SACRAMENTO, CAL. March 27.-In his
review of the general appropriation bill
Governor Budd has issued the following
digest:
This bill, being Assembly bill 617, en-
titled can act making appropriations for the
| support OF the government of the State of Cali
| fornia for the forty-seventh and forty-eighth
| fiscal years. is approved, with the exceptions
OF the following items, to which object
| To the support of Whittier State School.
$245, 900.
This item is objected TO and not approved for
the reason that the support of said Whittier
School for the forty-seventh and forty-eighth
fiscal years is provided for in separate and in
dependent bill, which has been already ap-
proved.
For the purchase of periodicals, scientific an
paratus and use of library museum and furni-
ture at the San Jose Normal School, $1,000.
These Items are objected to and not approved
for the reason that the sums are excessive and
may be taken from the amount appropriated
for the support of said institution by and with
the consent of the Board of Examiners when
| the same is found to be necessary.
For the care and improvement of grounds at
the San Jose Normal School, $4,000.
This item is objected to and not allowed for
| the reason that separate bill for the care and
improvement of said grounds has already been
passed by the Legislature and approved by me.
For the purchase of scientific apparatus and
| periodicals and use of library and museum at
the Los Angeles Normal School, $4,000.
These items are objected to and not approved
Tor the reason that the same are excessive and
may be taken from the amount appropriated
! for the support of said institution by and with
| the consent of the Board of Examiners, when
the same is found to be necessary, and further
more the same are provided for by Senate bill
| 1O4, approved by message.
For the purchase of scientific apparatus and
periodicals and use of library and museum at
! Chico Normal School, $25OO.
These items are objected to for the same
reasons as apply to the San Jose institution.
/ For orphans and half-orphans, $3.50, 900.
This item is not approved for the reason that
| by and under article ", section 20, of the
constitution of the State of California this item
! cannot be included in general appropriation
bill
The sum of 1922 800 for the aid of agricul-
| tural districts 1 to 45.
This item is objected to and not approved for
the reason that the same is excessive and not
necessary and is an unealled-for tax upon the
people of the State OF California and also for
the causes set forth in my inaugural address,
delivered upon January IL, 1895, which are
| as folloWs
The agricultural societies now managed are Of
but little benefit to the people; there is but
|
Dut small rivalry in anything except horseracing
! Three annual fairs, south of Tehachapi one
| DetWeen that point and Sacramento, and north
| OF sacramento, would serve better to stimulate a
wholesome spirit Of emulation and rivalry than the
| present plan OF fair in nearly every county en-
couraged by State aid. The place of meeting should
be changed yearly, and an annual appropriation of
$4,000 for each would be amply sufficient, in add-
! tion TO the means provided by local directors
Three distinct societies and State society
| would he aYiSf
And, further, because of the figures given in
! such inaugural address, showing that while
California was the twenty-second in popula-
| t1on, 1t was frstin rank of expenditures for its
agricultural fairs. Had the appropriations for
| the district agricultural fairs been reduced to
reasonable figures, would have willingly ap-
proved of aid to them until a proper system
| could have been inaugurated, but under the
circumstances and in view of the hard times it
is impossible for me to approve OF any appro-
| prfation for any fair except the State fair
The Governor to-day approved many
