Dep. State Papers, Benicia (Military), tomo LXXVIII–LXXXVIII · BANC MSS C-A 20, document 451

Respuesta Fiscal (dictamen) on Echeveste's reglamento. Begins bottom of n424, runs through n425–n428 and past this chunk (still running at n432 = 433/30). 'Este pues Reglam.to provisional se dirije á la justa y cumplida subsistencia de las nuevas y antiguas Mis.s como primer objeto, y á la de las armas q.e las han de auxiliar.' Cites R.l Cédula de Sbre 10 de 1772 on the new 'cordon de Pres.s en las provinc.s internas.' Budget review: troop for Mont.y, S. Diego and 'las 5 Mis.s' $38,985 → reduced to $15,594 (ahorro $23,391); Cal. antigua $16,450 → $10,950 after deducting $5,500 for Gob.r and Comisario de Loreto; S. Blas dept + arsenal + fragata + 2 paquebots + raciones $63,907; grand total $90,476 'con la corta equivocac.n de $10.' The 100%/150% price premium is noted as 'la antigua práctica, q.e se observó en la Cal quando estaba al cuidado de los Jesuitas espulsos.' Then works through the 17 'puntos instructivos': (1º) news of the S. Diego/Monterey discoveries 'no se logró tenerla aquí hasta el mes de Ag.to de 1770'; (2º) Junta de Guerra y Hac.da of 6 May resolved that people go from S. Blas 'con plaza de marineros p.a poblar y cultivar la tierra'; (3º) free transport for men who bring wives or families, at only the cost of the ración for 5 years and 2 of sueldos, so that 'los indios aprendan el modo de trabajar p.a q.e la tierra produzca los víveres necesarios'; (4º) the ministros of the 5 new missions of Alta California [continues past n428].
