There has been quite a saving on the
engrossing and enrolling forces Of the
legislature since the demand for re-
trenchment by the Popuhsts, but as the
records on this point do not appear to
be complete it is difficult to obtain the
exact figures, but suffice it to say that
it amounts to several thousand dollars
saved to the state. There are also sRV-
ings being made by almost all OF the
state institutions which are too numer-
GUS to mention.
Auditor Van Prather has also made q
large saving over former years by re-
ducing claims for fees made by sherifa
for taking prisoners to the penitentary'
For example: If a sheriff was away
from home forty y-eight hours he would
formerly charge per diem for six days
which was allowed, but for which he if
now allowed only two days. Also allow
ances have been made for roundabout
trips to the penitentisry while now the
auditor takes the map and counts up
direct route to Lansing, for which pay
is allowed only.
