Treasury deficits near 1895 estimates with tax hopes
Washington May 1. Treasury receipts for the year to date run far below expectations with a projected year end deficit near 45 million dollars. April receipts total 4.25 million while expenditures reach 32.95 million, yielding a monthly shortfall of 3.70 million and a two month outlook without extraordinary outlays. Internal revenue shows a sharp April decline from 1894, while future pension payments at about 22 million and a 1.5 million interest repayment are noted. The year’s net result is not expected to deviate much from these figures, though income tax revenue is anticipated to rise.
