less than the expenditure of 81, 94l :

period reported by the State Auditor

on Ways and Means will adhere to
its plan to raise the license taxes,
but hope is still entertained in some
quarters that it will not be driven

Many hopes of even minor appro-

State may be expected. Strive as TIE
committee did, it counld not find a
penny for ehe jefferson Davis or
Beauregard monuments, for instance
or ether worthy causes, and all must
possess their souls in patience until
the stringency is relieved in the Treas
ury.
Nor will the request for $150,000
for the new courthouse in New Or
leans be granted, and the commission
Will be obliged to struggle along as
best " may until the next apropria-
ton bill is settled.
