We estimated that the increased ad va

is entirely mistaken when he seems to
think that the states finances were man
aged during the past two years without
a careful investigation and study of LA
bilities and resources. He must have
misunderstood the comptroller and treas

could not know. and the comptroller
could not know what Governor Smith and

I frequently conferred with the comp
troller in getting up the estimates of
probable collections of revenues, and
am sure he must remember the fact.
Governor Smith did not employ an out
side accountant to make an estimatee.
He and did with experience what no
outside accountant could have done. In
