department of the Auditor OF
States office for the quarter end
:ng Thursday were $6,795.75. For
The previous quarter they amount
ed to $1,444. The receipts in this
office are running about the same
in volume as those of last year.
This office transacts its business
by the calendar year instead of by

ng March 81, when the receipts
amounted to $47,83S. Many OF
The insurance companies paid

o a change in the fiscal year, con-
aimed only two months.
Supreme Court.
The clerk of the Supreme Court
-eported receipts for the curren,
iscal quarter considerably in ex-
,ess of those of the previous quar-
.er. Receipts from the Appellate
Court amounted to $2,96S.51 and
from the Supreme Court ST ,61i.-
*. During the previous quarter
the receipts from the Appellate
Court were 81 5000 and from
the Supreme Court were S1,1S1.60
The increase was due to the fact
that during a part of the quarter
lust closing the higher courts
were not in session and the clerk
had more time and opportunity
to make collections.
The report of the custodian OF
buildings and grounds for the
quarter just closing will show an
increased deficit in the illur1inat-
ing fund and a slight deficit in the
water fund. The amount expend-
ed from the custodian's repair de-
oartment during the three months
was $S14.77, leaving a balance at
he end of the year of $6.0S. The
appropriation for the year wa
$4,000.
Illuminating Fund Deficit.

at the end of the fiscal year is
1915. The appropriation for the
year was $16,080. 1t is estimat 4
hat the total deficit in the illum-
atins iund for the year JUST closed
| will amount to more thai, ! 20
| The deficit in this fun for the
previous year was $5.00S.4o The
next legislature will be asked to
appropriate money to pay this de-
| felt. The deficit in the water fund
amounts to $1O0.77. The appro-
priation for the year was $4,000
| The custodian asked that this ap-
Dropriation be cut from $4,000 70
$4,000, as he believed this would
be sufficient, after a change had
been made so the elevator could
be run by electric power instead
of water power. This appropria-
ton would have been sufficient
