ESTIMATE OF EXPENDITURES.
For the support of the State Govern
ment for the fifty-first and fifty-second
fiscal years, 1 estimate that it will re-
qllire for the general fund Sc, 53S,
44S66; for the school funds, $4,SGG,-
$50 and for the interest and sinking
funds, $3.50, $40, a total of $11, ,69S,-
O9S66. To this must be added the
amount to be raised for the State
University fund, estimated at S21i,-
$685. making a grand total to be raised
by taxation Of S11 ,912,96666.
These figures do not include the cost
of any new buildings or improvements
on old, but cover only those expendi-
lures with few exceptions already pro-
vided for by statute.
In the estimate for military purposes,
] have included the amounts requested
by the Adjutant General without
change. 1t will be noticed that the
estimate calls for two clerks, $6,400;
purchased uniforms, S30,O ,O00; purchase
of overcoats, $4,000 and encamp-
ments. $4,000. These are extraordinary
expenses, and are not covered by stat
ute The Adjutant General has this
to say concerning them:
Il wish to state in explanation of
the item of sc, 400. asked for additional
clerk hire. The war has made much
additional work for the office, which
| it will take many months to catch UP
with; but aside from that fact the reg
ular routine work of the office has
grown to such proportions that if prop
| erly kept up 1t is imperative that adGi-
| tional clerical help be granted the Of
| fice This office has been run short
| handed for a number of years
'The appropriation for uniforms and
overcoats is asked for to replace those
! turned over by the State to the Cali
| fornia volunteers, for which claims ag-
gregating over S5:5,O00 have been filed
with the War Department
