TWO dollars, thirty-uipe cents, which, ad-
ded to the balance of cash that was in the
Treasury 90 the 1st October, 1912, leaves

Of one hundred and eleven thousand, one
hundred and twenty-five dollars ouj eigh-
ty-two cents, ($lll ,l25 49,.
By examining the items of receipts,
however, the Legislature will perceive
that twenty three thousand, two hundred
and sixteen dollars and eighiy-fpe cents,
! was derived from sources which may DC
termed extraordinary, The Revenue pro-
duced by Taxes being but two hundred aud
and seventy. FIVE thousand, nine hundred
aud seventy-nine dollars, and lhirty-one
cents, (s275,979 3l)-making the receipts

hnndred and sixty FIVE dollars less than
| the returns of the preceding year: occa-
stoned principally, by the reduction which
was made in the rates of Taxes at the las,
Session of the Legislature. The very di.
minshed return of goods, wares, and mer-
chandize, made 10 the present year, has
also contributed in producing this result;
the same being seven hundred and ninety
thousand, eight hundred and twenty-five
dollars, of value, less than the returns in
1912. No very material change is anti
cipated in this particular, during The con-
linuance of the present Tariff.
The estimated wants of Government
for the service Of the year, as shown in
No. 10, being two huudred aud sixty three
thousand four hundred dollars, (263, ,4OO,)
the revenue derivable from Taxes at the
existing rates, may be considered adequate
to the demands which may grow out of
appropriations based upon that statement.
10 the contingency Of any extraordinary
appropriations being made al The present
Session, it would, perhaps, oe necessary
| TO increase the means of The Treasury.
The expenditure in the first quarter OF
the fiscal year, usually exhausts the ba-
ances which are reported as on hand lst
October, and compels the Treasury 10 re.
ly On the Bank for advances, enlil the re-
ceipt of the Taxes in June, Whether it
is desirable or expedient that this periodi-
cal decripitude in the financial ability Of
the State, should be continued, is matter
which the Legislature may or may mol
deem worthy of consideration.
