From this it appears that op to the 31.st
January last, notwithstanding the great
difficulties about the works, there was
really a surplus of £30,000 applicable to
throe works, and theta was also £37,000
due to the special funds ; to shwa, E231.11410

It will nines from the fowegersg state-

£78,000
which £78,000 would he subject to the

balance at the eredat of the Loan Aecouat
for public works has been used up acne the
31st January, and w there s no immediate I
