Description

This report was presented by Comptroller Joel Riggs to the legislature. In it, he documents the financial condition of the state, listing receipts and disbursements to and from the state treasury. In addition to the detailed narrative, he also includes eight tables of itemized expenditures and taxes collected. Of particular interest are Statement No. 4 ("Showing the amount of gross tax assessments in the several counties in the State . . . "), which reports the amount each county paid to the "Slave fund," and Recapitulation No. 7 ("Showing the total taxable property, real and personal, in the State . . ."), which includes data on the numbers of enslaved people, "free negroes and free mulattoes," and "white males" in each county.
