disapprove Of Item :, Section 10, as
having been spent without authority
Of law. This is s1,150 due the secre-

$500 for water furnished BY the

eral fund. This is $3.50 for insur-

cause I think it should be paid from
the adjutant generals fund, 'S4OO for
repairing arsenal at Beaufort I dis
approve of Item 2, Section l3, be-
cause I believe it a useless expendl-
ture of money. This is $1,000 contin-

is not giving valuable return to the
taxpayers, salary of statistical clerk,

University Auditorium.
81 disapprove of Item 4, Section l9,
because the State is not in a financial
condition at this time to make the
appropriation. This is for the audi
torium building at the University of
SoS+h Carolina, S16,666.66, to be pro-
vided this year. I disapprove of Item

son. This is $4,000 for enlargement

cause T consider it useless and un-
necessary position. This is S72O for
paying stenographer for Prof. Tate.
Confederate Home.
ct disapprove of Item 8, Section "a,
because the constitution, in my opln-
ion, forbids donations by the leglsla-
ture Of public funds for private pur-
poses. This is $4,000 for the Confed-
crate home college, Charleston. I dis
approve of Item 2, Section rs, because
7 do not feel that the State is fnan-
cially able to make the improvement
AT this time. This is for building
aeating plant at Florence Reforma-
tory, $4,000. T disapproVe of Item 8,
Section 80, because do not believe
the clerk is necessary, as the secre-
c5ary should do the work. This Is s1,-
200 for indexing clerk in historical
commission. I disapprove of Item II,
Section 80, because I believe the CON:
'stitution forbids the donation IF pub
lie funds for private purposes. Thas
is $1,000 for the South Carolina Live
Stock association. I disapprove OF
Item of II and Item Is, Section 80, be-
cause these are societies composed Of
private individuals and do not belong
to the taxpayers of the State, and they
are charged for all admissions or 9TH
er privileges received from the same.
This is $4,000 and $1,000 for the State
agricultural society and State Color
ed fair. I disapprove of such items or
sections of Section 3S as are in conflict
with the foregoing d1sapprovals. Y
