ceived by the State Comptroller
who estimated values of the
missing counties from last years
rolls to. be $5,000,000. Last year's
valuations were #3,012,819,287.
The Comptroller estimated
that the, State will have a bal-
ance of $4,420,758 in the treas-
ury u . the end . of
this fiscal year and that the tax
rate of 22 cents fixed by the
State Tax Board is high enough
to yield this surplus. He bases
his estimates on the following::
The Tax Board fixed the rate
upon an estimate that' taxable
Values would be only $3,320,000,-
000, that income from all sources
would be $7,661,J96, and that
proceeds from a 22 cent tax rate

in the treasury at the beginning
of this fiscal year would produce

the year. However, the Comp-,
troller estimates that the ad~val

sources will be $9,250,000, and
these added to the. surplus will
