different estimates, arid in propertions determined How.
" Art. 4. The sum of 140,000,000 f. comprises that of

be changed, except in virtue of a special law.

the Royal Ordonnance, of the 10th September, 4th and
25th of October last.

plete the sum of 140 millions, is divided as follows:

" Art. 3. The sum of 75 millions, to be applied aecovd-
ing to the preceding article to the works to be executed

that department, and paid out of the credit of 7,000,000 f,
opened to him, so far as that credit will go.
" The surplus, should there be any, after this liquida•
tion, shall be paid on the ordonnances of the Minister o'
