DELAWARE TREASURY
BULCES WITH LARGE
SURPLUS OF FUNDS
Total Receipts For The Past
Fiscal Year $ll, ,4S1, ,lO4 Audi
tors Report Shows.
SCHOOLS WILL BENEFIT
Revenues For The Ensuing Year
Should Be Ample For All Re-
quirements.

More than $10,000,000 was the to.
tai of the surplus in all the State
funds excepting the sinking fund
available for use July 1, the begin
ming of the present fiscal year ac-
cording to financial statement just
made by State Auditor Edward Ba-
ker for the fiscal year ending that
date. The exact total to this sur
plus is $10,046, ,5S6.31. The total sur
plus given for the various funds as
of July 1 this year follows: General
fund, $4,2S4,744 school fund, So
3S6,486.68; highway fund 1915, 5,355.60.
These figures will be of special in
-terest to those connected with the
last legislature as they show that
despite the unusual large appropria-
tions by the General Assembly for
the next two fiscal years there will
be plenty to meet those appropria-
tions with even larger surplus left
at the end of the two fiscal years,
June 80, 1881, should the receipts
for those two years be any where
near as large as the receipts for the
year just ended.
The report shows that the surplus
at the end of the fiscal year, June
80, 1928, was $6,724,447.10, which
shows that the State has met all ap-
preparations for the past fiscal year
and accumulated an additional sur
plus of more than $9,OO0,000.
The report gives the cash receipts
of the past fiscal year from all
sources as $11, ,481, ,104.39 which with
balance on hand June 80, 1928, and
with some receipts not shown in the
above figures gives a total of $19,-
S33,S45.09, that was available during
the past fiscal year. The total ex-
penditures for that year are given
as $9,7S7, ,298.7S, which deducted
from $19,S33,8 ,845.09, gives the $10,-
6,566.31, surplus on hand July 1,
1929
me past legislature appropriated
about s15,000,000 to run the State
government, institutions and schools
for the next two fiscal years starting
July l. This did not include any ap-
preparation, however, to the State
highway department, as it is fixed
by law that the receipts from the
automobile license department and
the gasoline tax amounting to about
S2,O0O,O00 a year, shall go to that de-
partment. The receipts, however, of
the State highway department are
included in the above surplus fig
ures.
Of the $15,OOO,OO0 appropriated by
the Legislature about $9,000,O00 was
for the public schools. The school

eral authorization for all immigration
and border patrol officers 10 join in
the search for Harry Williams, La

a week ago, tonight inaugurated one
Of the biggest man hunts in South
Texas history.
Approximately $50 men, schooled
in the ways Of the border from Yuma,
Arizona, TO Brownsville, Texas, were
affected by the order from Robert
Carl White, first assistant secretary
Of labor. under whose jurisdiction
the border patrol operates.
These skilled operatives will COM
bine their efforts with those Of peace
officers in an effort 10 find the "a
year-old reporter, who vanished over
night. An appeal TO Secretary White
was decided on only afte- all other
means had proved unavailiag. Cir
culars bearing a description Of the
missing youth were sent over the
country two days ago.
Officers have had only one clue or
which to work. J. 3. Dacamara, La
redo merchant, reported that he and
his wife had tried to pick up a youth
who either had been "doped" or
thrown from an automobile on the
highway 80 miles north Of here last
Sunday night.
