ODELL TO SAVE 4 MILLION.
WILL EXERCISE VETO POWER on MANY
ITEMS IN APPROPRIATION ACTS.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE

y
Albany. May Ex-Governor odell was at work
all day and tonight upon the appropriation
acts in company with Senators Ellsworth ana
Higgins and Speaker Nixon and Assemblymau
Aids. It was learned that the Governor would
veto appropriations amounting 10 nearly If not
quite S1000000
The Governor has made the innovation OF
vetoing the separate items in minor appropria-
tion acts. Hitherto governors limited their We
toes in this respect to the General Approprla-
ton act. the Supply bill and the Supplemental
Supply bill State Architect Helms was among
those summoned before the Governor. and to-
gether the Governor and Mr. Helms went over
all the plans for State buildings and repairs 10
these buildings The result was a reduction IN
the appropriation of S1.OO0.O00 for this purpose
II has been known for some time that the
Governor looked with disfavor upon the propo-
sition to expend any more money IN the pul
chase Of Adirondack lands. because the owners
Of those lands were raising their prices 10 an
exorbitant point. There will therefore DE no
appropriation this year Of $250,OOO for the pur-
chase Of more lands for the Forest Preserve.
A bill Of $4,000 for printing executed by the
Wynkoop- -HaIIenbeck Company also meets with
a veto the Governor being resolved TO reduce
the cost of the State printing. The Governor
will sign the appropriation acts tomorrow, and
with them viii he a memorandum expressing
his disapproval Of the various items vetoed.
1t is said that the low State tax rate was
based upon the probable total Of the appropria-
tions which the Governor would approve Of and
not upon the appropriations contained in the
acts mentioned. the fact being perceived that
some of the appropriations would not meet with
his approval.
The State departments. bureaus and commits
siOns will all be put upon an economical basis
nv the Governors Vetoes of appropriation acts.
Rarely in the history Of the State has there
been such a reduction of the cost OF running
various branches Of the State government.
Every bureau has had to give good reasons for
every appropriation for IT,
