The said bill was then returned to the Senate.
Mr. Kennedy from the Committee on Ways and Means offered
the following
REPORT.
The Committee of Ways and Means to whom was referred so
much of the Governor's Message as relates to the finances of the
State, beg leave to report:
That they have had the subject under careful consideration and
investigation, and are happy to give the assurance to the House
of the prosperous and encouraging condition of the finances of
the State. By reference to the Comptroller's Report, it will be
seen that the receipts into the Treasury during the year, including
a balance of $378,123.98, left over from the previous year, amount,
ed to $1,578,123.98, and the disbursements to $985,964.53, leav-
ing remaining in the Treasury at the end of the year, applicable
to future demands, the sum of $592,922.03.
There was received into the Treasury during the fiscal year
1855, on account of the Sinking Fund, the sum of $263,025.87,
all of which sum was, during the same period disbursed in in-
vestments for the use of that Fund. The amount of Stock stand-
ing to the credit of the Sinking Fund on the 30th of September,
1854, was $3,158,637.63, and the amount added during the year
1855, was $268,112.42, so that the aggregate value of the Stock
standing to the credit of that Fund at the close of the year 1856,
was $3,426,749.95. At the close of the fiscal year 1855 the ag-
gregate of the Public Debt was $15,132.909.
Of this amount the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
pays the interest upon $3,000,000; the Susquehanna and Tide-
water Canals furnish the means for paying the interest of $1,000,-
