Washington, July 25.-The govern

June 80, exceeded its expenses for the
first time In three years. Secretary Hou-
st0n declared Sunday in q statement in
which he announced reduction in the
gross public debt and forecast fur
thur important reduction" for the COM
Ing twelve months.
While the annual operations of the
government showed a surplus Of So91.-
