BOARD Oft. 7, i;B<s.
The Board having taken under consideration the edmmuni
cation from the Honorable the Executive of the jth instant,
do give the following opinion on the masters contained there
in, to wit,
“ For the three months pay sot the fifteen hundred men *
and Officers,” It is the opinion of this Board, that no fpeciaf
appropriation being made by the Afiembly for the payment
of the Militia, and the uncertainty of there being a fufficiency
of money for that purpose, make it neceflary-to defer that
matter for the present.
BOARD ofCOMMISSIONERS, Nov. n, 1786.
The Board took into consideration the following clause of
the communication of this day from the Honorable the
Executive, viz.
“ That.previous to a diftolution of the Board Os Commif
“ fioners the Executive once more call the attention- of the
“ Board to the recommending a sum adequate to the pay of
“ the Officers and men that have been called out, and on
“ aftual duty, agreeable to the resolution of the Legislature
“ of the 4th day of August last past.”
Whereupon the sense of the Board being taken, whether
it is in the power of this Board to make the said recommen~
dation or not : It appeared that three, members were in the
affirmative, and three in the negative ; therefore no division
could be had thereon.
