State Notes Destroyed Reducing Circulation to 550000
State notes issued under the 1866 act were counted and destroyed in the presence of Sam Smithh and Alexander Brother, reducing circulation from two million to about 550000. Reported receipts and current warrants total 50000, now in sheriffs’ ends under State Treasurer control, with taxes for 1867 totaling 1,100,000. Critics urge fiscal restraint and economy, urging lower salaries and fewer officers to avoid increasing debt.
