A phrase used in some states as a collective designation of all the assets of the state available for the support of the state government and for defraying the ordinary appropriations of the legislature. It is so used in New York; People v. Board of Sup'rs, 27 Barb. (N. Y.) 575, 588; and also in Delaware in the messages of the governor and other state papers to distinguish such funds as are available in the hands of the state treasurer for general purposes from assets of a special character, such as the school fund.
