In the above paragraph I averred
the practicability of. hoHrowiirg mo
ney in advance of taxes, provided a
sijiceni ' in y should be 'made. 1 also
urged the expediency of the prompt
passage of such a hill. A few days
thereafter on the 2Sth day of No
vember,1 1SGS, I reported such a bill
and-. -recommended its immediate
consideration. This bill, while fram
ed to carry out the provisions of the
Constitution requiring the taxation
of all real and personal property ac
cording to value, also was designed
to fairly rate incomes, privileges and
licenses, as the Constitution permits.
Doubtless the oill has defects, but its,
prompt consideration with the view

or removing sucn detects,
passage' of that or a siniilar one, would
have enabled me lo have avoided the
great evil of not paying the January
interest.

In my opinion, it will still bo nccei

If it be deemed that tho powers grunt
cd mo in tho bill heretofore proponed
were too great, let amendments bo of
fered making such restriction a.i will,
in your view, guard tjie public interest.
It Is necessary not only to provide tho
sum sufficient to pay the January iu
torest. but nl? that to become duo on
tho 1st of April.
; Money is liknwisj needed to carry

It is with the deepest pain that I
am compelled to report' that h was
found vtteiiy imjossibIe to j raise
money to pay the interest on the
Public Debt dne January 1st, lS(i9.
Every effort was made to borrow the
money needed, about $30o,000i both
in this State and in Kew Yorlv, but

addition to the general creiltt of the
State given 'mo by the General As-

the Public Treasurer to supply tem
porary deficiencies jn the treasury,"
ratified 21st, December, 'A. D. l SOS,
was to pledge the sum? amount. from
the taxes firs't thereafter recei .'able.
The same power was conferred under
"An Act to provide lor the payment
of the interest of the lawful debt of
the State," ratified '4-Qih- August,
1 SoS. I could not induce capitalists
to consider this pledge sulficient, be
cause no tax bill hasj been passed ad
equate to the emergency. TheUle'v
enue Act now in force is only cal
culated to produce about SGOO.OOO.
As of course the State government
must be supported, requiring jiiore
than this amount, it is abuudantfy
evident that the security of taxes to
be received under this act is yery
rncagro, aud capitalists so believinr
refused to advance their funds. '
