school fund receipts last year were
about S5,OOO,OOO but as some
changes were made in the laws
from where the school funds come
they will not likely be that much
the next two years. But even

S4,O00,000 a year for the next two
wears with the balance of more
than S4,O0O,00O left in this fund on
July 1 as shown by the Baker re-
port there would be sufficient to
pay the S9,OOO,0O0 appropriated
during the next two years and still
have a surplus of $8,000,000 in
that fund on June 80, 1881. Even
should the receipts the next two
years in all the funds be consider
able less than those of the past
year because of changes in the
school tax laws the report would
indicate that there will still be a
total surplus of more than $1O,-

CARNIVAL a HUGE SUCCESS
Robbins Hose Company of Dover
| Receipts Were Over S11 10000

What was considered the most
successful carnival ever held by
the Robbins Hose Company of Do
yer, was brought to close on last
Monday night The total receipts
for the carnival were more than
S11 800. The carnival was origin
ally scheduled to close on Satur-
day night but the rain on that
night caused the firemen to con-
tinue the affair over until Monday
night. The rain on Saturday night
caused a large loss for the f1remen.
At the close of the carnival the Of
ficials of the Hose Company issued
a statement in which they thanked
all persons who in any manner as
sisted in making the carnival such
a huge success. During the carni
val three automobiles were given
away as prizes. Last Tuesday ev-
ening, a Plymouth coupe was
awarded to Homer Reed, q farmer
living near Dover. On Thursday
evening a Pontiac coach was
awarded to G. L. Griffith, a Dover
business man. The Marquette Sc
dan was rewarded on Monday
night to Harry ]. Davis. a farmer
living near Milford. Because of
the careful manner in which the
firemen handled the carnival it is
expected that this years affair
will give the Hose Company the
largest net profit of any of the
canivals held during recent years.
The proceeds of the carnival will
be used to retire the Indebtedness
on the building of the company
and to make some badly NEEDED i'm
provements to the building

REGATTA AT ST. MICHAELS
Every Form of Boat Racing to be
on the TWo-Day Program

Sportsmen from every section of
the East and many points more
distant are being attracted by the
annual regatta held by the Miles
River Yacht Club at ST. Michaels,
Maryland. This year the races
will be held August 16 and II and
one of the finest programs ever of
fered has ben prepared. Because
of the large number of persons at

sula by this event arrangements
have been made this year with the
Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Com
pany to have their steamer, "The
Governor Emerson G. Harrington"
in service so that visitors may
view the race course from the
water instead of being confined to
the shores. Every form of boat
racing including power, sail and
hydroplanes is covered in the pro-
gram this year. On Thursday
August Is, the Club will hold it's
annual reception to members, their
families and friends on the Club
lawn fronting the water. The re-
gatta will be held under the sane
tion of the American Power Boat
Association. One of the attractive
features in the program will be
the race of the celebrated Chesa-
peake Bay log canoes which will
contest for the Governors trophy
sponsored by Governor Albert c.
Ritchie. There will also again be
the free-for-all sailing race for the
championship of Chesapeake Bay.
This event will be open to any
thing carrying a sail. Cupboard

Club of Essington, Pa, will con-
duct a cruiser race from Essington

STATE TREASURY BULGES
Revenues for Ensuing Year Should
be Ample for All Requirements

More than S1O,OOO,0O0 was the
total of the surplus in all the State
funds excepting the sinking fund
available for use July /, the be-
ginning of present fiscal year ac-
cording to a financial statement
just made by State Auditor Ed
ward Baker for the fiscal year
ending that date. The exact total
to this surplus is S1O,O46, 1868
The total surplus given for the
various funds as of July l this
year follows: General fund ,S4 ,284, :
744.03, school fund. S5, 1856, ,486. .6S:
highway fund $375, 5,355.60. These
figures will be of special interest
to those connected with the last
legislature as they show that de-
spite 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 a larger surplus
left at the end of the two fiscal
years, June 80, 1881, should the re-
ceipts for those two years be any
where near as large as the re-
ceipts for the year just ended. The
report shows that the surplus at
the end of the fiscal year, June 80,
1928, was S1,724, ,44T,10, which
shows that the State has met all
appropriations for the past fiscal
year and accumulated an addition
al surplus of more than S3,000,000.
The report gives the cash receipts
of the past fiscal year from all
sources as $11 ,431 ,104 SO which
with balance on hand June 30,
1928, and with some receipts not
shown in the above figures gives a
total of S19,833, ,S45.O9, that was
available during the past fiscal
year. The total expenditures for
that year are given as S9,7S7 ,29S.-
IS, which deducted from $19,S33,-
845.09, gives the S10,046, ,566.31,
surplus on hand July /, 1929. The
past legislature appropriated
about $15,000,0O0 to run the
State government, institutions and
schools for the next two fiscal
years starting July 1. This did
not include any appropriation,
however, to the State highway de-
partment, as it is fixed by law
that the receipts from the automo-
bile license department and the
gasoline tax amounting to about
S2,OOO,000 year, shall go to that
department. The receipts, how
ever, of the State highway de-
partment are included in the above
surplus figures.
OF the $15,OOO,oO0 appropriated
by the Legislature about $4,000, 900
