APPROPRIATIONS TOO LARGE.
The State Treasurer Says he Can't Pay
Them ALL

In view of the fact, sometime ago
pointed out in this paper, that the ex-
penses of the State government have
been $4,000 more than the receipts,
and that the Legislature increased the
appropria thons nearly 100000 without
providing much additional revenue, State
Treasurer Worth has addressed the fol-
lowing letter to the heads of the various
institutions:
Il am sorry to inform you that owing
to the large appropriations made by the
late General Assembly and the decreased
valuations of the property in the State,
must advise you that 1 cannot pay any
extra appropriations during this year or
until find that l will have surplus
after paying the interest on the 4 per
cent bonds and the necessary running
expenses of the State government. I ad-
wise you OF the situation at this time so
that you may avoid making contra cts that
might embarras you"
