COMMUNICATIONS.

From His Honor. the MayOr-Veto-
To the Honorable the President and Com
mon Council of the City of St. Paul:
a herewith return without my approval
the resolution transferring TO the general
fund / 2,343.34, the premium on the $780,
100 OF Robert street bridge bonds. for the
reason that this sum is IS much a part of
the proceeds of the sale OF those bonds as
any other part. and it can no more be di-
Vided and ;hus transferred than One-half,
me-touTth or any other specific amount of
he proceeds of such sale. All the proceeds
constitute a specific fund for q special pur-
pose and If in the end q surplus exists, it
may be transferred by authority Oflaw to
any designated fund, most reasonably, l
should think. to the sinking fund.
Until the bridge is completed it is not
safe to say there will be a surplus, and
should there be a deficiency. money cannot
be diverted from the general or any other
funds to make it up. The IS a manifest
prOpriety in the law which directs that:
"All orders drawn upon the Treasurer shall
specify the specific purpose for which they
were drawn and shall be payable generally
out of any fund in the general FUND belong
Ing 10 the city; but no such order shall be
paid ont of the bridge fund. or any other
fund which has been specifically pledged as
aforesaid. etc"
The Robert street bridge fund Is a statu-
tory one and must be held intact for the
purpose for which it was created.
