The joint select committee on Retrenchment, which have had under consideration so much of the Governor's Message as relates to the reduction of salaries, and also various petitions upon the same subject, have directed me to report, that legislation upon that subject is inexpedient, and that the petitioners have leave to withdraw their petitions; from which report I, as an individual member, dissent.
