MONTHLY BALANCE
II Shows That There Is Over 81 ,3OO,-
900 to MINES Credit

OOO 10 MAAh&'S OFSaA11s
State Treasurer Koerner yesterday bal
anced his books for the second month in
the new year, disclosing notable con-
trast between the statement of a month
ago. At that time every fund was more
or less in debt with but few exceptions,
and the general. revenue fund was over
drawn exceeding a quarter Of million
dollars.
Yesterdays balance shows that this
overdraft has been absorbed, and, in adj
dition to the revenue fund, has to its
credit over half a million dollars.
The receipts of the state treasurer's
Office during the month have been very
close to a million dollars. The railroads
have nearly all of them settled for their
gross earnings taxes, but other than this
the receipts Of the states eXchequer' have
been comparatively light. To the con.
trary, drafts have been very heavy, all
departments of the state government,
principally the state institutions, sending
in large vouchers to be honored.
The Great Northern paid yesterday in
$250,000 to apply on it's gross earnings
tax, and this was credited on the Feb
ruary receipts. The state university also
paid In yesterday $12,493.74, the Milwaukee
road paid a balance of SIC, 29.65 due on its
gross earnings tax account with the
state, and the Great Western railway
paid in $17,789.17. For a short month Mr.
Koerner regards February as one of the
biggest; In fact the banner month OF the
year The last day, too, was good one,
as 1t brought in over 100000.
The following is a statement OF tho
states balances to the credit Of the va
