To meet this outlay it is estimated that the revenue accruing trom postages and other sources will be $30,664,023.90, leaving $5,907,876.10 to be provided out of the general treasury. The amount ap- a ee for the current fiscal year is 3,256,373, Of which $4,222,274.72 comes from the general treasury. It’ is ‘estimated, therefore, that $1,685,631.38 more than this year’s appro- priation from the treasury will be required for the next fiseal year.
