Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents Accompanying the Journal of the Senate, of the State of Michigan: At the Annual Session in 1839 I submit statements of the probable receipts and expenses for the year eighteen hundred and thirty-nine the former is estimated at one hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred and seventy two dollars, and the latter at one hundred and twenty-four thou sand seven hundred and seventy-eight dollars. Noninally, the amount of estimated revenue, including taxes due for years eighteen hundred and thirty-six and eighteen hundred and thirty seven, and assessments for the year eighteen hundred and thirty eight, is nearly sufficient to meet the estimated expenses of the state; but as a large amount of the revenue is to be derived from taxes alone, and as the taxes already due are probably from non-resident lands, and as the assessments for eighteen hun dred and thirtya-ei ht will not reach the treasury till quite late in the year, and perfiaps be subject to the same contingency the receipt of taxes heretofore has been, delay in the collections and transmissions to this office, I would respectfully suggest, in order to obviate the difficulty which this department will labor under, for want of funds, that temporary loans be made from our banks for a length of time sufficient to enable the taxes already due and coming due, for eighteen hundred and thirty-eight, to be made available to the treasury. The collection of the amount due from taxes for the years eighteen hundred and thirty-six and eighteen hundred and thirty-seven, may be much facilitated, by so amend-s ing the Revised Statutes. Relating to the return of delinquent taxes to the Auditor General's office, and the issue of state stocks by the State Treasurer, that the taxes due previous to the adaption of the revised code may be included; by which means the state will. From the sale of its stock, in all probability, be put in funds at a much earlier period than by the ordinary mode of collections and transmissions through the several county treasuries public con venience will also be promoted, and the treasury be more speedily replenished to the amount now due from that source.
