The official notice for tle election U
as provided by an act of the general
assembly Oil the qtestion, of devolv
ing the duties of the commissioners of
public works upon city council is pub- c
lished in this issue of the paper, and
the election is ordered for Tuesday,
April 2nd.
The decision of the supreme court a
in the matter of license to be paid by
foreign corporations will probably re
duce the income of the state about d
$25,000,00. Tliis will make the defi- t
cit that much more.
In the siltemlient, wlilcl was prilnt- t
ed from R10presentative Aull, the de- 1
ficit appears at about $1S0,000.00. P
Withi this souree of, inlcole (ut off a
$25,000.00, it wouild Imake the def-icit
soimetlhing over $200,000.00. o

The exac't tigure's as est imatedl by (4
thle (Com11ptroll4er' Gleneral of th lie
v'enu1e of' the state for this year' arec s
put at $1,274,150.00, which w~ouild h
make thle appr'opriat ions exceed theh
probiable revenue by $184,020.54.
When T pilacedl the deficit t
at from $l00,000.000 to $123,000,- hi
00, which would face thec next ses- f
sion of this legislature, I dlid not f
.take into account the $48,000.00 in a
the legislative appropriat ion hill.
As stated above, the dificit will bet
apparently $184,020.54, which is
about $30,000.00 more than my esti- e
mate when you count the $48,000.00
carried in the legislative appropr'ia
tion bill. In reaching that conclu
sion, I estimated that there woul'd be i
several items in the general. appro
priation bill, which would not all be
used and would therefore be covered
in the treasury at the close of this
fiscal year.
The figures given here are correct
astaken from the bill as it finally
passed the legislature.4
The deficit, 'which will face the
members at the next session, will at
least be sufficient to make those ex
travgantly inclined stop and consider.
It is well to know just where we are
at in the matter of the state finances
and for that reason I write this ad
ditional card and ask that you pub
lish it so that the figures may be ac
curately and fully stated.
