Italia. is owing to cirewnstames connected only with rail.
way receipts and expenditure ; or whether it arises from
falling orf of the available sources of income or increase
of expenditure in India.

vious yew. governments of India had now fairly
set their shoulders to the wheel in the reduction ~f
espeaditurs, and were proceeding much MOM rapidly in
that direction than he anticipated they would do a .era;;,,:
and if the pmdoce of the oew taxes best year equalled wlat
was expected, and if the redactions next year equallod those
made in the one, expenditure and income would be all
but balanced. (elteen.)
