of debt IN the past year debit amounting TO
has been pald one hundred thousand dollars of this
amount was the debt which the state Incurred "hch
IT bought the lands at Niagara Falls for state park
one million dollars was paid for that land and the
law making the appropriation provided that the bonds
Issued to pay the money should be paid of at the rate
of 100000 annually. thus spreading the payment
over term of fen wears. Three hundred thousand
dollars of the amount has already been PAID ana
there therefore, remains still debt to this account
Of 800 900 which cannot be exiting ushcd until 1o9o
Besides the 100000 Of the Niagara Park debt, Con-
toor Wemple paid 1901 $50 Of The canal deot' ms
debt the only of the state with the cNcep'ioh
of that Of the Niagara Park. lts total amount Is
s614o $50 but there are funds amounting to s4,o70,
2s9 80 in the sinking fund TO pay It when II IS du'
and thus the net canal debt Is only ~ O6637O Ol
Then there IS small debt OF l22,G04 81 for Indian

Of the state at present At the present rate OF pay
ment the canal debt will all be paid In 1913 ana the
sole debt of the state remaining will be that of the

the Indian annuity debt. The State is ready to eX-
ngulsh Its debt at but the bonds do not mature
until 1895.
II may be added that possibly the state taxes may
be reduced this year by the passage by Congress of
the Direct Tax bill II that bill becomes Law, New
York state will receive over - 900 900 Possibly some
counties may desire the return TO them OF that portion
Of the taxes which they paid, but In the Controllers
