AS TO MEDICINES.
Five thousand dollars were given for

wisely concluded that the appropria-

should stand. The item of $1,000 for
extra quarantine expenses in case of
emergency was stricken out.

to the commission of agriculture and
forestry there was breeze because the
item of $4,000 for incidentals was not
sufficiently specific. Consideration of
that particular item was deferred The
item for agricultural fairs was raised
from $3.50 to $4,000. Consideration of
the item of sl25OO for field and office

deferred but that department got $500
for taking care of the weather and SIS
for publishing maps.
WAR ON BOARD OF HEALTH.
Then came the appropriations for the
Board of Health, and there was trouble
at once. The item of $3,750 for general
expenses was put over. In the second
item of 81 $50 for disinfectants and vac
cine, the word vaccine was stricken out.

preparation, saying that $4,000 more
than two years ago had been asked
Brown called attention to the new law
providing for a salary for the president
and said that $4,000 a year was not 100

the item referred to committee to see
what could be done. McCandless said
he wanted that done before; the whole
increase was over s237O00. He said
that the Legislature intended to turn
over $S67 900 to the Board which didn't
know what to do with it. They were
too eXtravagant

Isenberg enumerated new officials
