Final figures for the year were con-
tanned in the preliminary report OF

government received approximately
three-fourths Of all Of its revenue.
In these two items there was an in
crease Of $1,356, 900 900 over the fiscal
year of 1919, receipts for two years
being: 1920, $3,957,7O1, 900; 1919, 81

would "be glad to offer the highest re-
ward possible under the law"
Owners of threatened gins are

No gins have yet been reported
