From the above it appears on the one hand, that
there has been an increase in the Revenue of nearly
130,000 dollars; but on the other that the expendi-
ture has been increased 240,000. Huw comes this?
fire item of salaries and pensions alone upwards of
665,000 dollars. Contrast this with the fact that the
Dutch Governor defrayed the whole expenses of the
Colony at a less expense titan the salary of the present
Gov:rnor, and it will be evident that some enquiry
should be instituted to examine into the affairs of this
Colony.
