SURPLUS IN TREASURY
Is Expected TO Be About 100000
at End Of Fiscal Year.
SAVERS SUCCESSOR WILL HAVE START
Large Appropriations Made Necessary
by tho Many improvements Will
~ Have Been Cared For.

Austin, Texas, May alt may be inter
esting to the public to know the exact
status Of the general revenue sccounA at
the expiration Of the nrst sight months of
tho present fiscal year. Some confusion
has arisen In the public mind through
inisapprehension of the true meaning OF
cash balance. This does not necessarily
imply surplus, but only shows the amount
of money actually in the treasury at a
given date and does not take Into considera-
ton the demands upon 1t, on account OF I'M
expended appropriations previously made
whereas a surplus is the real balance after
all outstanding obligations authorized by
law shall have been satisfied.
The receipts that have come to the gen
eral revenue fund between the dates OF
September /, 1901, and April 30. 1902, In
elusive, amount to s2,es4, 1851, and the
disbursements from the general revenue
between said dates to s2,27e, 1881. This
would leave an excess Of receipts over dis
bursements on May 1, 1902, Of S4o4, 9926o
which, added to the cash balance on hand
on September l. 1901, which was the com
mencement OF the present fiscal year, OF
s1,67S, 1852. 93. The general revenue receipts
for the months Of May, June, July and Au-
gust, 1901, amounted to S6o5, o2I.sl and the
Expenditures during those months to S1,06S,
p64.61 Should the receipts for the same
months OF the present fiscal year equal
those for a Ike period during tho last fiscal
year, there can be no question but that
the cash balance on September ], 1902 will
reach as much as 100000. which will put
tho treasury In a very goodN condition IN
deed, and Notwithstanding the heavy and
necessary appropriations in the way Of
Confederate pensions and for the construc-
flon Of buildings at the several elecmosyn-
airy and educational institutions and for
improvements to those already constructed,
Governor Savers will be able 10 transmit TO
his successor comfortable cash balance
and an actual surplus Of not less than 500.
GOO after the discharge Of all obligations
that may have been contracted during his
administration.
In other words, It Is believed that on Sep
tomber /, 1903, which will he the beginning
Of fiscal year, and to which date appro-
prlations for the support Of the State gov
eminent and the public service have al
ready been made the treasury will have
an actual surplus Of 100000 with the re-
Ce!pts Of the year named to supplement.
OF course this condition viii he more or
less affected by the action Of the next leg
islature, and the estimate herein made
must therefore be regarded as somewhat
problematical

Austin, Texas, May 3.--DurIng the past
two and three months the attorney gen

the building Of school houses. After these
bonds are approved they are then taken TO

Many OF the Independent school districts
In the various counties will have new school
buildings ready when the fan term opens
Besides II means work for the labOring

also goes TO show that the State Is adj
Yanclng 10 the educational line and only
n few short years will lapse before the
public school buildings will be the boast Of
Texas as the free school system now Is.
Many new school houses have been erect
ed during the past year In the western part
or the state due to the fact that the popu-
lntion has more than doubled itself and
the many children Of the scholastic nge

The completion OF the Denton normal

incapable OF self-government; that IL
was the doctrine OF thrones and a re-
flectlon on Jehovah to say that lie
created people incapable OF selfgov'

logic Is sound.
