AUDITOR : U FICE,,
STATE or WEST VIRGINIA.



made by the State:
AUDiToE's OFFICE.
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA,
WHEELING, January 81, 1855,
To tie Hon. Thomas IL. Dennis,
Speaker Of the House:
In response to inquiries contained in a
resolution adopted by the House of Dele
gates on Wednesday last (January 2S,) |
submit the following statement;
|. The sum of Sill, 100 paid to banks
since October |, 1854, was not paid out Of
any specific appropriations made for that
purpose. This sum was made up of loans,
obtained from banks upon short times as
the wants of the State required, and always
in anticipation of the revenue. 1t having
been repeatedly held that the act which con-
fers the power to borrow implies that pay
ment may be made Of the sum borrowed
when it becomes DUE it was necessary to
agree 10 pay at specific time otherwise
the State would have been unable to borrow
any money at all.
2. Such payment was not made out oil
any surplus remaining in the treasury aris-
ing from an excess Of the total receipts al
the treasury for the fiscal years 1884 over
the actual expenses for those years, but vas
paid from moneys in the treasury applicable
10 the payment Of general charges upon the
treasury-in other words, it was paid out OF
tbe State fund in the treasury at the date Of
such payment.
;. The estimate Of expenses Of the State
contained in the Auditors report, for
1856, covers the amounts believed to be
necessary to defray the current expenses Of
the State, and does not include any sums
which were temporarily borrowed. Whether
or not it will be necessary to borrow during
these two years depends entirely upon the
aggregate amount Of appropriations If the
appropriations made for the year 1885 do
not exceed in the aggregate the amount
estimated in the Auditors report, the sum
to be borrowed will be very much less than
$lll,760.
1t may not be improper to state in this
connection that there has not been year
since 1875 in which loan was not required
to be made, and this will continue to be the
case unless there is change either in the
date Of the commencement Of the fiscal
year, or in the time of the payment of rev.
enue into the treasury. As the law now
stands, the fiscal year begins October |, and
appropriations for the year are available at
that date, while the first payment upon
taxes collected is not required to be made
by Sherifs until the 10th Of January fol-
lowing.
There being no considerable balance on
hand at the beginning Of the fiscal year
October lst), the State is compelled to be-
gin the year and meet the expenses during
the period from October l to January 20
without any receipts of any consequence,
from the collecting officers, who are not
required 10 make their first payment until
the last named date (January 20).

Auditor.

/ government be removed. temporarily. to the
!, sid eitE and. sa. STA
!. whtresAeIt sppeass TO the Legislature
that the capitol OF the State should be locat-
ed at more. accessible and convenient
point; therefore
Be Il enacted BY the Legislature OF West
Yirginia-- Cos g..
Thai on and after the expiration Of nine
~ DAYS from and after the passage OF this
act until hereafter otherwise provided BY
law, the seat of government Of the State OF
West Virginia shall be st the city OF Wheel
ing.
The Governor is hereby authorized to
cause suitable accommodations to be pre-
pared in the city Of Wheeling for the sew
eraI departments OF the State Government,
including the Legislative, Executive and
Judicial departments, and 70 remove thei eto
and cause to be properly placed and
arranged the books, papers and movable
property now in the city Of Charleston be
longing to the general State Offices, includ-
ing the State library, the said Henry K.
List, Michael Reilly, John Mcclure George
W. Franzbeim and Simon Horkheimer
agreeing to indemnify the State against the
expenses thereby incurred.
By virtue OF the above act, the seat OF
government WAS removed TO the city OF
Wheeling, and the Capitol building was
taken possession of by the State. 1t is the
opinion of the committee that the Legisla-
ture at tie time of the passage Of the act
expected to have the use Of the Capitol
building
WITHOUT ANY COST WHATEVER
TO the State, and that was in great measure
the consideration and inducement for re-
moving the seat Of government to the city
of Wheeling, and Influenced, no doubt, the
members OF the Legislature to vote for the
passage Of the act.
We think, however, from q number OF
statements made to this committee, that 1t
may have been the belief of those who
agreed to furnish the Capitol building
to the State, free of any cost
that the State would properly take
care Of the building and keep it in repair,
and to that end, two bills have been intro.
duced, one in the Senate for $4,000, and
one in the House for $4,000. The mem
bers of the joint committee, after mature
consideration, have come 10 the conclusion
that there ought to be reasonable appro-
priation made to put the building in repair:
We have made complete examination OF
the building from top to bottom, and a ma
ority of the committee are Of the opinion
that the estimate by Messrs. ]. D. MeFadden
and Charles r. Hamilton, short time ago
is too large and excessive, and doubt the
propriety Of allowing some of the items.
At the request of two of the members
of the committee, hewever, we append the
estimate made By the said McFadden 4
Hamilton, which aggregates the sum of
81, 600.
1t is true that we are not experts, still the
votes of majority of the committee Is that
10000 would be very liberal expendi-
ture and sufficient to place the building in
good order and condition.

The Creek Bank Fails in all Directions,

The mild weather of the past thirty,six
hours aided by the steady rain of yesterday
and last night resulted in loosing the icy
letters which had bound the creeks and
small streams heresbouts for two or three
weeks past, and last evening they were rag.

Indian Wheeling Creek, at Bridgeport, ran
out with great violence during the after
noon, the heavy ice being driven
clear across the river and up against
the Island shore. No damage of
consequence was done, however. Wheeling

spd at midnight last night was running at
rhe rsle of six or eight miles an hour. Out

this city and GAINESVILLE the streams were

TIE ASSOCIATION.

The report sent broadcast over the coun-
try from Youngstown that the officers Of the
Amalgsmsted Association had met in Pitts
burg and decided TO send a resolution to all
the lodges to accept or reject reduction OF
ten cent. turns out TO be without the slight
est foundation. Secretary Martin Yesterday
said the report was incorrect, inssmueh as
the time for a general consideration Of the
scale question had not arrived. lie said,
however, that the association was
ROW in receipt Of propositions from the diff
ferent lodges in reference to next year
scale, but no scale has been presented for
the consideration Of all the lodges.
In conversation with REGISTER reporter
last night, prominent iron worker said ::
II am decidedly in favor of reduction. A
good many Of our men think the AssOcis.
ton is never doing its duty unless 1t L,
kicking for an advance in the rate OF wage,
or conducting some other species OF
WARFARE on rHE MANUFACTURERS.
Now, my idea Of the Association is that
it should always seek to DO what is best for
the interests Of the majority Gifts members
As a general thing, our interests are ad
yanced by raising the scale Of prices but
this rule is not an absolute one, and just now,
II ! am not mistaken, a reduction Of wages
would advance our interests insuring our
men steady employment. We all know
that the iron nail manufacturers cannot
compete with the steel nail, with
its present price of pudding,
and it is very improbable that
we can succeed in raising the scale on
steel nails, and, much as dislike to advo-
cate it, l can see no way out ofthe present
trouble except By cutting down the present
scale. know some have an idea that the
steel rail can not be killed off By reduc-
ton in pudding, but believe the iron
men can down it by pursuing the course l
and others advocate If iron nails can be
bought cheaper than steel ones, the
d1mand for the latter is bound to fall of"
Of course the above is merely an indiyi-
dutl expression of opinion and is not uni
yers ,lly accepted as being correct. But
what 'yer is done in the premises it is sim
cerely hoped that it will be to the interest
Of all concerned, especially the iron workers

seems to be that even should such reduc-
ton be agreed upon, the manufacturers
would not accept il, as it would not pay
them to do so after going to the expense
and trouble Of making arrangements for
the manufacture Of steel nails, and
the probability Is that the production
Of steel nails cannot in any way be squelch-
ed. II looks very much ike the steel nail
had come to stay, and no concession on
the part of the boilers can force it to the
val.
As eliDeher to this fact it is suthorita-
lively stated that as soon as the weather
viii permit work viii be resumed upon the
Benwood steel plant, and it will be rushed
to rapid completion, and the probability is
that other mills will follow suit. Another
ruuor says that the day is not far distant
when the Riverside Company viii remove
all their works from this place to BenWood
to site near their steel plant, so that the
price of production will be greatly lessened,
OF course, while this latter assertion is not
directly connected with the matter under
consideration, yet it goes to show that the
Riverside Company has determined to stick
to the steel nail.
