organic or statute laws, or for contingent
expense, and there shall remain any portion
OF 1t unexpended at the end Of the year for

after all legal claims against it for said year
shall have been paid. then it shall be the duty
OF the Auditor of Public Accounts to cancel
any such balance Of appropriation, and
each succeeding year he shall open new

carrying forward any unexpended balance
OF appropriation made for any previous
year; provided, that this provision shall not
apply to appropriations made to pay the
debt OF the State, principal and interest,

priation made by act No. 72 of 1871 for the
payment OF outstanding warrants of the
board OF public works; and that section 1877
OF the Revised Statutes of 1870 be, and the

$29,6S9 W, appropriated for the use of the
Senate by act No. 80 OF 1873, and also TO
