The first county to break away from vast ‘Mariposa ereated in 1852 largely for the purpose of providing county jobs for certain Mariposa politicians, as it had no population of its own. It extended from the ridge dividing the Kiugs and San Joaquin Rivers to the Te-hachapi Mountains. ' Stanislaus was created in 1854 by eutting it off from the mountain district of Tuolumne County. The fol‘lowing year the remaining valley portion of Mariposa broke away as Merced County, which now had several ~hundred settlers. . By 1856 there was a considerable ‘population of miners in the foothills along. the San Joaquin River and the "army had established Fort Miller near present Friant Dam to control ‘the Indians.

STATE CASH BALANCE NOW $96,464,615 Stace Controller Harry B. Riley One announced that the state’s gen‘eral fund cash excess over current just 31, 1043. This is slgihtly less than the all time high of $97,114,618 which. was reached on July 31 this year, and is more than double the $42,288,481 cash excess one year ago. : Riley pointed out that in June, 1940, the largest cash deficiency in tthe state’s history was’ reached, amounting to $82,110,559. Thus, the cash condition of the general fund, has improved since that time to the Kune of $178,675,174. However, eautioned Riley, the present healthy cash position should not lead us to expect that the same phenomenal increase will continue. On the contrary large decreases in revenue are anticipated in the present biennium as a result of recent legislation reducing taxes and ear marking a large portion of former general fund revenues for the post war tmployment reserve fund. . General fund revenues deposited ‘in the state treasury in July and August this year totaled $44,829,1224—-an increase of $3,819,000 or 9.5 per ‘cent over the same period last year. General fund expenditures during . the first two months of the present ‘fiscal year, as announced by Riley, ‘totaled $32,539,495—an increase of -$19,596,628 over the same _ period last year. The major portion of this however, Riley pointed out, was caused by the payment from the general fund ot the state highway fund of. $13,500,000 in accord‘ance with recent legislation. An increase of $4,521,602 in cost of aid’ to aged was reported. This, increase, istated Riley is due almost entirely 1to the increased proportion of this 'aid which is borne by the state as a result of 1943 ‘legislation. . increase, BORN , PHENDOLA—In Grass Valley, Nevada County, September 11, to Mr. and Mrs. William Pendola, a gon.

However, eautioned Riley, the present healthy cash position should not lead us to expect that the same phenomenal increase will continue. On the contrary large decreases in revenue are anticipated in the present biennium as a result of recent legislation reducing taxes and ear marking a large portion of former general fund revenues for the post war tmployment reserve fund. . General fund revenues deposited ‘in the state treasury in July and August this year totaled $44,829,1224—-an increase of $3,819,000 or 9.5 per ‘cent over the same period last year. General fund expenditures during . the first two months of the present ‘fiscal year, as announced by Riley, ‘totaled $32,539,495—an increase of -$19,596,628 over the same _ period last year. The major portion of this however, Riley pointed out, was caused by the payment from the general fund ot the state highway fund of. $13,500,000 in accord‘ance with recent legislation. An increase of $4,521,602 in cost of aid’ to aged was reported. This, increase, istated Riley is due almost entirely 1to the increased proportion of this 'aid which is borne by the state as a result of 1943 ‘legislation. . increase, BORN , PHENDOLA—In Grass Valley, Nevada County, September 11, to Mr. and Mrs. William Pendola, a gon.
