From advance sheets of the forthcom-
ing annual report of the Secretary of
State of Wisconsin, for the fiscal year,
ending September 30th, 1869, the follow
inc statements are gathered The total
receipts of the State Treasury for the
year, were 81, 3S5. 925,04, and the total
amount of disbursements. 81 1888, S20,2
The balance in the Treasury on the 30th
of September, 1869, was $155. 935, 40,
and on the same date last year, Sl53, $50,
63, showing an increase Of 81, l03.77.
Receipts of the general fund amounted
TO 1914 965 10; of this sum the railroad
tax yielded 1885, 55l IS, and the telegraph
tx S94S.
During the year past the bonded in
debtedness of the State has not decreased.
The statement of the Secretary Of State
shows that on the Goth of September,
1869, the debt of the State was as follows:
Certificates of Indebtedness 2, 147 10000
Currency certiiicat 500
Total Ool 90
The Secretary estimates the total cost
of running the State government for the
ensuing year at 1926, ssh, u, and the rev
enues at 1928, 500. The deficiency, about
half million dollars, must be made up
by "a direct State tax,
The productive school funds amount 70
1914, COS, S3, according to the report,
being an increase of $109, 87S,43 over
the tota' amount last year.
The State tax for the current year is
s5l5, 961,13, and the assessed valuation
Of the State S242, 64I.I24. The tax,
therefore. is at the rate of two and one
eighth mills on the dollar.
There are other points of interest in
this report to which we may hereafter al
lude.
