Resolved, That the Board of Public Works be requested to furnish to this House, at as early a period as practicable, information as to the probable amount of money
which may be necessary over and above the present liability of the State, for work done, to complete and put in operation all such work as has been contracted
in continuous lines, from navigable rivers in this State.
1Jesse M. McCutchen introduced the resolution in the House of Representatives on December 12, 1839, and the House adopted it. On December 23, the Board of Public
Works responded, and the House referred the communication to the Committee on Internal
Improvements.
