~ the opening Of 1918 the balance
in favor Of the State after deductine
payable liabilities was exactly S4e04.1a.
Now the balance is S336,S42.19.
Two years ago the retiring auditor
furnished figures to show a deficit Of
sl.43l,34S.6o if all appropriations We're
granted and taxes at four mills The
total appropriations with council or
ders for the past two years were
100000 more than the appropriations
of 1911 and 1912. This was for per-
manent Improvements.
All we're paid or money reserved to
pay, yet the State debt was reduced
s2a7, 1885.
Mr.. Callahan's complete report and
comment follows:
Augusta, Me. Dec, 81. 1914.
Hon, William r. Haines.
Governor of Maine.
Dear Sir
l am enclosing you a copy Of re-
ceipts and expenditures for the month
of December 1914, also copy of as
sets and liabilities as OF January LIST
1915 and in so doing l am taking the
liberty Of bringing to your attento.l
few facts.
Two years ago my honored preda-
cessor in his letter and report 20
Governor Plaisted, January 81. 1919
for the two years ending December
@1st, 1912 pointed with pride and
justly to the fact that the cash on
nand and the State taxes due was
more than enough to pay all outstand-
ing payable liabilities in full, every
thing except the permanent school
fund, lands reserved for public uses
University of Maine and Augusta Hos
pital trust funds.
/ write to say that what was true
then is true now with this addition,
that whereas two years ago the bal
ance in favor of the State after de-
Quoting all the payable liabilities from
the available assets, cast, and all take;
due was less than $1,000, 600 ($4,S04.1s)
now the balance in favor of the Statt
is nearly 1897, 900. (336,S4219).
Notwithstanding the fact that two
years ago the retiring Auditor on page
20 of this report gave figures to show
that the Legislature of 1918 would
have IA deficit of s1,431.3 4865 provid-
ing all the appropriations asked for
were granted, and taxes at 4 mill rate.
We did not grant all of them, but the
total appropriations granted, for 1913
and 1914 with additional Council Or
ders, amounted to within $40, 900 OF
the amount asked for and this total
was about s1,500,0o0 more than the an
Preparations of 1911 and 1912. This
money was for permanent improve
ments such as Hospital building.
School buildings, University of Maine
building, additional highway appropri
atoms, bridges and the like. These were
all paid for or money reserved for
the same. with additional cash as
stated above and the State debt re-
duced s2s7,175.S5.
Incidentally l might add that the
Auditor of 1912 was over 100000 out
Of the way in his estimate Of the re-
ceipts and expenditures to the 1913

CORDOVA HARB0R MIR, SMOOT
 EXAMINED BY

Among the Cordovas distinguished visitors while the steamer Mariposa was in port Sunday was L. E. Shoot, close personal friend of Secretary of Interior Lane, who is making an in- vestigation of Alaska harbors with view to securing an outlet for our coal He was on his way east, after having visited the Cook Inlet country. Mir Shoot is a representative business man of the Atlantic coast and made the trip north at the request of Mir Lane to gather all information avail able as to harbor conditions, and this he has done. The Secretary realized that the people of the Pacific Coast are prejudiced against one town or an- ther in Alaska and believed that he could get the most unbiased opinion of conditions in the northland by send ing Mir Shoot here.
 Although this was his first trip to Alaska Mir. Shoot was not unfamiliar with our country. He had fortified himself with maps, charts and other data before coming to the territory and during his visit interviewed a large number of people. Realizing that it was an easy matter to ac- quire false impressions he desired to get his information first hand and it did not take him long to modified some of his views about the Cordova harbor and Prince William Sound after he had gone over the harbor situation here with members of the local Cham Der of Commerce MT. Smoot was fur nished with a mass of reliable data and will be in a position to make an intelligent report on conditions as they actually exist.
 Unfortunately his time here was limited and he was unable to avail himself of the invitation to take trip over the Copper River & Northwestern railway to the interior copper mines.
