From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
It costs the people of the United States
$114, 1865 year for ef executive.
His salary is $4,000 an found" The
presidents finding is ..uher compre-
hensive, covering about every possible
requirement Of family. His private
secretary, the clerks, doorkeepers, mes
sengers and steward and three other
servants cost 3ss.s85 year. which the
president may use according to his dis
cretion. In furniture and repairs to
the white house the sum of 10000
more, to be used by the direction of
the president, is provided by the ma
ton, and is always expended. For fuel
alone $4,000 is allowed. and for neces-
sary repairs to the greenhouse there
il $4,000. Altogether the presidential
"dnding" annually amounts to tho
snug sum of 3s4,s65, nearly $4,000 a
year more than his salary. The two
aggregate $114.s65. This is An impos-
ing aggregate. but 1t is small compared
with other presidents. The president
Of the French republic receives as SAL
ayy $120.080 a year, $32, 2,480 for contin-
gent purposes and handsome house,
rent free. So we get our president
rather cheaply after all.
