Governor's Message Recaps State Prosperity and Finances
The Governor addresses the Senate and House praising health harvests and prosperity while detailing state finances. He notes total state debt of 622 295.75 dollars with loans from School Fund 122 295.75, 1858 loan 200 000, and 1861 war loan 300 000. He recommends reserving funds to redeem bonds, preserving the School Fund as permanent debt, reforming delinquent tax collection, and boosting revenue collection through county treasurers and stricter account audits. He cites 300 000 dollars owed by the United States for war expenses and difficulties in securing adjustment at Ashington.
