CONTROLLERS REPORT.

According TO the Report Of the Con.
lroler Gust pubIished,) the Balance in the
Treasury on the Slsl Of March last, was
$54.675 "a. The expenditures for last
year, were $ls7, $50. This shows favor
able condition OF financial matters, and
Connecticut is almost the only Stale in the
Union, that aside from a balance in its
Treasury, has large amount Of money
perms nen,Iy invested.
The Controller proposes that the State
Tax should be reduced 10 half Of one per
cent. AS the Grand List Of the State is
about six millions Of dollars, the amount
raised would be only about $50, 600, little
more than The sum raised by the taxes on
Railroads. Probably larger tax will be
laid. If Convention TO revise The Con-
s,ilu:ion is likely to be called, considerable
expense viii Of course, be occasoned.
