ANNUAL REPORT. STATE OF OHIO, TREASURY DEPARTMENT. To His Excellency, GEORGE K. NASH, Governor of Ohio: SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith the Annual Report of the receipts and disbursements of the funds of the State for the fiscal year ending November 15th, 1901. It will be observed that the balance in the General Revenue Fund at the close of business, November 15th, 1900, was $1,151,217.48, while the balance in the fund at the close of business November 15th, 1901, is $1,226,664.46, showing a net increase in the balance on hand in the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending November 15th, 1901, of $75,446.98. I would also respectfully say that the aggregate cash balance of all funds in the Treasury November 15th, 1900, was $1,520,910.73, while at the close of business November 15th, 1901, the aggregate cash balance is $1,683, 723.54. This is an increase of the balance in favor of the year just closed in the sum of $162,812.81. The additional improvement in the condition of the Treasury balance in general, together with the increase of the balance in the General Revenue Fund in particular this year, over that of last year, continues to be a source of gratification, and the people of Ohio may be congratulated upon the very favorable condition of the financial affairs of the State at the close of another year. It affords me pleasure to say in addition to the above, that since my last report, the general utility and security of this office has been greatly improved by the construction of a new steel vault, steel filing cases and other sorely needed improvements, in order to facilitate with safety the transaction of the constantly increasing business, all which I have reason to believe is recognized and appreciated by those having business with the department. With great respect I have the honor to be, |
