COMPTROLLER OF THE TREASURY. V

and for which no estimate was made in my report for 1876,
the remaining expenditures amounted to $1,891,470.54,
which amount approximates very closely the estimate of re-
ceipts in said report.

The balance remaining in the Treasury at the close of the
fiscal year was $397,981.13. Nearly the whole of this sura
was required to meet the large payments falling due by law
in this, as in every year, on the first day of October, or
within a few days thereafter, as follows :

Civil Officers......................................................................... 2,529 99

Judiciary.............................................................................. 22,175 00

Pensions.............................................................................. 7,090 00

Schools (white)................................................................. 119,017 00

Schools (colored.................................................................. 25,006 00

Interest on the Public Debt................................................ 157,178 07

Miscellaneous Appropriations............................................. 408 83

Total..............................................................................$383,998 39

ESTIMATES.

The probable receipts into tho Treasury during the current
fiscal year, are estimated in statement "G," at $1,893,016.94,
upon the supposition that no amount will be realized dur-
ing that period from the suits pending agaiast the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad Company, or the Northern Centrall
Railway Company, and that no payment will be made dur-
ing aid time "by" the Susquehanna and Tide Water Canal
Company, or by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
for dividends on the stock of the State in the Washing-
ton Branch Road.

This amount added to the balance in the Treasury, 30th
September, 1877, viz: 0397,981.13, would make the total
amount in the Treasury daring the fiscal year, 1878, to be
$2,290,998.07.

The probablo disbursements during the same period
estimated upon the supposition that only economical and
necessary expenditures will be authorized by the Legislature,
are given in detail in statement "D," and amount to the
sum of $2,138,900.00. Should the above hypotheses turn
out to be well founded, and no additional revenue be provided
by law at the present session, the balance in the Treasury at
the end of the current fiscal year, would be only $152,098.07,
a sum entirely inadequate to meet the payments which will
