CAUSED by EXTRAORDINARY Ex-
PENDITuREs ON WAR ACCOUNT.

last fiscal year:
Receipts. including Pacific Railroad
items, were $4O5, 321 $50 Expenditures in

the receipts from Pacific Railroads. amounts
ing to SOL, 75l .22S, and the expenditures on
this account of S,549,S6S, the account would
stand as follows: Receipts, SS40.570 Ill = exe
pendltures, $4SS. .2l4. leaving a deficit OF
$9S, 249, 103
This large deficit is accounted for in part
by the extraordinary demands on the treas,

estimate OF the war expenditures during the
months of March, April May and June is

ceeded this amount on a peace basis. At
the end of the first seven months OF the

duct from this $42.249.l0S and we find that
the deficit has been reduced during the last
five months of the fiscal year So. 652 49, It
thus appears that during the -slast FIVE
months of the year our receipts exceeded
our expenditures on peace basis over nine
