and State Mining Bureau the amounts
are the same as for the forty seventh
and forty eighth fiscal years
The Secretary of the State Board of
Horticulture asks for $4,000 for uses
of the board. The Legislature of 1895
failed to make an appropriation for this
board, either for salaries or for its use.
The salaries have been paid out of the
general fund, in accordance with an
opinion of the Attorney General, and |
have included them in this estimate.
The amount desired for the use of the
board l have not included, preferring
to leave the matter entirely with the
Legislature.
The Supreme Court Commission, the
Dairy Bureau and Bureau of High
ways go out of existence during the
present fiscal year, unless given 4 new
lease of life by the incoming Legislat-
ure, and L have therefore excluded them
| from my estimate. Likewise, the Com
missioner of Public Works and the
Debris Commissioner, there being a Sc
rious question regarding the term for
which these offices We're created.
A number of new buildings and i'm
provements will be asked for by the
not attempted any estimate of their
cost, nor can I judge of their necessity
from information at my command In
view, however, of the large appropria-
tions made for such purposes during the
preceding four sessions of the Legislat-
ure, the necessity should be made very
apparent before any further appropri-
ations are made.
The total general fund estimate for
the forty-ninth and fiftieth fiscal years
is $6,O2I 164 16, a reduction of about
81 OoOOOO, when compared with the esti-
mate of two years ago. This reduction
is caused by the elimination of the
items for support of aged indigents,
