Sfar man be judged the revence for 1893 will be about $2,050,000, and the expenditure, exclusive of extraordinary expenditure oborgentis against the Loan, will be about $1,940,000 It will be seen that the revenue of 1893 will probably be about $110,000 in excess of the ordinary expenditure, and consequently,
