[Endorsed on back: "Treasurer's Report recd and laid upon the Table."]

To the honorable Legislative Committee of Oregon

I have the honor gentlemen, to make my Report as Treasurer of Oregon. But, in the meantime, permit me to remark that, the Revenue which has come into the Treasury, will fall very far short of meeting the demands against it; and without more efficient means, or otherwise, more judicious legislation, this little Government will find itself involved in such a manner as to require a series of years to unfetter its wheels.
