There is only about $50, 900 in the
general revenue fund in the state
treasury and there is possibility
| that the state treasurer may have to
hegin to stamp warrants mot paid
for want of funds" before the first of
| October gets here-the date announced
some time ago.
The payments for September are
nearly all made. however, and the
treasurer may slide along without ink
ing his stamp until the next sheet of
the calendar comes off.
But if the purchase money OF the
Parsons asylum site is called for with
in few days. there will be a matter
of $28, 900 to go out in lump. And
the contractors on the new buildings
at the state institutions may call for
some payments on account and wipe
out the rest before the month is out.
Treasurer Grimes stated today how
ever. that he thought the fond would
not become completely exhausted till
the first week in October. He said the
legislature embarasses the state treas
! urer every time by not making its ap
preparations properly. 1t makes funds
| for some new piece of legislation
available just as soon as the law Is
published in the official state paper.
The beneficiaries lose no time in get
ting to the crib to get out the plumber.
and in point of fact the legislature
robs the treasury at it's weakest time,
the closing months of the fiscal year.
1t is then really spending money that
was secured by levy two years he
fore with no thought of standing this
strain July taxes come in OppOrtune-
ly enough to relieve this early strain;
then the raid continued after the new
fiscal year opened. and there has not
been enough to stand the strain.-To-
