Los ANGELES. April 1, 1891.
To the Board of Supervisors:
GENTLEMEN: Upon making my third
monthly report of the condition of the
various funds, l deem it my duty to call
your attention to the following items:
First.-The salary fund. The balance
in this fund is $24, ,499.06. The warrants
drawn against this fund from January
LIST, 1891, to date amount to $47 ,615. AZ,
an average of $l5,871.8l per month. The
receipts from the various officers for
fees, etc., have been $24, ,273.46, an aver
age of S8091. .02 per month, or an average
expense above receipts of $77S0.79 per
month.
The balance on hand, with the
amounts to be received from the various
officers, and to be apportioned from de-
linquent taxes in June will be sufficient
to pay all demands for the fiscal year.
The demands against this fund will be
somewhat increased on account of the
large number of deputy assessors.
The amount of the warrants drawn
for the first three months of the pre-
vious year, (1830), was 52,345. "a.
Amount for same time, Q89D, is $47,-
6l5.42. Balance in favor OF 1891,
$4729.92.
Second. The current expense fund.
The balance in this fund is x27, 81 s. .O4.
The amount of the warrants drawn
against this fund from January l, 1891
to date, is $47, ,157.O8, an average
monthly expenditure of $15, 1903. The
June apportionment will probably add
$4,000 to this fund, which will he suf-
ficent to pay all demands during the
present fiscal year.
There is due this fund from the court
house and Jail fund nearly $130, 900 for
money transferred during the years
1889 and 1890, and for warrants drawn
directly ON the current expense fund to
pay for work done on the new court
house. The amount of the warrants
drawn for the first three months of the
previous year, Q890) against the fund
was $52, ,345.34 amount for same time
in 1891, $47 ,157. .0S; balance in favor of
1891, $51SS.26.
Third. The hospital fund.- this fund
is in healthy condition. Balance on
hand at this date SAL ,980.50.
The amount of the warrants drawn
since January l, 1891, is $17 ,552.31. This
amount includes the expense of the
county farm and various accounts al
lowed indigents. The average expend-
iture per month is $5850.77. The ex-
pense will be less for the next three
months. This fund will be increased
about $4,000 from the June apportion-
ment, and about $1450, from the state
for indigents on the county farm who
are more than 60 years of age.
This is ample for all expenses for this
fiscal year.
The warrants drawn against this fund
for the first three months of 1891 is
$156.62 less than for the same time in
1890.
THE COURT HOUSE AND JAIL FUND.
Fourth. The balance in this fund is
$139, 1854. This amount will pay all
demands for the present fiscal year, and
leave surplus for the fiscal year of 1891
and 1892.

The contractor now expects to have
the building completed on October 1st.
Fifth. The general road fund.
There is a balance in this fund of
$S493.S0. This ought to be sufficient to
pay all demands for the fiscal year, but
the balance in many of the various road
district funds is quite limited, and
much care will have to be exercised or
all the funds will be exhausted before
the end of the fiscal year.
The general school fund, the rebate
fund, and the various interest and sink
ing funds have been levied for specific
purpose and should not be transferred
to any other funds.
