By the SENATE, January 4, 1807.

Gentlemen of the House of Delegates

WE have negatived your resolution directing the treasurer te subscribe for sixteen hundred shares in the
Farmers Bank of Maryland, which, according to the report of the joint committee of both houses, would take
the whole of the money at this time in the treasury which can be, with certainty, invested. We conceive that
the Frederick and Reister's-town turnpike roads to be objects which the best interests of the state demand our
fostering hand and assistance. The Mechanics Bank, as also being an institution which promises aid and assist-
ance to that valuable and important class of citizens, the mechanics, we think also well entitled to the patro-
nage of the state. If you will therefore originate resolutions in your house for investing the sums of forty
thousand dollar's in the Farmers Bank, ten thousand dollars in the Frederick turnpike, and ten thousand dollars
in the Reister's-town turnpike roads, and twenty thousand dollars in the Mechanics Bank, they will meet the
approbation of the senate. We seriously call to your attention the necessity of investing the money in the
treasury in some safe and useful investment, and thereby prevent the loss that would result to the state by suf-
fering such a sum to remain unemployed.

By order, T. ROGERS, clk.
