(1691) [Sl\UTH to COUNCIL]
Executive Department of Texas.
To the Honorable President, and members of the General Council: Gentlemen:
I herewith transmit to your body the report of John H. '/ Money, former treasurer of this municipality. You will see by the accompanying vouchers, the disbursements made by him, some of them you may deem it necessary to consider. Mr. Money is anxious to bring the matter to a close by final settlement. I also send you a petition, signed by various persons, which will show for itself. I further have to remark, that the reports made by the commandant at Goliad, shows that he has on hand at that station, public property to a considerable amount, consisting of various goods; dues to the custom house, &c., all of which he is anxious should be properly disposed of for the public benefit. You will therefore make such orders on that subject as you may deem necessary, to promote the public interest, and at the same time to release the commandant from the further responsibility. I am gentlemen, respectfully
Your obedient servant, Henry Smith, Governor
