There was considerable extra expense incurred in providing the assessor's and collector's Offices last year which will not be necessary this year. Expense account It cost the county 0 to provide the assessor and collector with the abstract maps required by law and to make them ready for the assessment and colleatioii of ls'.J2. They probably can be brought up to .'an. 1, 1893, at an expense of $1300, thus making a saving of $5,527.70 in this matter. An appropriation of $1500 was Bade to the Irrigation congress and is in the nature of an extraordinary expense. I estimate there will bo a decrease of 400 in the expense for office furniture. So that, the expense account will probably show a de-crease of $7.,r)0t. The appropriations to the court house and laud account Will depend upon the progress of the city and county building. If the county proceeds with the proposed additions to the Infirmary, there will be an increased expense here. It is now impossible to estimate how much uf the county's revenno will be absorbed by sales to the probate judge account delin-quent taxes, but the increase amounting to (7B97.91, in 891, was so great that prob-ably the amount in 18112 will exceed that of 1891. Prison account This, like the pauper ae-count, can not be estimated, but probably will increase with the population. Belief account does not vary much from year to year. Compensation Account There was an in-crease uf 9,S9G.5H in 1891 in tliis account. if this amount 4751 was made necessary by the law of 1890 providing for taking the cen-sus and collecting statistics. It cost that amount to de this work. There was an in-crease of $500 in the salary of the assessor attd Of $375 in that of the collector. There was an increase of salary lo the sheriff of $370.30, ami the Increase will amount to $1200 during 1W2. The salary of the fish and game commissioner was increased $50. The appropriation to the surveyor for 1891 shows an increase of $1123.70 over 1890. The. salary of the other officers has the same. The pay of officers not salaried varies with the number of days service rendered. Therefore, unless tho legislature repeals or modifies the. law re-quiring statistics to be collected and the census to be taken, no great change will be looked for in this account. Then if the work on roads necessitate no outlay greater than that of 1891, there will be a decrease about as follows: BoadS S 852.85 Scwcr 8,832.88 Jail 1112.80 Expense 7,500,00 Total l7.5'W.Oo! Thus the court may expect about 117,000 from these sources, as compared with 1891, to be applied to the extraordinary expense which will arise through building. Respectfully, (J. V.. ALLEN, Clerk.

An analysis of the appropriations will show where the court may expect a decrease or increase during 1892. There were appropriations in 189 to road account to the amount of $4023.23, which were to meet hills Incurred in There are now piiicl or on tile in this office claims for work done in 1891 amounting to $4070.38. This would leave a balance in faveV of ap-propriations to this account in 1892 of (853 85 If no more work is done on road-tha- n has been done during the year Just ' losed, The appropriations for Inquests will not vary greatly. There will he no appropriation to sewer account, as (feet work finished, thus effect, ing saving of $8332.81). The chief expend: in the jail account was rendered necessary by connecting Hie same with tin main sewer. If there arc only the Usual expenses for repairs, the appropriation j to this account ought not to exceed $300, a decrease of 1913,80. In the pnuper and insane ai count tiie pense cannot be estimated, as the cost of re-lieving the needy depends upon so many contingencies which cannot be foreseen. But eerttimly no great increase need l. up prehended If times remain fairly good. Criminal expense cannot increase much under the present law. though the appropriation for stationery, books and supplies for offices must gr'ov with the population and consequent Increase uf business. I do not apprehend that there aV pub".- - roads an the most costly it.v- t HK tit n ), o;,!.. mi, mak . It in a remarkable "Tact that our system of preparing and mend-in-roads is 110 improvement on the syslt'iu which prevailed centuries ago. 1 recommend that appropriations made fur public roads be expended under the immed-iate supervision of the county surveyor. Militia Law. On November 20, I8M, I addressed a Idler to the secretary of war asking what amount of money was placed to the credit of Utah under tin; provision, of sections loul ami 1807 of Die revised statutes, and the luws amending the same, and received ill reply a letter (exhibit Id.) inform lug me that then-Ma-now due rJT5.H57.o5 of which amount li'.i,"i27.0!l is available for the procure-ment of ordnance and ordnance store-- , ami $552!.'.iti f, r ordinance or quartermaster stores. No allotment Ins been made to the territory since June HO, 18rl'.. because of the larirc amount now to her credit During the past two years the young men of Salt Lake t'ity, Ogdcn and other cities have manifested a commendable. Interest In the organization of militia companies aiidgtjrliuvc been urged to recommend tin- passage of a militia law, which I now do. I believe that such a law would be well receiver1, by the people. It would Serve the useful purpose of giving to the young an opportunity to pass He ir time in a pleasant and Instructive way and also to promote feeling of patriotic pride. Among the attractions detdeSd upo at the formal opening (if the WiirldUfaijirSnldlng in Oc-tober, 1892, is ininfypitradc, composed of the flower of tin- regular aniiv, and of the -- late militia. If il is desired Unit I'bih be represented on this occasion suitable provi-sion will have to be made at this time. Foreign Bnildug and Loan Associations, I recommend the passage of a law leijuir. iug foreign loan and Liulding associations doing business In the territory to deposit such "an amount of money or securities a9 will in your judgment be sufficient to pro. tcct the luterests of local stockholders. During (he past two years agents have been selling throughout the territory shares of stock itt foreign associations. I am Ilia! (jnite a large amount of stock lia been subscribed upon conditions which have aot been in.'! by the compauics, and in many cases the money paid upon the stock has been lost Arbor Hay. I renew (he recommendation made in my lust message for the passage of au act tiie governor to appoint annually a day to qe known as "ArbOf44)ay," and lo recommend by proclamation the. people the planting of trees and shrubbery on such 'bu s. Our forests are rapidly disappearing it'd uoleat w e avail ourselves of the. oppor-tunity of planting others the time will soon come when we shall realize our loss both ill a sanitary and economical point of view. There is nothing Unit contributes more to the beauty of the landscape than trees and shrubbery, and I ho people should take a pride in adding in this profitable and useful way to the beauty of our valleys. It is un-1.- essarwsfor ine to call attention to the value of forests to an arid country. Deep Water Port on the South Atlantic Const. I submit for your consideration a commu-nication received from tin; national farmers' congress, marked exhibit 10;.j, relating to the advantages of a deep water porMtt! the South Atlantic coast, and making an appeal to the different slates and territories for their aid in inttucnolttR congress to make an ap-propriation to commence the work. Contagious Diseases Among Fruit Trees. For Hie purpose of preventing the spread of contagious diseases among fruit aud fruit c. iriy defined powers, sufficient tajBHeJ them ti, adjust iuoyualitics in the mcnt between the counties, and that ti assessment of railroads, telegraph and teb phone lines be made by them, I'nder the present system there exists almost as many di tier ideas of the valuation of such prop-er v as there are assessor- - to pass upon it. rfy referring to the letters received from the ount v assessors and collectors, marked exhibit 11, it will be seen lhat the question of the stock which ranges in this and adjacent -- lutes and territories and. also, the methods of assessing and collecting the taxes on territorial herds of stock, la worthy of your consideration. There are other questions of interest raised by them which ar fully set forth In their letters, mainly the Dei easily of authorizing the count ies lo levy a higher tax for county purposes, the ne-cessity of a grazing law, etc. Hoard of HqtiHlIz ll ion. The board of equalization will submit to Jour body a report setting forth in full de tail the Information they have been able to gather during the past two years. It was unfortunate for the territory that tin powers of tiie board w ere limited by the provisions Which prohibited thetD from increasing the Slim of the whole uruH'Ssmcnt of the territory. This practically defeated the Intention of the law. The board has visited every county in the territory but two, and has done excellent Work. I recommend the creation of a per-manent board, equlpjped " itlt ample power to correct Inequalities wherever they may exist. t'ayment of Wnrrants. Section 27 of the Compiled laws of isxs provides that warrants drawn b the auditor f the treasurer shall be paid in the order of their presentation. If there is no money to Jay the warrant tin auditor must register it pay it in the order of its registration. This proviMon of the law is practically lefoatea by section 303S which provides that Auditor's warrants shall be received h.v the eonnty collectors in payment of territorial tsxes. The 'treasurer Informs me that Marly every t'OUeeto' returns territorial Warranti. with tho remittances ami (argu amount of unr: jl red warrants have thus been paid in advance of the registered war-rants. ThU has worked a great hardship to the territorial Institutions. Ther registered, but were denied the Intended boneflta. The territory has been the grcate-- t sufferer. Its public Institutions havo paid large sums for interest on borrowed money. I recommend QSh A chngu us will Insure the payment of Warrauls bl the order of their registration. Payment oT ,orors and t':tnss Fees. M the lost session of tlio ItaHdaturg (he sum of 175.000 was appropriated to pay the fees of jurors, w itness, etc., for the years WOO and 1891: BeeauM of the wording of law the treasurer deemed it to he his duty to pay tile entire appropriation from the lirot year's luxes. The result wui that other war-rut- s to the amount f (87,500, which might hatfe been paid in 1MK) had to be carried over to 1891, and some are still unpaid. It would he well lo guard against a similar Working of the law this session. Hanking Law. Tim banking law provide - lhat the amount which any one office! of a bank may borrow shall be limited to 110,000, In my lad tnes sage 1 called attention to tiie fact that in case of .n hank having only 2.i,00l capital, three officer.) could exhaust the cntl.'O cap-ital. I again recommend lhat the amount which may li borrowed by the officers of a bank be, limited to ouc-tout- b of the amount subscribed 1 nine renew my reabmmehd&tlori that the powers and .'.uthis of a bank examiner be clearly set forth," tious, who are anxiously seeking so way by which they can honorably a living.

The pro. perity of a people largely depends upon the condition oi the dependent classes, and we will serve our territory well by doing all i.n our power to better their condition. Pardon Hoard. I recommend the creation of a pardim board to hear and determine the merits if applications for pardons, and to report their ti tidings to the governor for his action. 1 tae number of applications is Increasing rapidly and it is Impossible for the governor to giro to them the time which they require, wce he lo fully investigate every ease. Tho CUff Dwellers. Tn southeastern I'tah can be found mtoty elm dwellings in tin excellent state of pres-ervation. Some have been discovered with-I- n a few miles of Muff City which contain many rare and interesting relies.

In 1890 two persons made a ( '"'fle-lio- n of 250( pieces, which are now being (e-xhibited in the caetr SSjsB Momoriiils to Congress. I recommend that you send memuiialsUo congress upon the following subjects: Pfc. testing against the removal of the Colofsln I'tes from near Duraugo, Colorado, to tagt. In favor of public buildings aud Salt kite and Ogden cities. in favor of ceding to the different staffs and territories the unsold hinds within th'jir borders, chcedting those returned as minc?sj lauds, to ad4jjn developing the water supply ; in the xiuajprt of the public schools and for such ottejBuhlu- put pose as the legislatures of the Sriil states and territories may re-spectively determine. In favor of the. granting lo the terrilery of a suitable site for univcrsitp purposes 0n the western boundary of the Fort Doggim Military reservation. In favor of tho repealing of the alien land law in the territories. I further recommend that the president be requested to withdraw from entry the hind which surrounds the sourfe of our mountain streams, In conclusion 1 congratulate you in the name of the people you reptescnt on the prosperous condition of our territory. We have before us the prospeft that the un-happy differences of the pa,t will soon dis. appear, to he followed by a Rappy blending of all Interests in a common iesfre to build up the territory. 1 an, very respectfully, Amiii it L, THosfag, Govornor. trees , and for the prevention, treatment, cure and extirpation of frvit pests, and the dis-eases of fruit and fruit trees, and for the dis-infection of grafts, scions, or orchare debris, empty fruit boxes or packages, or other material or transportable articles dangerous to orchards, fruit and fruit trees, I recommend that the bourd of directors of the Dcseret Agricultural and Manufacturing society be authorised to suggest regulation-- , which shall be circulated in printed form by the board among the fruit growers affd fruit dealers of the territory, and that a viola-tio- n of these regulations be made a misde, meanor. There was a time when the fame of the fruit of Salt Luke orchards was known all over tho country. Too Value of our fruit cron in the more thickly settled s has been largely ifeerrased by insect pests. There are localities in Utah which the-- e pests have not yet reached, and it is possible that by proper regulations they mat be kept away altogether, and finally disappear from the territory. Contagious Discuses Among Horses, Cat-tle, F.tc. am Informed that Hie stock breeders would welcome the passage of a law provid-ing suitable regulations to prevent the spread of contagious diseases among horses, ( little, sheep, etc. The live stock interests of Utah nre of great importance, and de-serving of protection.

It is said that Hie cost of settlement of these small estates is a very heavy tax, and fre-quently requires, iii order to meet it, Unit something lie saerilled which is necessary to Hie Iiittititainance of the family. It represented that the inability In meet the costs has resulted in keening a large number of estates from being settled, or from being probated. It is also suggested that the office of public administrator lie Created, Among the other recommenda-tions of the probate judges arc: That pro. bate judges he paid a salary; that sheep and cuttle be prohibited from grazing near -- Ileum- from which the water is taken for domestic uses; that all election.-- be held on one day: that the terms of selectmen be fixed tit three years, one to he elected annu-ally; that probate judges lie given supervi-sion of county affairs; that an irrigation law be passed which will piovidc a way bv which the right to the use of water call be acquired, and for recording and determining existing rights; thai the estrtty laws be amended, especially tho provision which a person to retain possession of an animal for twenty-fou- r hours ; that the pro-bate laws be compiled; that selectmen be paid a salar.i that county courts be given Jurisdiction over water-shed- that county-ho authorized to issue bonds, and that county courts be authorized to increase the tax levy for county purposes beyond the iimit now Used by the law.

The working of the present lien law is said to be unsatisfactory. I do not know whether any law can be passed 011 this subject which will give gem nil satisfaction, but it is pus. slide the present law may he amended in such a way as lo afford better security lo contractors, mechanics and Wboten and ma-teriel men. Homo Manufactures. The law passed at the last session of t lie "legislative assembly authorizing the pay- ment of bounties to the manufacturers of sugar, iron and rope or twine expired by limitation on December 31, Is'.ll. urge the passage of a similar law with a wider scope. I believe the people of the tcrr'tory will approve any art ion by you that will encourage utul promote the" develop. ' mcnt of home industries. The great sugar factory at Lebi, though it has been in opera, tion only one season, has shown the import- - am c of pursuing a policy that will promote like cnterpris, - in other portion- - of the tcr- - ritory. 1 believe all our citizens feci a just pride in the en rgetlc aflft enter) rising work of Hie builders of the factory. Our territory has been abundantly blessed by nature with natural wealth, .mi that we heed i to encourage a home poliei that will secure Its development.

It was supposed then that the au-thority granted was broad enough to em-power the city government to revoke a li cr me when It appeared to them there had been i. palpable violation of the terms on which the license had been granted. Some controversy has recently nrincti as to the lights of the city council iu this respect. tilcrefoie recommend that '.lie law be amended so as to authorize ihe council to revoke the license of u:iy person who run v scl1 liquor contrary to the icrms of a lici itse granted, or the ordinances of the city, I also tecommeud that the sale, serving, or giving away of liquors lie prohibited 111 Hi or concert hulls or any like plan- of public umo-- , nient.

Their should Iso be a stricter enforce-ment of the law which prohibits the sale of liquou to minors. will approve a law authorizing and directing the. city council lo revoke the license of any person convicted of violating tills law. and prohibiting the Issuing of h liceuso after a second convtc-- I tion. 1 do not believe this provision of the.: . law has received the attention which II from the public authorities. Public KolKls. In my last message I urged the Import-anc- e of having better public roads through- - out the territory. 1 again refer to the mat-ter, not only in the interests of Hie traveling public but moie particularly in the interests r tin- farming class w ho are worthy of all the aid we call give thctn in this respect. A bap public road entails upon the farmer a daily and increasing Iobs iu th,. waste ,,f power uecessar) to haul produce to market, ' and the wear ami tear of thefurm wagon ami machinery. On well constructed public roads with a smooth surface horses will move more rapidly und haul heavier loads. "; r 1 3OCnX vosuW oJtfttn--c aL, I t 5 cs y r tfc -- - y SALT LAKE DOCTORS.

To Modify the Law f Garnishments will be Ottered Soon, i I The Provo DUpatch says: "The Off tm Muii has it on seemingly good authority t iat 'one bill which will be introduced early t i is session of the legislature is one to modify the law relating to garnishment-- . As he statutes are at present, should a sahu led man fall Into ill circumstances a hardhearted creditor could take every dollar of his cairn, lugs, leaving him With nothing on whien to live. This law makes tramps and vagaluhdf of many a well meaning man win, other-wise would do well in the w.irld and a good citizen. It is well known lhat railroad and telegraph eompjaflM and other corporations will not employ a man upon whom u i;arn-1- : 'anient Is served, and when this process is served upon any luckless Individual hie Is immediately thrown out of a position. ow, if n law were passed that any employs should have a certain amount exempt Irom this irocess of law, it would gin iabjrlng men, employes, a chance to live and at tho same time pay their debts. Then i no commonwealth in Ihe Union thai can plow be recalled whose laws are so alri. .. mst the laboring man and so unqitalitledi v In favor of the capitalistic class as the Iat of Utah. This ought to be remedied in this particular at least, and thus place L'tali on i minion plane, labor. witJ i the states of the Union. This is B ,, ,,. lion which lias never before received auieli at-tention, but during this legislative seislog the wrong ought to be semedicd."
