fused to accept my resignation. | had
4 conversation with DR.. Dunn to-
day, and he desires me TO say that
he made the assertion under 4 miSap-
preheuSiOn OF the facts, rs he knew
nv resignation had been rendered and |
was still in possession OF the property. |
desire to state thai my resignation was
promptly accepted, but the Governor could
not relieve me from the responsibilities
under my bond except by the appoint
ment of successors, and no one could
be found to qualify under the cii-
cumstances: consequently no relief
could be given except by legislative
action. The Governor has shown every
disposition to do all in his power to pro-
tect the interest OF the State in this pro-
perty, but the grelt trouble in the matter
for the past several years has arisen undeG

to this warehouse. rs enacted in chapter
81. page 3i1 of the Acts of lS76'-1, winch,
