Annual Report of the Secretary of State
for the Fiscal Year 1890.

for the Fiscal Year 1890.
The Secretary of State has issued his
annual report for the fiscal year ended
July 81, 1890. During the year there
have been AIS new corporations created,
of which 100 were for religious, chari-
table and social purposes, and 295 for
business and profit. A full list is given
in the report.
There was received and paid into the
Treasury the sum of $7O1.5 for record
ing and official fees Under the act of
the Legislature of 1889, providing for a
fee in proportion to capital stock for
recording articles of incorporation, there
has been paid into the Treasury from
May l, 1889, to July 81, 1890, $40. .125.
This act has practically stopped the in
corporation of doubtful enterprises,
based ON fictitious capital.
The law now authorizes the publica-
tion of 5000 copies of the general laws
The editions of 1888, 1887 and 1889 are
practically exhausted.
The volumes for 1889 had all been
given out within six months after pub
lication, and hundreds of requests since
then have had to be refused. The pub
lication in the newspapers is of an
ephemeral character, well enough in
the interim before the official volume
can be published, but in no way serves
the purpose of lessening the demand
for the bound volumes. The number
should be increased to $4,000 copies.
Since the 18th of October, 1889, the
min rf hn Sfaf hos Hoo,, %1,o
charge of an expert, and the work, says
the report, has been done with large
saving to the State in the aggregate.
Tie contracts for State printing from
August /, 1888, to August /, 1889, en-
bracing the Legislative year, were let
for the first and second classes to j. w.
Cunningham; the third class to w. P.
johnson, and the fourth and fifth
classes to F. l.. Smith. The total
amount of printing under these con-
tracts, and the total value of paper fur
nished by the State for the same is as
follows:
Value of printing used, $6S. 1921;
value of paper used in printing, $l0,-
1917; value of stationery used in the
various departments, 81 1856 81; value of
printing used, Sl4,23691; value of paper
that the cost of printing the coming
year will be reduced nearly $4,000, as
the contracts are growing lower every
year. The Secretary recommends an
additional $500 for clerk hire and from
500 to $500 to the contingent fund.
