HARRISBURG LETTER.

The fiscal gear OF the State, end
ing yesterday November 30th),
showed a condition unprecedented in
the history of finances in Pennsyl-
vania. Not only is the state out of
debt, but it has the very comfortable
balance of $5,967,979.S3 in its gen.
eral fund. This is held in several
hundred banks and trust companies
all over the State, portion being
in four financial institutions in
Wayne county. The amount in the
sinking fund is $2,652,034.96, with
a net debt at this time of $2,643,-
917.O2, and strong probability
that 100000 of this amount, rep
resenting bonds, will never be pre-
sented for payment.
The total receipts for the year
were $29,101, 1870. which is $2.-
4,05O.98 more than was ever col
lected in the best year the State ever
had, and $2,675,317.64 ahead of the
best receipts from ordinary revenue.
Large as the receipts we're the ex-
penditures were somewhat larger,
reaching $3O,O21.773.57. 1t will be
noticed that in order to make both
ends meet the State Treasurer was
obliged to call on the banks to give
up their deposits to the tune of
$92O,5S9.87. Not many states can
make as good a showing as Penn
sylvania, even with the balance
against us for the year, and the
fiscal officers are receiving merited
congratulations on their excellent
record.
1t is not likely that the receipts
will exceed these figures for some
years. Delinquent taxes have been
collected up very closely during
1909. and very few delinquencies
have been allowed for current taxes.
There are always some in process
of settlement and delays tie up col
lections. but another thorough
years work will bring everything
up to date. The force is well or
ganized and effective, and the cost
of collecting has been reduced pro-
portionately, in practically all di-
visions. Corporations, as usual.
produce the larger part of the reve-
nue., the aggregate from that source
being about $17,O0O.000 in round
numbers.
Auditor General Young has brok-
en- a number of records during his
administration and promises to
break another this month by having
his report for the year ending yes
terday in the hands of the State
Printer before the end of the year.
Considering the difficulty of making
up this copy, and of the enormous
amount of work, additions and cal
culations, he will be entitled to a
lot of credit if he gets his report
out this month.
Governor Stuart is much interest
ed in the States finances and feels
that his course with respect to
vetoing a portion of the appropria-
tions last spring has been fully JUS
titled. He recognizes, as does every
student of the states finances, that
the income next year will not be so
large, and the balance in the gener-
al fund will be correspondingly
less. Good housekeeping requires
the keeping of a comfortable bal
ance of at least 100000.

DR.. Daniel d. Jackson, an expert
on water bugs, says that 100 cases
OF typhoid in one block in New York
could be traced to flies, he believes,
because back of that block were two
stables. A few years ago the doc
tors were sending young men in deli
cate health to clean out stables that
they might gather in more of an
atmosphere which conduces to ro-
bust proportions in the bodies of men
who are coworkers with horses. In
view of DR.. Jackson's revelations,

years of human life may be saved
