The final estimates for the year
ending June so. 1912, as they have
been sent to the treasury, on No
vember' 20 of this year, for the or
binary expenses of the government,
including those for public build
ings, rivers and harbors, and the
navy building program, amount to |
| $500, 494,013 This is $52,964,SS7 |
less than the appropriations for the
fiscal year ending June so, 1911. |
1t is $16,SS3,153 less than the total
estimates, including supplemental
estimates submitted to congress by
the treasury for the year 1911, and
is S5,574,659 less than the original
estimates submitted by the treasury
for 1911
: These figures do not include the
, appropriations for the Panama canal
the policy in respect to which ought
: to be. and is, to spend as much
, each year as can be economically
: and effectively expended in order to
, complete the canal as promptly as
) possible, and, therefore, the ordn-
airy motive for cutting down the ex-
, pense of the government does not
: apply to appropriations for this pur-
: pose. The estimates for the Pan
| anna canal for the ensuing year ave-
f more than fifty-six millions of dol
Y lars, an increase of twenty mill ms
4 over the amount appropriated for
e this year--a difference due to the
: fact that the estimates Tor 1912 in
: clude something over nineteen mil
: lions for Notifications for the canal.
ii Against the estimated expend-
/ lures of $3.50, 494,013, the treas
: ury has estimated receipts for next
8 year $3.50, 100000, making a prob
able surplus of ordinary receipts
v over ordinary expenditures of about
g fifty millions, or, taking into &C
1t count the estimates for the Panama
,e canal, which are $56,920,S47, and
v which ultimately will be paid in
IF bonds. it will leave a deficit for the
next year of about 100000, if
n congress shall conclude to fortify
ic the canal. The cost of the fortified
r tons is about nineteen millions
Or Should there be no appropriations
ps this year for Notifications, Their
p there would be, even including the
I'D Panama canal appropriation, sur
e. plus of about twelve millions, &C
id cording to the treasury estimates.
