Fiscal year shows surplus as public works spend mounts
Government receipts exceed expenditures for the fiscal year begun July 1, with a month end surplus of 1,102,003. About 12 million has been spent on public works, mainly on the Panama canal. A 60 million dollar payment to the canal helps explain the deficit since May 1, 1904. Republicans claim a net surplus of 91,073,605 since 1897, while deficit totals over nine years reach 211,756,482 and surplus 302,830,087. Dana law repeal faces unlikely support as Democrats push and Republicans oppose. The House votes were split for the first time this session.
