the bill is8enerous because it allows an
increase Of $2s00 in the amount Tor
current expenses. This year the total
allowed r6r that item is 81 500. Where
only $4,000 have been allowed In years
gone by. Then there is an increase of
$4,000 in the amount allowed for sub
sistence, the total appropriation under
tiIait head in the present bill being
S125.000. There is zone reduction in the
appropriations for the Home but that
ls Iilt. a very serious matter. The APP
preparation for, household Is fixed at
$4,000. which is a reduction Of $1,000
Bus, the, new barracks, which lrave
been 4 source of difficulty for some
years because the friends ofAthe Home
were unable to secure the requisite ap-
propria'tion. are locked out for well
this year. The house committee on
appropriations recommends an Yappro-
piiation of $50, 900. for furniture. Then
there is an appropriation of $4,000 for
constructing the coal shed and for con-
s'tructing the trestlework for the rail
road approach. Thesapprupiitation for
the farm is fixed this year at Sill 900.
