W. H. Hart, auditor of stat?, says the payment of $1,000,000 on the state debt will not so deplete the state treasury that money will be lacking should the next General Assembly decide to build additions or new institutions for the insane and epileptics. Over $600,000 of the $1,000,000 has jnst been paid io Indiana by the government. The payment 6n the debt will save the 8 ate $30,000 a year interest, which

would go fur towards furnishing additional r<om for dependents. It is his opinion that with present state lew there wilt be plenty of money in thea»a’e ’reasvrv availab'e to pay any appropriations desired by the next Legislature.
