EXECUTIVE CEAMBER March 29l, 1912
TO the Assembly:


The chief provisions of the act entitled " An Act
TO provide for paying the debt and preserving the
credit of the State" are the imposition of a tax
and an indefinite suspension Of all the works of In
tcrnal Improvement. These important mea surcs
are contrary TO the policy which have on all pro-
per occasions recommended, and to which, with
the most respectful Difference TO the Legislature,
am obliged by convictions Of public duty to adhere
But the question is of nature purely Legislative,
and the measures proposed have not only the APP
probation of the fiscal administration, (trcm which
the Executive is cOnstilutionaly separately but
arc represented by that administration to be abso
lutely and urgently necessary. Although dissent
ing from these opinions yet believing that the Ex-
ccutve could not consistently with the spirit of the
Constitution attempt to control the deliberate ac
ton of the Legislature in regard to such measures
under such circumstances have given my assent
to the bill, and it has become law.


WILLIAM H. SEWARD.
