Brown, Chairman Stats Lioard of o/ Raitway and Wurehvuss Commisstoners, Spring- Jield s ¥ Dran Bi: In confoiming to tho roquire- monts of tho State Buard of Rallway snd Ware- houso Commissionets, my first annual report of tho working and status of the State Grain In- spectory’ Dopariment of tho City of Chicago is borowith submitted. OLD AND NEW FEES, N Assuming charge jof the dopariment on tho 8il day of April, 1878, I immediatoly found my- self wurrounded with ombarrassing ecircum- stances, and, at the close of the samo month, the irensury of {ho Dopartment was not only de-~ vlotod. but an actual doficit of §2,163.80 oxisted, Whilo the inspection of grain wag yot under tho auspices of the Board of Trade, tho inspeo- tion foce woro 80 conts a car for Inspeeting into clovators, and 50 canta por 1,000 buelels for in« speoling out of clovators. Those ratos wero adopted by the 8tato, upon hor assuming charge of tho Ingpection Dopartment, but, in 1872, the rates wera reducod to 25 conts & car for inspeot- ing into olevators, and 40 cents por 1,000 bushels forinepecting out of clovatora, DELISQUENT FEES. As tho rates proved to bo sufticient to creato o small surplus fund, and as this dopartmont of tho Btate Governmont {s intended to bo only solf-sustaining, it wos deomod justifiabla to ro- duco tho rates of inspection. Going back to tho Doard of Trade regime, as woll au to the admin- istration of my predeccssor under tho anthority of tho State, whilo o surplus fund was in tho Trensury, and thoroforo tho fluancial depart- ment easy fluancially, the practico of not vigor- ously urging the collection of tees was permitted to croep into the rervice. This practice wes per- mitted to grow until parties representivg about ono-third of the shipments of grain from this port openly contended that they wero obligated topay tho feos. It wan whilo this was going on ihat tho fees wero reduced, sud the eventual re- sult is therofors very apparent. On April 80, 1878, this departmout was 1n debt $2,153.86, as Leforo stated. INCREASE OF CURENT DXPENSES. This scason tho curront exponscs of tho de- partmout have been moro than in previous yoars, in consequenco of the addition of new roilways,—tho Chicago, Denvillo & Vinconnes and tho Chicago, Milwaukeo & 8t Paul,—aud nleo of the sddition of six now clevators to the list of & year ago, Whilo it may seom that theso additional railways and clevators would incroago tho recoipts of thia dopartment, in consequenco of tho onlarged facilities thoy open up in roator ratio the expenso they ontail upon the lopartmont, tho facts ure the reverse, wWith tlo oxception of somo of tho clevators. And, in addition, the department has bad to poy about 2,000 for tho logal publication of thoe new rules for the giading of grain, which went into offact tho 1st of July, 1878, TIE RESULTING DEFIOIT. The offect of tho foregoing onumorated com- binations lius boan to consume the surplus cash funds of the dopaitment, at rate which tho following exhibit will show: On Dee. 2, 1872, tho cash surplus on hand was $16,983.9 Jan, 1, 1873, £16,119.25; Fob. 1, $12,467.92 5 Maveh 1, 80,894.83 ; April 1, $743.74 3 aud Ay 1 (or April 80) the doficit of ¥2,153,86. as nlrendy given; ond-Juno 1,+a dekicit of £6,091.96 ; July1, = dofloit of $4,783.47 ; Aug, 1,8 doflcit of $2,460.16; Bopt. 1, a dofleit of $1,874.08. 1t is but proper, howevor, Lo state that thio deficit waa crented to the amount of 21,666.98 in consequenco of wy predecessor rotainini S474,98 for his unlary for tho months of April, May, and June, 1873 ; ‘aud $792 as pay lor the sorvices of a hoto, 1o considering the samo o bo proper and just cliarges against the departmout; but 18 your Board did not approve thom, you insti- tuted & suit for the recovery to tho Stato of that amount, which suit is now pending.
