Cost Of War To Bulgaria.

New York Times 100 years ago today, January 12, 1913:
    The Bulgarian Minister or Finance in a recent statement to the National Legislature reported that the war with Turkey had resulted indirectly in a reduction of about $5,000,000 in the treasury receipts, but that this sum had been about made up by reductions in the non-military staff of the Government, and by suspension in other Government activities a deficit in the ordinary budget has been avoided. The Minister at the same time outlined the probable extraordinary requirements in connection with the war. In addition to $17,000,000 voted in September and $10,000,000 recently asked for there will shortly be needed, he said, another $30,000,000 to make payment for military stores, the purchase of which was enforced by the war.
