OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF THE TERRITORY, To the Hon. the Speaker of the House of Representatives : SIR-Owing to my long absence from the Territory on busi ness of a public nature I am prevented from making to your hon. orable body, a detailed report in regard to the amount of scrip is sued in the form required by a resolution passed some time since, calling for the Treasurer's report upon the same subject. I have however examined his report, compared it with the register which was kept by me of the scrip issued, the amount surren dered to him, and the amount outstanding, and find that his report furnishes all the information to the Legislature that I could give them upon the subject. Shortly before my leaving for Wash. ington City, I surrendered to the Treasurer $19,520,30, whichhad been paid by me, and took his receipt for the same, together with a list of the scrip thus surrendered. I was prevented from cancelling it at that time in consequence of the necessity of my leaving for Washington before the season became so advanced as to prevent my travelling. Since my re. turn I have compared the scrip that he has reported to you, and find it to be the same in amount and description with that surrendered. It will be perceived that the amount surrendered to the Treasurer fell short of the appropriation I received from the Treasury Department, some four hundred and eighty dollars, but that difference was made up in the payment of claims for which individuals refused to take scrip. Three of the members of the last Legislature, to wit: Messrs Tripp, Dewey and Sutherland, declined taking scrip and were paid upon their certificates, which amounted to some seven hundred dollars. In regard to the amount of scrip issued to me, and placed in my hands to pay interest on bonds, being thirty five hundred dollars. I beg leave to state as near as I can arrive at the amount, I have paid out thirty-three hundred dollars, leaving in my hands a balance of two hundred dollars yet to be applied to that purpose. The interest on bonds issued by the Territory for Legislative expenses amounts to six thousand dollars, leaving a balance yet due, of interest for which no scrip has been paid, of some twenty five hundred dollars. I will endeavor as early as possible, to make out a more detailed report in regard to both these subjects for the information of both branches of the Leg. islature. I beg leave most respectfully to ask your honorable body to take into consideration this duty imposed upon me by the Legis. lature, of issuing scrip, registering it, paying it out, redeeming it, and cancelling it, was a most arduous and difficult task, that it was an extra service and that the compensation allowed was wholly inadequate and insufficient, and that it is but just that such additional allowance be mado to me proportional to the du ties I have thus performed. I have the honor to be, sir, Your obedient Servant, 1 INDEX. A. ASSEMBLY, LEGISLATIVE- When and where held, 3, 219. ACCOUNTS, presented and referred- Bigman, Nelson 175. Bird, Win. D. 177. Bird, I.
