are provided Tor under existing laws.
4 am Of the opinion that the approval
OF this bill would place upon counties
an expense not warranted BY amy ex-
listing necessity or requirement Of
public policy. H h; III }5s .SSi }i 5
~ s. B. 81. Authorizing county com
missioners to create special fund for
protection Of live stock from theft.
This bill is vetoed for the reason
that it is SO sweeping in enactment
and covers such a large number Of
actions of various municipal and
other corporations in its proposal
valuations that, in my opinion, it is
opposed to good public policy.
H. B. 166. Amending law relating
% liens for taxes. s$ AZ. z.
s This bill is vetoed because 1t sub
ordinates liens for taxes to other in
cumbrances, which I believe is op-
posed to good public policy. 53
s. B. 1853. Appropriating 5000
for academy of science at Wahpeton.
The following items in this bill are
vetoed: For the purchase or erec.
ton of a building, 100000; for
furnishing and equipping said build
ing, $4,000. The item of $1,000 for
maintenance is approved The We
toed items are disapproved because
the appropriations of the ninth legis-
lative assembly are largely in excess
Of the probable revenues of the state.
Under these circumstances large
appropriation for the erection of a
building cannot be approved, except
upon the ground of urgent necessity.
cannot see that the necessity exists.
This institution in it's present state
of advancement will not suffer If its
work is done in temporary quarters
until such time as the finances of
the state will permit the erection of
a building. The income of the insti-
tuition from it's land endowment, with
the item of $1,000 for maintenance
will enable it to carry On its work
in a. creditable manner and build up
such an Institution as the state will
provide for in such manner as its
finances will permit. N S..l ,
H. B. 179. Relating to the fore.
closure of liens, requiring the holder
to foreclose on written request from
the owner or his agent. IS.
This bill is vetoed for the reason
that its provisions are ambiguous,
and q possible construction of the
proposed enactment might compel
actions to foreclose all liens to be
commenced within twelve months
from the time this act would become
effective to prevent liens from becom
ing void. do not believe that such
an enactment is in line with GOOD
public policy, and this bill, If ap
proved, might work to the disadvant
age of large number OF persons
against whose property liens might
have to be summarily enforced.
H. B. 1874. Making it unlawful 70,
boards Of directors, commissioners
trustees, regents or persons to ex
pend money in excess Of appropria
tons and providing monthly reports
to the governor.
This bill Is vetoed for the reason
that, in my opinion, the repeal Of sec
ton 1923 of the revised codes /,
against good public policy. Tie per
sons charged with responsibility un
der this section are sworn officers Of
the state. The authority granted is
I believe, wisely bestowed. Were
this law repealed, a special session
Of the legislative assembly would be
the only means of dealing with the
emergencies that not infrequently
arise in every state. I, do not think
dt is good public policy to divest the
officials of the state of all discretion.
ary power to deal with the emergenc.
les that may arise. .&y.s ..ss, H. ,.,.,..
