Governor Vance’s Message Urges Statewide Reforms
Governor Z. B. Vance appeals to North Carolina lawmakers for uniform county government, tax accountability, and expansion of education and science. He supports a Department of Agriculture, Immigration and Statistics, an experimental station, fishery enhancements, a university linked normal school system, and prison reform, urging rapid action before the next session. He emphasizes improving public morality, supporting infrastructure like western railroads, and handling state debt prudently to foster renewed prosperity in 1877.
