 MASSACHUSETTS, FINANCES l Boston, Jan. 28.-The forty-ninth an-8
 nual report of State Auditor Kimball was made public to-day. It shows that the revenue from corporation taxeH
 amounted to s1,O2s.406 against an esti-i
 mate of but $925,000, and state prison
 industrials yielded less than $290,000, where $325, 1000 was expected. Insurance | taxes and licenses netted S406,740, or
 nearly 1000 more than was estimated.
 The greatest gain noted is in revenue from the collateral legacy tax, which:
 was worth to the state more than half a
 million instead of the s3oo,000 figured on l a year ago.
 The amount to be provided for this year by taxation is less by $397, ,141 than
 was the amount as appears by the aud- itor's estimate In 1897. It is apparent | by these figures, declares the report. that with due economy the legislature of the present year can close it's session
 with state tax of about the same as
 the year 1897, that is to say, about sl,- | 750000.
