by Governor SulZer Tor Introduction by
Senator Frawley and Assembyman Levy.

ment of the states sinking funds. in

fund Of one-liftieth Of the amount of
hfty-year bonds issued and one-thirtieth
Of the amount of the thirty-year bond
issues
The interest and contributions To- the
sinking funds necessary for the next
ascsl year are estimated Al 100000 and
an appropriation for that amount would
be made available from the general state
fund.
State officials have agreed that during
1850 1906 and 1908 the people Of the state
were required 10 pay nearly sl3.Uo6o I'm
excess of the amount required for the
sinking funds This money would be
transferred 10 the general fund OF the
state. The other s. 10000 OF the excess Is
