REPORT OF CoMPTRoLLER

The annual report of Comptroller
VIM. s, Gordy, Jr.. shows the finances
Of the State to be in a healthy
condition.
On October 81, 1928, there was an
unobligated balance of $2.524,553.31
in the treasury. This is about
$1.000.000 more than estimated a
year ago. much of the increase being
due to a jump in motor-vehicle
receipts.
Mr.. Gordy called attention of the

for safeguarding important records.
