State's Hugv Balance. State
Treasurer H. M. Kephart found the
largest balance In the State Treasury
in almost a decade when he closed
the books on the April business last
night at the Capitol, the aggregate
of the funds in the banks to the
credit of the Commonwealth being
$10,043,091.<8. This is half a mil
lion more than the big figure at the !
close of March business which show- I
ed $9,549,373.93.- The immense
amount of money in the Treasury,
which is so far beyond what has
been the case in recent years, is due
tt> the energy with which the Audi-j
tor General's Department has beenj
found enforcing payments of state
taxes, especially of cases which had
been found unsettled for two and
three years. The payments during
March and April, which are usually
dull months, have been running
higher than known in a dozen years.
One of the striking features of the
balance sheet is that the general
fund aggregated almost $6,000,000,
which is the largest for a long time.
This fund gets the general receipts.
The automobile license fund, out of
which the state pays for mainte
nance and repair of its highways,
amounted to $2,310,378.

The instructions from the State

sugar in abundant quantities to do
the normal amount of canning and
preserving this season. The State
Food Administration gives the local
administrations this assurance, with
the added Information that there is
enough Bugai- in the West Indies and
other sources of sugar supply to fur
nish the normal supply. The fact
that transportation difficulties have
not yet been overcome accounts for
the present shortage.
The state administration declares
itself certain that with the patriotic
co-operation of the public during
the present crisis nearly normal con
ditions in the sugar situation will be
reached later in the year.
