State of the commonwealth and public works policy
The report reviews debt reductions and funded and floating obligations, notes no sale offers for the state public works, argues for keeping them as public highways with strict terms, and defends the value of railroads and tonnage taxes while warning against poor sales. It calls for reforms in currency, banking, and school systems, praises public institutions, and urges a monument to the Declaration of Independence with state support.
