$70O, COZ. on which it pays an annual inter
est of $4,000. The debt is caused by ths
cree ion of an insane asylum and terrific
rial university, and several roads. Gov
Zllick, after q thorough investigation, re-
ported on the debt as follows: "rhe enor.
nous increase Ct the debt by bonds and
appropriations may be properly character
izsd as useless and extravsgant legislation
wanton misrepresentation Of pubic funds
60 pur poses from which the people derive
no corresponding benefit. The insane OF
the territory are cared for at the asylum at
Stockton, Cal, for IS per week, each patien'
| which is much less than We could keep thenl
ourselves, hkd we the asylum built. We
| squire neither university nor normal
school. The wagon road and bridge bonds
are the property of the county, and not
territorial charges. The appropriation for
Che expenses for the las territorial assembly
in EXCESS of congressional appropriations
for that purpose, are, In my udgment, in
clear violation of the federal statutes. We
have debt, when the appropriations of
the last assembly are provided f,r, of uesr.y
500. 600, upon which che territory must pay
an annual interest Of over $4,000, result
CT recklessness and extravsgancs Of the
legislature.
