CHARLESTON, w Va, September
b0.-- Below will be found statement
pf all the appropriations made by this
Legislature for State expenditures for
the years 1899 and 1900, with the excep-
lion OF the expenses of the extended ses-
sion OF one day, s7.t9 the amounts spec
flied in the act creating the three min
ers hospitals $S1 900. and in the act
establishing the West Virginia HUI
name Society, $4,000. The items are
grouped under proper sub-headlngs, and
compared with tie appropriations Cor
the years 1883 and 1894, that being tie
last period when there was a Demo-
cratic Legislature and administration.
The appropriations for 1894 include
everything appropriated for those years
except the excuses OF an extended ses-
sion OF ten days. In any comparison
between the expenditures CT the two per-
iods, these omitted items are of course
not considered.
AS the total appropriations for any
two year period fall short OF the ex-
penditures and current liabilities in
Cured during that time at least as often
as they exceed them, they may be taken
as fairly equivalent to each other; thus
the appropriations made for the years
1884 are practically synonymous with
the expenditures for those years, as
those made by the Legislature just clos
ed may be presumed to be for the years
1899 and 1900 No expenditures on ac-
count OF schools except small amount
for printing and clerk hire in the Office
OF the State superintendent, are includ-
ed; nor is the cost OF the reassessment
|pf real estate given, as the appropria-
ion for that purpose does not desig
te any specific amount.
