Finances of the Nation Review by Secretary Shaw
Secretary Shaw presents a fiscal year review noting a $24,000,000 actual deficit, $6,000,000 above the official estimate. An inadvertent double deduction of a $7,500,000 loan caused the error. Customs receipts exceeded estimates by $3,000,000, yielding about $2,500,000 above forecast. Expenditures rose in several areas including postal, canal, irrigation, French spoilation claims, rivers and harbors, Indian service, pensions, and interest. Navy construction came in $4,500,000 under estimate. The June favorable showing is not due to manipulation.
