Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Committee on Ways and Means on the Subject of the Finances of the State: January 30th, 1847 That they have considered the subject with the deliberation and the anxious care which its importance demands, in order that they might recommend such a course as would best secure the honor and the interests of the State, and do the most effect ive justice to the claims of her creditors. Where such important interests depend on the wisdom and propriety of the steps to be taken, it seemed to the committee that too much caution could not he used in the investigation of the subject, and that to in spire confidence. In their conclusions, it was necessary that they should become acquainted with all the facts connected with the financial condition of the State, that they should take into consideration all contingencies that were at all probable, and care fully weigh every objection, that might reasonably be suggested, to the plan which they had determined to propose. Haste would have been as unseemly in such a case, as procrastination would be dangerous. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
