secretary Of state for the purpose Of
ascertainlng how and when that in
stitution may draw from the public
treasury for maintenance, The Sec
Of state considers the home
ipon the same footing with other state
Institutions, In recognizing its claims.
J. b. Ormsby, OF the committee main
aimed that the secretary issue some

AS to the railroad commission, the We
OF state is disposed not TO Tn
their claims against the or

ne he has been pOwerless to issue yes
rrants, and holds he is not required as
