Appropriations
When the appropriations OF the leg.

scrutinized it will be seen that this
board holds no light position.
Appropriations as near as can be
now calculated were passed to the to-
tai of S7.064, ,114..60. of which sum
S250,000 was out of rentals and old
territorial funds and will not have TO
come In. For public buildings total
OF si,5oo,oo0 was appropriated. All OF.
this the board of public affairs will
direct in the spending. or course, the
governor may veto much of this, as Il
is reported he does so intend. Big
Items he may blue pencil are S2.O32,-
672.5l for maintenance and equipment
of educational institutions. For main.
tenance OF the state departments, Off.
