ial funds represent unexpended sums
appropriated for various permanent inn

work is nearly done and not yet paid
for in others where contracts are out.

waiting for the opening of spring to do
work that for various reasons was de-

support funds OF these Institutions
there are credit balances aggregating
66.947.23, against which are outstanding
bills for $l4262.3S. These are not
properly all outstanding bills as in
some cases they may represent merely
contracts for future delivery of goods.
This balance in the support fund is
much lower than formerly, due to the
high prices of materials. 1t has been
found difficult to maintain the balance
under existing conditions. For instance.
the coal cost dollar a ton more the
past winter than year ago. and the
state uses $4,000 tons annually. which
would make a difference OF $4,000 in
the support fund on this item alone. But
during the summer the balance in
creases because expenses are less, and
this time fthe year the balance is
at its lowest.
