State Revenues
Exceed Outlay,
Despite the War
Report Shows Increase for
Defence Over 1916 of
$5,S81,19S.86

Albany, July %. - Notwithstanding
the unsettled conditions occasioned by
war, the last year has been very favor
able for the states finances, according
to the monthly bulletin issued to-day
by State Controller Travis. This report
contains a balance sheet OF the state
and the financial operations Of the
treasury in condensed form for the fs-
cal year which closed June 80.
From this report il is apparent that
receipts have exceeded the expenditures
for general purposes of government by
more than 100000 without direct
state tax being levied. although IN the
estimates at the beginning OF the year
contrary conditions were expected.
The Legislature of 1917 made appro-
priations for general purposes Of gov
ernment amounting to SI6,1i2,so9.2l.
This was an increase over the previous
year OF SIC 1889, ,3S4.l3. The largest in
crease was in the division of defence,
under which were grouped the National
Guard. State Militia and other appro-
priations incidental to the preparation
of the state for war purposes. These
appropriations amounted 10 sS,l62,-
5i3.72, an increase Of s5,Ss1, 1886 over
1916.
To offset these extraordinary war
charges upon the State Treasury the
Legislature provided for the levying
of a direct state tax of l.06 mills.
The total of the state debt on June
80 was s236,309 $50, an increase Of
s34,s05, 900 over 1916. During the year
there was issued s25,00O,000 OF 4 per
cent bonds for canals, highways and
forest preserves, and serial bonds for
the Saratoga Springs reservation
amounting to $4,000 were redeemed.
The sinking fund for the redemption
and interest on the states debt
amounted TO S4s, 1855, ,32S.l4, an increase
Of s4,914,402.2s over 1915. This makes
the net funded debt on June 80, 1917,
$751;, ,629, ,3S1.S6, an increase for the
year of s19,990,597.72.

KMBANE TOUTED
AS REAL Conner

Johnny kilbane was considerably
ranked when his bout with Richie
Mitchell in Cleveland was called OF
by Mitchell, who claimed that he had
hurt his hands so badly in the bout
at Milwaukee with Freddie Welsh
that he would be unable to get in
shape In time to meet Kilbane and do
himself justice. e -.
In fact, Johnny was so pecved that
he sent ont letter in which he
claims that Mitchell hurt his heart In.
stead OF his hands. and that the real
reason Of his action In backing out OF
the affair was his memory OF their
former meetings.
Kilbane has tossed down the bars
to the lightweights, He has decided
to enter the l33-pound division, and
he is delighted with the prospect that
the lightweight limit IN this country
may be moved back to the 133.pound
ring.side mark by popular consent on
the part of crlcics and promoters.
There are very few good light.
weights at the present time who can
really make 1873 pounds. Most Of the
boys who call themselves light.
weights scale around l3o to 1874
pounds at o'clock in the afternoon
and enter the ring weighing several
pounds heavier than the figure at
which they scaled.
But with the weight Of 1873 pounds
adhered to kilbane believes that ne
stands an excellent chance of adding
q title to his collection which now
consists OF one featherweight cham
pionslIp that looks as solidly placed
upon his Irish brow as the Rock of Gi. 4.
braltar in the Mediterranean Sea.
Two New York boys who can make
1873 ringside are Benny Leonard and
frankie Callahan. Johnny Dundee
finds that weight just little light.
but he claims that he can hit 1t with
case and would agree to do SO IL he
were to be matched for a title bout.
Joe yelling, who Is casting longing
eyes toward the lightweight title, is
another lad who can make the 1873. /
