N RAMENTO, Jan. 24-The first
~ official count of the States funds
- since Governor Pardee took his
oath of office occurred to-day,
and the discovery was made that there
are not sufficient funds TO meet the ap-
propriations that are expected to be
made this fiscal year.
The law requires members of the State
Board Of Examiners to count the cash
and warrants once a month. This morn
ing Deputy Attorney General Charles N.
Post, representing Attorney General u
S. Webb; Walter S. Melick, secretary of
the State Board of Examiners, and rep
resenting the chief executive Of the State,
and Charles T. Curry, Secretary of State.
made the official count. They were aided
by Truman Reeves, Treasurer or the
State. Controller Edward p. Colgan
handed the officials a statement Of the
funds in the treasury and also 5000 war
rants paid out this month. This num-
Der Of warrants is the largest paid in the
history Of the State.
The examiners used q counting ma
chine in figuring on the warrants. and
were able to go through that part of the
work in quick time. The counting of sill
yer. gold and currency took more time.
They did not "heft' the sacks, but act
ually counted out the contents of the
sacks that had not been counted the
previous month by Curry and Post.
MILLIONS IN GOLD.
They found that the State had on hand
at the close of banking hours to-day ap-
proXimately a total Of 50, 500 900, of which
all is gold except $1,000 in currency and
1880 in silver. The gold is in 145 bags,
holding $4,000 each. The balance is in
trays and piled loosely in quantities of
$4,000 TO the tray.
It is estimated that all Of this cash
Will have been paid out by the State be-
tween now and September L The Off
cials found that here was 81 35 differ
ence between the statement issued by
Controller Colgan and the cash in charge
of Treasurer Reeves.
This small difference caused the off,
cials a great deal of worry. After much
calculating and explanations 1t was found
that the Controllers statement was 81
too high. Treasurer Reeves explained the
absence of the 35 cents by saying it was
in pennies and that that deficiency had
always existed. In counting the money
in the sacks the officials opened a safe
that had been sealed a month ago by
Secretary of State Curry and Deputy At
torney General Post and simply saw that
the seals on the sacks were intact More
than fifty sacks in another safe were
emptied into the trays and counted.
