 Mir. Speaker and Members of the Twenty Ninth General Assembly:
 Your committee appointed to look after the records now lying on the cellar floor under this hall beg leave to submit the following report:
 That upon examination we find that many books of records, which, in our opin- ion, were very valuable, are lying upon the ground, and are so decayed as to be illegi- ble, the amount of damage to the tax payers your committee sayeth not, but will say that negligence of the grossest kind is very evident in the care of the said records. We would recommend that the second hand carpeting, together with other things of value, not needful to the state, be sold by the secretary of state and the proceeds placed to the credit of the state, and that said secretary of state cause to be erected in said cellars sufficient amount of shelving to place the said records in more secure keeping etc.
