THE APPROPRIATIONS
Over $4,000 10 Stricken From the
List by the Executive.

Inc appropriations Dill dS IL phSScu
the senate last week contained items
OF expense for state purposes during
the next two years far more than tho
states revenues for the like period.
When the document reached the house
nearly 100000 WIS added to the ex-
cess OF expenditures over all possible
receipts.
When the bill reached Governor
Spry he discovered that he was asked
TO attach his signature TO bill to
pay S217 900 moro than the state would
have to give. AS beginning In the
way OF trimming down the list Of ap-
portionments, the executive used a
hatchet and sliced of at one stroke
5000, the amount intended for the
support and maintenance of high
schools. After that he used plane,
and when he got through the appro-
priations had been reduced In the sum
OF s122.S91.s
"I would not consider for a moment
proposition OF having the disburse-
mcnts exceed the revenues by more
than s150.000, or thereabouts, declared
Governor Spry, and from his letter to
the secretary of state 1t will be seen
that he cut down the appropriations
accordingly. The governors commu-
nioation to Secretary Tingey follows:
