More Of It's Warrants

OLYMPIA - state Treasurer
Phil II. Gallagher today issued his
third call for registered general
fund warrants, announcing he
would redeem s7.s54 .555 worth Of
them June 1.
Since January : the state has
not been regularly paying any
warrants issnsd against the gem
eral fund because of the $4,000. 600
deficit in IL. Only twice has the
treasury redeemed any OF such
warrants, the first call March l
retiring 100000 worth and the
second earlier this month taking
in another $500. 900 worth.
Gallagher said periodic calls for
registered warrants would be made
as revenues accumulated IN the
general fund. The last weekly
cash balance issued by tho treasury
showed only about $500. 900 on
hand 10 pay off the $500, 900 In
warrants called for June !. but
Gallagher said he expected enough
tax revenue In the meantime to
meet the call.
