for the sum of §l,‘3t)0,000. on. annual interest
from the ad day of September, r179". The debt
rested on p'erso'nal security. In the year 1801,’:
the number of bonds‘ had increased to 239, most.

At or near this period, the state relinquished twtf

of a delay‘ in the congress of the U. States, to
authorize the President to issue a Patent of said‘
Reserve lands to the state of Connecticut for the
bent.-fi_t of the ptircliaset's." In i‘.'lay,’ 1810, the
number of bonds had increasedtiearly to 500, at‘
pointed Commissionerof the School Fund, with
a salary of $1000 per annum and all his expen—'
ces. In October, 1812, a resolve passed the Le».
gislaturc, having aretrospectivie operatioii, so as
annually, coniniencing in May, 1811. This al-
lowance was continued until October, 1818, at
\\"tIiCl1 lime tilt: resolve was repealed. Since:
May, 18 l(‘. the Treasurer has be-.n allowed S300
siouer. The State, from its ' 'l‘reasury, paid the
cgxpciise of tiianagiiig the school fund from 1795
to May 1810, so that during that time the whole
of the money arising from the school fund was
appropriated to the purposes for which it was ori-
ginzilly intended, but since May 1810, the fund
has been charged with that expense. __FroniMay
1810, to May 1819, the number of school fund’
bonds increased about 1500, so that, at this time
the whole number of bonds is about 2000.
