PERMANENT TRUST FUNDS
In 1872 all receipts for taxes on railroad
and telegraph companies were set apart as a
special fund for the support OF the state in
stitutlons At that time the amount realized
from these sources was but So, OS7.14. 1t
has now become the principal source of rev.
enue the state enjoys. amounting the past
year to 1851 ,37S.18, largely in excess of the
demands made upon it. II there was once a
efficient reason for reservlng this resource
for special use, it does not row exist, and I
recommend that the law relating thereto be
repealed While there has been for years a
surplus in this fund, the revenue fund, from
which all general expenses of the state are
paid, is constantly overdrawn and a bor-
rover from it. The two funds should be
merged into One and relieve the treasury
from the anomalous condition of plethora
and stringency at the same time, as regards
it's different funds. It will be necessary to
do this before the treasurer can meet the pay
rolls of the legislature, as the soverdraft" OF
the revenue fund has reached the limit
allowed by law. The surplus of the forestry
fund should also be transferred to the rev.
enue fund, as recommended by the auditor.
The additions to the permanent trust funds
OF the state nave been as follows:

they will secure such recognition at your
hands as may be required for their future
best interests and usefulness There has
been moderate increase in the pupils of
each department. the proportion being
largest in the school for the feeble minded
Two hundred and fifty three pupils were in
attendance the past year, divided as fol-
lows: Deaf and dumb, 151; blind,
AZ; and feeble minded, go! A sub.
stantial structure has been added
to the blind institute at cost of 1885,
578: 81, which provides all needed accom-
Inodatlons for years to come. The building
for lmbeciles has also been enlarged to
nearly double its capacity, at cost Of
school reports that while the new building
will accommodate fifty children, the sad
mittance applications" are already eighty
five, and that further accommodations are
lmperatively demanded The board are of
the opinion that two custodial buildings
an estimated cost of $4,000. I am per-
suaded that the work of this school could be
organized upon basis that would produce
Detter results as regards one class of its
pupils. IT separate building could be pro-
vided for them, and therefore recommend
an appropriation of $25 ZOO for that pur-
pose. If due regard to the condition of the
treasury and the wants of other institu-
lions and interests for which the state must
provide, would permit, would be inclined
W LluOHSe Cue Iull Recommendations OF the
board. You cannot, however, respond to all
requests for appropriations without increas-
ing the tax levy, and, in my view, moth
ing but an overshadowing emergency would
warrant you in doing that at this time In
May, 1888, the shops attached to the deaf
and dumb institute were burned, and the
board asks for an appropriation of $40. 900
to replace them. The Industrial training,
which is an essential part Of the education
provided by this school, requires proper
shops for the purpose, and I therefore
recommend that the burned building be sre-
placed: Though no reference to the matter
is made in the report of the directors,
recommend that authority be granted them
to expend sum sufficient to make more Sc
cure the deaf and dumb building from fire.
The dividing stone walls that separate the
structure into divisions should be extended
through the roof, and iron doors placed in
all openings communicating through them
precaution OF this character saved the st.
Peter hospital from total destruction at the
time of the fire in 1880.
The estimate for current expenses for all
the schools will require $74, 800 for 1886,
and $77, 800 for 1887 The expenditures
the past two years were as follows:

effect such repairs as the condition of the

rangement. Our fathers started out by
giving the larger towns two representa-
tves and the smaller towns one. What
was just and right for seven years might
well have been continued indefinitely
The subsequent compact" that each
town should have one representative, was
not "A perpetual agreement that each
should have only one. If we were now to
give each town II representative, and
every one having more than II thousand
voters representative for each additional
thousand, the compact would be unbroken,
for each inhabited town would still have
the right to choose one representative.
We do not expect to live to see the time
when each town in Vermont will not have
its representative. But when the proper
time comes, we shall try to advance some
very good reasons, having relation solely
to the public good, why large town
should have more representatives than Il
very small town.

The town in the State having the small
est grand list are Glastonbury in Benning-
ton county, S405.37; and Somerset in
Windham county, Sil2 SO. The tax now
called for will yield Sl7l ,24O. and will be
paid by the towns directly from the re-
spective town treasures, most of them
having anticipated this call and collected
the tax with their town tax. Such as
have not collected it, or provided for it in
any way are not obliged to collect the
amount separately now, as by the
provisions of the act, assessing the
tax, they can use money on hand,
or borrow the amount necessary
for that purpose on the credit of the town
This provision of the law will save the
trouble and expense of collecting separ-
ately so small a tax and will also enable
immediate payment to be made to the
State treasurer.
The last State tax collected was on the
grand list of lSS2-a tax of ten cents-and
no other State tax will be assessed until
after the session of the legislature of 1886
