NOte.-The transfer Is caused by de-
posting all monies paid by collectors TO
revenue account, and when final reports
are received of all poll taxes collected,
the amounts due school fund from school
poll taxes reported collected is charged
TO revenue and credited to school fund.

all transfers to school fund on that date ;

diate payment of interest on the public
debt required from the treasury to the
amount of $50, 900 90.
With present laws in force and with
remittance from collectors of funds in
their hands which 1 am led to believe
will be promptly made, it is estimated
that we will have to rev enue account,
after paying July interest, in available
funds, the sum of eight hundred thousand
dollars, $500 200 0O). Respectfully,
