The Treasurer says
An amount Of bonds considerably larger
/ would have been purchased during the year
but for the unreaSonably high rates asked
for them by the holders; in view of which
fact the Treasurer would recommend that NJ
further appropriations, should be made foT
the purchase of bonds in anticipation Of
their maturity, and thus reduce the tax t,
the measure Of our current yearly expendi-
lures.
In pursuance of the provisions of Sections
90 and %, Chapter -. Of the General Stat
utes, new apportionment Of the United
States deposit money held by this State,
based upon the Census Of 1870. was made in
November, lS7l. The whole amount of the
fund held by this State being S669, ,0s6. IS
and the population as returned being
330, ,53l gives S2.O2 45-l00 per capita. In
making the new distribution $50, ,O23. Il was
collected from one hundred and eighty towns
and cores, and paid over to sixty-eighi
towns and cities The Treasurer takes
pleasure in stating the fact, that his call.
upon those towns which were found to have
an excess to be refunded, were promptly re-
sponded to. which enabled him to complete
the new distribution without unreasonable
delay
Since the estimates of 1870 were made, the
sum of Slii, ,2i632 has been received for
sale of military stores, and the further sum
Of $50 ,502 Is has been received from the
United States, on account of our war claim,
