GENERAL REVENUE FUND
For the fiscal year $780, including balances, win
amount to the sum Of S3,945, ,65S.00 He properly

was S3, ,SSl, ,S46.75 last year, and there will un-
quest1onably be considerable increase for
this year. This will be due. in part, to the nat

at other institutions, and on other accounts,
amounted to more than $22l,00J. In conse-
quence, the aggregate of the appropriations
made for the year 1889, to be paid out Of the

above, So, 1881, ,S46.75.
During the past year no unusual deficiencies
have been created. Hence, there will be no oo-
casion, SO far as now can be foreseen, except as
Will be hereinafter shown, for more than the
ordinary appropriations for current expenses.
Fast experience gives US fairly accurate idea
OF what the amount of these should be-
