CONCENTRATE N

state Accountant William
Hosking has recommended to
the legislature that more equit-
able appropriations could be
made without additional reve-
nues if present laws were amen
ded so all tax collections would
be placed in the state general
fund. The suggestion was con-
tanned in his 1889 budget sub
mitted to the legislature. His
report showed the state has
lived within its income during
the last two years, and that
during the past biennium the
general fund was not over
drawn for the first time in 20
years.
