of the institutions. While the main
tepanee appropriations will be more
those for building improvements viii
be less. The appropriations for main

tons of the board of control. There
will probably be no appropriations for
improvements of the fair grounds but
the usual sum of $3.50 under the law
will not be disturbed.

be moved in about two years to San
Pedro valley and $4,000 dollars ap-
propriated for new buildings. Thirty
