CONTENTS OF APPENDIX.

For convenience in referring to the tables in the Appendix, a brief synopsis will be given, indicating what may be found in certain divisions, classes or single tables.

The tables are numbered from 1 to 319, consecutively, and are arranged in two general divisions. The first division-Tables No. 1 to 190, inclusiveis devoted to the current year's transactions and is subdivided into several classes, viz.:

First-Tables No. 1, pages 2 and 3, to No. 12, pages 16 and 17, inclusive, treat principally of the receipts, disbursements, transfers and proper division of money in the treasury.

Second-Tables No. 13, pages 18 and 19, to No. 28, page 23, inclusive, represent the transactions through the several General Ledger Funds.

Third-Tables No. 29, pages 24 and 25, to No. 73, page 99, inclusive, are composed of classified miscellaneous auxiliary accounts.

Fourth-Tables No. 74, pages 100 and 101, to No. 162, pages 242 and 243, inclusive, detail the transactions between the State and Counties.

Fifth-Tables No. 163, pages 244 and 245, to No. 190, page 269, inclusive, exhibit the accounts of the various State institutions, as compiled from papers filed with the Auditor General, under Act 148, Laws of 1873.

The second division-Tables 191 to 319, inclusive-is made up of various classes of tabular work in which the current year's work is combined with that of former years for the purpose of making comparative statements.

"DAILY BUSINESS" BOOK.

Table No. 1, pages 2 and 3, contain the year's transactions on a form of this book. This is essentially a book of balances, in which is shown, at the close of business each day, a balanced General Ledger, a balanced Appropriation Ledger, and a balanced Bond Register; also the condition of the TwoMillion-Loan Sinking Fund; also, the receipts to the several educational funds which are applicable to the expenses of the State Government, under Act 22, Laws of 1875; also, balance in the Treasury, with increase, or decrease, at different dates, and receipts and disbursements for different periods during the year; also, maximum and minimum balances, with dates; also, a division of the General Ledger balances into two parts. One partRevenue-represents the various balances belonging to the State as principal. The other part-non-Revenue-represents the various balances carried by the State as agent or trustee.

The "Recapitulation" shows that of the $1,116,189.19 in the Treasury June 30, 1889, but $876,492.24 form any part of the State's Revenue, and that $17,461.25 of this amount is in the Sinking Fund and cannot be used for appropriations or ordinary expenses of State Government. The appropriations subject to call during the next six months amount to $857,560.82, thus leaving the margin for ordinary expenses of State Government small indeed.

The balance of the General Ledger accounts at the close of June 30, 1888, and June 30, 1889, the receipts to, and expenditures from, each fund, during 1889, and the transfers between funds for same period, with references to the fund tables, are given in Table No. 2, page 4. The balances of the Trust Funds, June 30, 1888, the debits and credits during the year, and the balances June 30, 1889, are shown in Table No. 2 A, page 5. The condition of accounts grouped in "Sundry Deposits Account," is shown in Table No. 2 B, page 5.

consist of Tables No. 13, page 18, to No. 28, page 23 inclusive, and, as stated, exhibit the relations of the different funds with the State Treasury.
