federal COVE rnment will finish the
fiscal year next Tuesday W tn a surplus
in excess of $245 10000 nearly fifty
millions greater than any previous esti-
mate and more than twice as large
AS was calculated when the year began.
Although three more business days,
including today, remain before final
figures are computed, official reports
up to close of business last night war
ranted official statements that the
fondest expectations in the matter of
surplus had been exceeded.
Another phase Of treasury operations
that gave rise to feelings Of satisfac-
tion, was the continued upward trend
of receipts from income taxes. Exclud-
ing the last three days Of this month
revenue from this source alone aggre-
gated $1,749, $4,000 or eighty-nine mill
lion dollars more than the estimate
upon which the budget was based when
the years appropriations were made.
And the final days of the month will
see this figure increased, for few Of the
internal revenue collectors have COM
pleted their totals on collections for

Despite the reduction in tax rates,
which have been effective through half
of the current fiscal year, total intern

fall only about $220,OOO,0O0 below the
receipts for the last fiscal year, which
totalled $3,975 $4,000 Total receipts to
