Whereas, an act of the Legislature of this State, authorizing an appropriation for the completion and furnishing of the State House
at Springfield, approved January 12th, 1839, requires that all orders of the treasury issued in
favor of the State House Commissioners shall be deposited by them in the State Bank.
And whereas, the said Commissioners by the same act are required to make orders or checks on
said Bank (to the amount of said orders so deposited) in favor of “all persons to
whom money may be due.” Therefore
Be it resolved, That the said Commissioners without delay, furnish this House with a statement of the aggregate amount of all orders and checks by them made in
conformity to said act upon said Bank, and accompany said statement with a list of the names of all persons, in favor of
whom said orders and checks have been made, and the items of consideration for which
the same were given with the verifying vouchers.
