Says Revenue Is Inadequate.
MY approval is withheld and all
of the aforementioned items in the
several bills set out by number and
title are vetoed because of the fact
that the revenue available from all
sources for the next two years I'M
der existing laws will be absolutely
inadequate to meet the total amount
of the appropriations" said Gov
ernor Donaghey. "A cut, therefore,
is imperative"
in many of the bills a larger part
OF the entire appropriation Is car
ried in single item. Could these |
large items be reduced many of the |
smaller items which appear abso- |
iuteiy necessary could be left in /
the bills. Under the law the chief |
executive can veto items in toto |
but cannot veto any part of any
item."

number of items in the general ap-
