But admitti~tg thie stat'eint of the treasurer is correct, it appears that $1,636,086.38 were collected and 1l,458,l52.32 were expended leavih g a balance of $178,532.06. Of this balance, $l35,0O00 were iet aside to pay initerest on thre public debt under the new consolidating act, 29,000 are due the charitable and peatrl associa tionsi Atnd 4l11,600 for salarieh.
