Treasury Does Not Share Fear
OF Coolidge Upon Tax Deficit
1926 SURPLUS
MAY REACH SUM
OF $ll,OOO,OOO
AN nlsnnlen A. 2. VIC.


WASHINGTON, FEB. 27.--Fears of
President Coolidge that deficit of
500. .0OO.O at the end of the next
fiscal year might result from the
operation of the new revenue law
are not shared by the treasury where
it was estimated today the year
should be completed with a surplus
of $11, 100000.
The treasury calculation is based
on estimate Of present expenditures
and receipts, but does not take into
consideration any increases in ap-
preparations above the budget by
congress
1t is believed the estimates on
which the White House fears were
based took into account the possible
approval by congress Of several
pending bills calling for additional
appropriations, such as the public
building measure, which already has
passed the house and calls for an
appropriation of $165, 100000 payable
at the rate of $25,000,OOO annually.
On the basis of present estimates
of expenditures and revenue receipts
for the next fiscal year ending June
80 1927, however, treasury officials
are confident that the new revenue
bill will not cut receipts below the
estimated surplus
While the bill is expected to re-
duce revenues $3S7OOO,OOO this cal
ander year, it has been estimated
that the government receipts during
the next fiscal year Will be re-
duced by only $319000,O00 On the
present basis of government opera
tions if the law had remained in
effect, treasury c8lculttions show
that a surplus of $330,O0O,O00 could
have been counted on in that year,
leaving, $1,000, 900 for probable sur
plus under the new law. AS far as
the current fiscal year is concerned,
a sufficient surplus is in sight to
meet the effect of the reduction in
taxes effective prior to June 80.
Approval of some of the numerous
bills now pending in congress which
propose additional appropriations,
treasury officials said, will more
than wipe out this prospective Sill
600, 900 margin. Besides the public
building bills, which have received
the endorsement of the administra-
tion the house has in preparation
