The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1897-01-13

In the past years estimates have been
made to the legislature of the cost OF
erecting new buildings for various state
institutions and appropria lions have been
made on the basis of those estimates
Later, when the authorities have pro-
ceoed to construct the structures author
lied by laN. the appropriations are found
barely sufficient 10 erect the buildings,
but not properly to equip the same. The
equipment must then await the action of
the next session OF the legislature OF be
paid for out OF the fund for current ex-
penses. thus seriously Interfering with
the operation of the institution as con-
templated by the law-making power.
This opens the way for suspicion of bad
faith or poor management. Possibly this
condition cannot always be prevented.
but in the interest of sound business man
agement, il should be guarded against as
fully as practical. To this end recon-
mend that state institutions asking for
appropriations for new buildings be re-
Quired TO submit detailed estimate ties for
the same, always including proper equip
ments. In estimates for current expenses
and appropria tons for the same, the cost
OF needed repairs and of new equipments
or permanent character should be
stated as a separate item. and a more
rigid system of accounting insisted upon.
Such a system should limit the use of
funds appropriated by the legislature for
current expenses from being applied for
repairs and equipments that can be fore
seen and brought TO the attention of the
law-making power.
