intelligent bid, or bid at all
favorable to the State, could have been expected,
had bids been solicited when then work was in
the lncOmplete condition in which it was mt the
time of the adjournment of the Legislature.
Besides, the volume containing the session acts
of 1881 was so large, on account OF the bills
brought before the Legislature 10y the board for
the revision of the laws, that the printing could
not he completed until a period mnch later than
had been usual in the printing OF session acts.
Hence, the annexation of the time when the acts
passed at n session of 1881 took effect, could not
he made IA early rs the Legislature had con-
templated. When the time fixed for the eNpira-
ton of the offices OF the commissioners arrived,
they, therefore,, from public motives, and at
much personal Inconvenience, continued in the
performance of their labor, without any pro-
vision for further compensation. until the work
contemplated by law had been completed and
the statutes were ready for delivery.
The act of 1881 prescribed with particularly
with what Kind of tyne and in what style the
Revised Statutes should he printed. The CON
tract was let In conformity to the terms OF the
act. Had the volHule, however, been prepared
in that manner, it would have been inoonvenieut
and unstghtly. Fortunately, the contractor was
willing To print the volume in u much better
type, and To bind it in a much more attractive

THE OFFICE OF COUNTY TREASURER
AND COLLECTOR.

will change hanls mex; week. IL may no, be unin-
teresting 10 the readers of TnE CNIoS 10 give
brief accoun; Of the Law under which ihi. official
acts.
Previous to 1876 the county had a collector Of
taxes for each of the thirteen districts who eolec-
ted and paid the taxes over 10 a Treasurer elected
by the people. The expense Of collecting the
taxes under this system amounted ;e abou, S:o..
600 a year II had long been though, that
cheaper anil more expeditions plan nigh, be
adopted. and the p.e,cn, Ias /. the result Of that
conviction. In lSsj the icformers, or potato
bugs" A. they were called. were successful In the
elec,ion, aud the county members in ;he Legis.a
ture Of 1876 secured the passage Of a Law com.
bining the Office Of Treasurer and Collector in one
person. a, salary of S2.SOO year. allowing
variable discount. from 6 to per cent. for the
Promp; payment of taVes. anI transferring. after
specified time. all unsolicited bills to the Sheriff
for collection. This par; Of the Law was amended
in ISIS. making the Treasurer have control Of the
collection Of all taxes. and another amendment
was added the same year making the Treasurer
the collector Of State az we'll as county taxes, no
provision having been made IN the original law
for the collection of State taxes. The salary Of
the Treasurer was increased $500, making Il So.
900. TO compensate him for the collection Of State
taxes.
In l>s" the law was again amended, giving the
collector six months from the first day Of June in
the year succeeding tina, in which the levy Is
made 90 enforce payment. and a asai settlement
is TO be made with the commissioners a; the end
Of two years from the date of each levy.
The las, Legislature amended the Law T. r the
third time, byproSiiing for full and hnal settle
meat between the Treasurer and the County Com.

taxes. The newly elected Treasurer Is required
