AN ERRONEOUS STATEMENT.
Secretary Nettleton Denies the Truth
of q Newsnanef. Rennrf

Secretary Nettleton Denies the Truth
of a Newspaper Report.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The attention of
the Treasury Department has recently
been called bya correspondent to o news
paper statement, to the effect that in the
annual estimate of receipts and expend-
1tures for the fiscal year ended June so,
1891, the: late Secretary Window over
estimated the receipts of revenue S52.-
1900, and underestimate the disburse-
ments S67, 100000. The facts shown by the
books of the department are given in the
following letter from Assistant Secretary
Nettleton to II. l.. Earle of Washington:
The published statement is entirely
erroneous. In the annual report of Sec
rotary Window the estimated total re-
ceipts, including the postal service, were
SIT, ,000, and the actual receipts proved
to be SiS7, 1907 ,!46. Remembering the tariff
legislation, the Mckinley bills radical
changes, most of which took effect after
the date of the report, the estimate made
by him on December lst was singularly
correct In the same report Window
estimated the total expenditures, includ-
ing disbursements for the postal service,
to be S420, 900, 900 for the same fiscal year
The actual expenditures proved to have
been S444, S57, 7GS, an excess of nearly S25, :
100000 over the estimate. This excess
was almost wholly accounted for By eX-
penditures growing out of legislation en-
acted, and judicial decisions rendered az
ter the date Of the report. which, there
fore could not have been taken into con-
temptation in the estimate. The prin-
cipal item of this kind is $l1 ,52l 900 to
refund the direct taxes"
