bill will be the last measure acted upon
ny the Legislature and that mem bers of
the Finance Committees are of the opinion
appropriations may be SO arranged that it
will not be necessary to call for more than

it. From every section OF the State there
should go up protests against the heavy

As though still reigntd d the rose crowned year
And summer and my Love were here.

Poor day lies drowned IN floods of rain,
And ghosts knock at the window pane.

Total. ......... SD. .O06,

As there is about $75o,OOO remaining in
the treasury there would have to be raised
by taxation if all these appropriations are
adopted sum in excess of S15, 25o, 900. AS
the total assessed valuation of the property
OF the State is estimated at 81, 200, ,0O0, 600
such appropriations would entail an an
nual tax levy of 65 cents on the $1O0. This
sum, it goes without saying, is larger than
the people are willing to pay. 1t behooves
the Legislature, therefore, to make active

appropriation bills and reduce them con-
siderably below the figures given.
