Brewer Visits Treasury.

Unnannounced and unheralded Gov.
Brewer recently walked into the state
treasury for the purpose Of certifying
the cash balance at the close OF bust
ness. This is the constitutional pre-
rogative of the governor, who is re-
quired to do the same thing at least
four times during the fiscal year. AS
on other occasions, he found Treas.
urer Stovall's books an1 the auditors
warrant books TO be in harl-o7v.
though as TO actual hard cash in the
treasury drawer there was not more
than a few dollars. The books and
vouchers showed a cash baianre on
hand in the repositories amounting to
something over 100000. and a
smaller amoun to the credit OF the
land redemption fund and government
reserve funds for aid of agricultural
colleges.
From now on until tax paying tim
in December the treasury balance will
dwindle down. In the meantime a pen
sion fund OF s450,000 will be due in
November. and to meet that demand
will require some financiering.
