THE COMCORD TIMES The Five Million Dollar Deficit Dwindles to $86,468 The State Had Surplus of $232,000 December 31, Barr ing School Loan. Brock Barkley in Charlotte Observer, i Raleigh.

These are the "bare bone” farts on North Carolina's financial condition as revealed in the report of the auditors, formally transmitted to Governor Alorri son and the council of state by the legis lative investigating committee this af ternoon. Another "bare bone" fact is that the cash account contained in the auditors'! report checks and grees with the ac-! counts of the state treasurer of North 1 Carolina "to the actual penny.” "T’ut that in the headlines.” urged 'Governor Alorrison when he had seen the committee's comment on Lacy's books, "for it shows to the people how an honest and grand old Presbyterian has been keeping the state of North Caro lina's money for the 22 years, he has been in office. r nie $710,000 school fund note, tin* in- 1 elision of which gives deficits in the general fund statement for both Decem ber 21 and June 20 and the elimination >f which furnishes a surplus for the De cember 21 report and leaves a bare de ficit in the June 20 statement, gets this •‘omment from the committee: "There is a note of $710,000 charged against the general fluid or operating fund, which, in our opinion, should bo •treated as a part of the funded debt of the state and should not be charged to this account, although the auditors in preparing the report were justified in charging the note to the general fund be cause of the technical language used by I the Legislature in creating the obliga- i tion. "This item represents the ' accumu- j fated deficit found in the special school' fund of the state, when, in the year! 1921. the school fund of the state was I transferred from a special fund support ed by a specific ad valorem tax to an ! appropriation account of the general 1 iiud to be provided out of flu- general revenues of the state. This amount did not represent excessive expenditures over revenue for the current year of 1921. and *he special session, recognizing this fact, did not provide the current revenue for it but directed that it be funded by cur rent borrowing to be renewed from time to time and eventually liquidated out of any surplus revenue that might arise in the future."

The investigation was precipitated by the charge of Corporation Commissioner ’A. J. Maxwell that the operating amount of the State for the period from Decem ber . 1020. to December 31, 1022, showed a deficit of $.">.000,000. I’re viously Governor Morrison and the Bud get Commission had announced that if taxes' levied but not collected by taken into consideration the condition of the 1 treasury on December 31. 1022. showed a prospective surplus of $2,400,000.
