(Continued from First Page)
Ordinary y" wipts in that time are
estimaDd at about 83, 320,.000000 in:
cluding 82. 00.000000 from internal
revenue an 840,000,000 from war sav-
ings stamps. Thus allowances for
750,000,000 now in the general land,
and for 81.300..000000 certificates of
indebtedness outstanding which dust
be reder by June 10. the actual
balance remaining to be raised ghy
bond issue or other means would be
somewhat less than $4 500.000000.
. This figure makes no allowance for
expenses which may be incurred in
government management of the rail-
roads and the proposed $500,000,000
revolving fund for that purpose, nor
for the contemplated creation of ,a
$500 000 000 government corporation
to finance private securities issues.
Elements of uncertainty also exist in
the estimates of expenses in war de-
partment, and .in the revenues to be
gathered from incomes and excess
profits under the .war tax act.
Receipts from the sale of war sav-
ings stamps are estimath in varying
amounts. but many officials believe
that with the augurne‘hted sale expect
ed in the next few months, the gov-
ernment. will receive $400. 000, 000 be-
fore June 30.
The government_ is new spending
about 824. 000, 000 a dav. or $725. 000, 000
a month for its own war expenses.
and $15. 000. 000 a day or “50 000 000 a.
month for loans to the allies. For
the past three months, expenses hovel
increased at the rate of about 8100;.
000,000 a month. but the rate is much
lower than had been enpected.
Officials of the dopartment now he-
lleve that the coat of maintaining the

Practically all funds from the sec-
and Liberty Loan have now reached,
the treasury. Seven million dollars
come in because of discrepancies in
recounting amohg the federal reserve

ly. About 810,000,000 from the first
loan is still outstanding for the same‘
reason. ' '
