Fund Is Low.

Judge J. $. Ross of Arkansas City, appointed expert accountant last Mon day by Acting Governor X. 0. Pindall, with the task of counting all the mon- ey in the state treasury and going over all of the treasurer's books, com pleted his work and filed his report The report shows the State to have less currency in it's vaults at the pres snt time than 1t has had in several years. In the general revenue fund there is in United States currency the sum of $159. .7S3.90, whereas two years ago when the same fund was exam ined 1t had about $190,000. Then. too. there are still about $25,000 or $30 900 worth of warrants to be paid out of the treasury before the first of next year for indebtedness of the past quar- ter. Although the general revenue fund shows a shortage over former years, prominent men of the State, who learned of the report, are inclined to believe that the shortage is not in any wise significant of anything dis astrous. The recent financial stringen cy Is held to be largely accountable for the falling off in the amount of cash on hand, and other reasons of more or less importance are given The time of year when the treasury is examined also has something to dc with the condition of the report. How ever, the report taken two years ago which showed about $190,000 currency in the general revenue fund, was taken about this time.
