IONA Legislature and apply 1t to both
territories. This proposition was de-
feated by the votes of Senators Bev-
eridge. Dillingham;. Nelson. Durham.
Kean and Dick. Republicans. and

ITO the Boards and Departments OF
the State of Colorado.
Gentlemen: On account Of one or

ture Of appropriations, have deemed
it proper to call your attention to the
provisions of law relative thereto.

no board has right to expend more

The Legislature is vested with the
power to determine how much each
board shall be entitled to spend. and
the law expressly prohibits any board
from contracting for. or expanding.
any amount in excess Of the appro-
priation. no matter what consequences
will follow therefrom. So strict is
the law with relation to this matter
that it imposes a penalty for the viola
ton thereof. It is not for the governor.
nor the state elective officers. nor
members of boards to determine. that
