therefore probably balanced each other, while in the 
 
fiscal year 1940 the withdrawals will undoubtedly be
 
higher than the formation of new reserves. The deficits
 
that are to be expected in the communal budgets in the
 
fiscal year 1940 will probably be covered almost ex-
 
clusively by the breaking up of reserves, in doing which
 
the reserves not appearing in the budgets of the Communes
 
will be employed as far as possible. So in our accounts
 
only the surplus of the reserves established by the
 
Finance Administrations in the fiscal year 1938, of
 
approximately 300 million RM more than the withdrawals
 
from surplus, is to be considered. Hence the amount of
 
money needed by the public administration, less that for
 
amortization of debts and formation of communal reserves,
 
is composed of the following amounts:
