Receipts and Expenditures for.
Last Fiscal Year Compared
With Fifty Years Ago.

The state Of Minnesota on July 81
closed the last fiscal year and the
first half century of it's existence
with $2,968,2S2.64 in the treasury,
the total receipts for the year
being $12,446,2S0.64, gain of
about $1,200,000 over the preceding
year. Compared with the figures for
1853, when the total receipts were
$2S6, ,902.s6, and the balance at the end
of the year was $4,063.18, these fig
ures forcibly demonstrate the growth
of the state during the fifty years.
Figures compiled by State Treas
trer Dinehart contrasting the states
financial condition in 1853 afford some
striking illustrations of the changed
conditions. In that time the total
amount raised by taxation has grown
from $554,0O to $2B,O00,00O; the as
sessed valuation of all taxable prop.
erty from $41,000,000 to $1,05O, 900 900
and the annual cost of maintenance

support of these institutions for the
semi-centennial period of $33, 3,OO0, 900.
When the state started doing busi-
