the fscal year and payments on account OF 'e "ppV
,rations for 1879 convert this into actual surplus on
septembcr so 1870. OF $401 27S 40 In my "nnua To-
port to the Legislature the surplus was esima'euu'
81 .o73s96 s3. The result is therefore, apparenuy
s672 Gls "a below tho estimate; but as the $lOoooOo
appropriated 1870 the New Capitol rs lhcluoeo III
the foregoing statement, and IL excluded from the TAX
levy the result is really S327,3s1 66 more favoraoe
