Secretary of State for the State of Florida. HIS EXCELLENCY W. D. MOSELEY, OFFICE OF SECRETARY OF STATE, Capitol, Tallahassee, November 17th, 1845. } Sir-I have the honor to enclose you herewith, as requested, a Tabular Statement of the enumeration of the inhabitants of such counties as have been heard from, together with a statement of the population of the same counties in 1840, Very respectfully, JAMES T. ARCHER, Secretary of State. ENUMERATION of the inhabitants of the counties below named, taken in 1845, compared with the enumeration taken in 1840, by the United States. ENUMERATION of the inhabitants of the counties, &c.-(CONTINUED.) Total. since since over 20 under 20 over 20 under 20 Males | Females Males Females 1840 1840 DOCUMENT No. 2.-Statement of the Comptroller of the State of COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE, Nov. 17th, 1845. Sir: I have the honor to present herewith a report of my official proceedings from the 26th July, to 31st October, 1845. Statement No. 1, shows the amount of Warrants drawn upon the Treasurer during that time to be eleven thousand two hundred and ninety-nine dollars and one cent, ($11,299 01.) Statement No. 2, will exhibit the amount of each kind of taxable property in each county in the State, and the amount of taxes assess. ed, so far as returns have been made to the Comptroller's Office. It will appear that twenty-nine thousand one hundred and sixty-five dollars and twenty-one cents, ($29,165 21,) have been assessed in the Counties from which returns have been received, and that nine counties remain to be heard from, which will probably increase the amount of Revenue, exclusive of Licenses, Auction Tax, Fines and Forfeitures to thirty-five thousand dollars, ($35,000.) In compliance with the 11th Section of the Act to organise the Office of Comptroller of Public Accounts, I appointed the Solicitors of the several Circuits to make the enquiry and examination as directed therein. The time allowed them to make these examinations has not been sufficient to enable them to make their reports, and I have deferred making a statement of the condition of the Territorial Treasury, until full reports have been made, which it is believed will be received in time to lay before the present Session of the General Assembly. I am, very respectfully, N. P. BEMIS, R To His Excellency, W. D. MOSELEY, Governor. |
