Receipts from in- come taxes aggregated $2.174,000,- 000 as compared with 22. 000,000 in 1927. In this connection, Secre- tary Mellon called attention to the fact that the treasury’s estimate of this total differed from the actual figures “bv the grrow margin of $9.000,000.” Including disbursements under the war claims act, the total expertdi- tures amounted to $: 1.009000 as compared with fiscal year 1 The increase M Mellon attributed to the failure of the second deficiency bill of 1927 and changes in the revenue law b reason of which “a substantial amount of expend:tur properly chargeable to the ‘al year 1927 was carriod over into 1928.” A survlus of 5,000,000 was esti- mated by treasury department, Mr. Mellon s “exclusive of pay- ments unler the settlement of war claims act, which in fact amounted to $50,000,000, or, in other words, a surplus of $465.000.000. The actual surplus was $398,000.000 or within 1% Per cent of the estimate.’ Democrats in congress have-voiced criticism of the accuracy of the trea- sury’s estimates in recent years. Durine the fiscal vear just closed, the total of the public debt was re- duced from $18,511,000,000 to $17,- 604,000,000 and the annual interest rate on the interest-bearing debt was cut from 3.96 ner cent to 3.87 per cent of the surplus, where $3 900,000 has been applied to the pub. lic debt remainder is to be used for retirement purposes early in the Present fiscal year. “During tl course of the 18 months beginning on March 15, 1927. wailing wind trends, is the south | lorida coast, but officials doubted if-such a distance would be negotiat- Karl Betts, race scoring official, wedicted all ‘he balloons would be! lown by night, and thought the lead- | 2rs would be lucky even to reach the northern section of Georgia.
