To the Senate and House of Representatives.

I lay before the two beaches of the Legislature a copy of an unanimous act of the Board of Commissioners, appointed under the law separating Maine from Massachusetts, by which a decision is made of all the ordnance, arms and military stores belonging to the two States. Soon after this division was effected, I received from the Executive of Massachusetts a copy of a resolve, passed by the Legislature of that State directing and requiring the Adjutant General thereof to deliver over to such person, as might be duly authorized by this State to receive the same, the property to which it was entitled by said assignment. These documents, together with the Resolve of the Legislature of this State of the eighth of February last, "respecting the military stores if the State" were submitted to the consideration of the Council, who advised that the Adjutant General of Maine be appointed an authorized to receive from the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, the property mentioned in said assignment.
