Tennessee Senate Bill for Sinking Fund, 1847 November 30
This bill, no. 76, provides for a Sinking Fund to be used to reduce the state's debt. It has three sections, the first establishing the sinking fund and its funding. The second section explains that the funds will be paid to the Bank of Tennessee for the purchase of state bonds. The third calls for the Bank to provide a report to each session of the General Assembly. The bill is printed on blue paper that was previously bound, as some of the binding tape remains. This bill was introduced to the legislature by Landon Carter Haynes.
