an institution. do hope that this Sen
ate will appropriate this $4,000 for this
institution"
Mr. Pyle-"I will state that there is
girl in that institution to day who comes
from the city Of Dover
Mr. Alrlchs-"I agree with the sena-
tors from New Castle. We can do great
deal OF good by making this additional
appropriation. don't think by the state
auditors estimated receipts and expend
itures that the state treasury is In such
a very bad condition. The estimated
receipts over expenditures amount TO
little over 81 600. and In that the $40 600
is repaid to the school fund do not
think we shall be compelled to borrow
from the school fund this time. There is
SIG 900 or $i7. 900 that was appropriated
for purposes lRst session that will not be
appropriated this time / think the
treasury Is In g condition to justify this
and that the money will be well spent
