Names financial statement isn't

that the Legislature, soon to as

have much to do other than en-
act liquor laws and discuss pro-
hibition generally.
Cities and towns yesterday,
when the State tax was due.
owed Maine more than million
dollars-to be exact, 81 1882 .884.
OF this amount. S573,000 is tied
up in banks which were closed in
March and have not yet opened
to the point where they are pay
ing depositors in full. In addi-
ton to this. there are excise and
corporation taxes of S505, ,653 due
the State.
The income from beer tax and
license has fallen far below ex-
pectations. Figures now available e
indicate that for the first six
months of this fiscal year. July
10 December 81, it will approx
innate S175,000 instead Of the
half million generally expected.
Economies practiced this year
have cut the cost of running the
State S4,654.l78 from what they
were in 1882, but this has not
been sufficient to prevent the sit
uation becoming grave.
At the last Winter session of
the Legislature, in the closing
hours, the so-called fleXibility act
was passed. This gave the Gov
ernor and Executive Council pow
er to transfer funds from one de-
partment to another to meet
emergencies. Unless the special
session re-enacts this bill it dies

administration will be hard
