To-day the claim of the trustees of the
State Normal School at Los Angeles in the
sum of 1856 for expenses in attending a
meeting OF Normal School trustees held
at San. Jose by request of Governor Budd
was rejected. This action was taken by
reas on OF an opinion rendered by Attorney
General Fitzgerald that no appropriation
was made for his purpose by the LegisIa-
tufe, and, in consequence, the claim pos
sessed. no Legality.
The; claims of the YountviIle Home
were laid over in order to ascertain
whe Their that Institution had been decided
to the State, as was provided Tor during
the last Legislature.
State institution before any of the funds
of the State can be expended for it's sup
port.
Tne bills of the sHaybor Commission
met the same fate. The claims were not
-iteinized and failed to state how much
had been :exDended for extras and how
m ueh on contracts.

that it Will. cost at least $150, 900
or 5000 900 more than was expected

MANY OF the contractors have been al
