Treasury Balance Continues

$1,500,000 March 81

Continued improvement in the
Territory's financial condition S
shown in the monthly statement
of finances issued today by Treas
urer w. G. Smith At the close
of business on January 81, last,
there was in the treasury a total
cash balance of 1898, 391.67.
This is an increase Of $340,713.10
over the balance shown 80 days
prior to that time W h en- Mr..
Smith reported $657.67S.57 cash on
hand.
Payments of most of the cannery
taxes for 1928 are still to be re-
ceived, it was pointed out. AS
these do not become delinquent
until March Is, and it generally
takes the full period allowed for
the companies to make up their
reports, the treasury balance will
continue to grow for the rest of
the Territory's fiscal year which
ends March 81.
1t is believed by that time the
treasury balance will probably be
approximately s1,500.O0O, a record
breaking figure. On March 81,

Of similar products for the year 1920

excess planes left over from the war

now been eliminated, but many of those
who purchased the Army and Navy cast
offs will be purchasers of new planes
during the coming exposition.
So far as the technical problems
which will be worked out by the races
are concerned, the men most affected
will be the operators of the commercial
