find it to be the same in amount and description with that sur

rendered.

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 Legislature.

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 made to me proportional to the du ties I have thus performed.

I have the honor to be, sir,

Your obedient Servant,

A. P. FIELD.
