Legislative Appropriation Figures.

The 1913 legislature appropriated just
s4OS .S1492 more than did the 1911 ses-
sion, not including in the 1913 figures
the funds reappropriated to the several
state institutions and departments. 1t
is probable that these reappropriated
fees will reach nearly the 100000 mark,
making the 1918 allowances about $780,
600 in excess of the 1911 appropr1a-
tons In 1911 the Legislature appropri-
ated directly and in reappropriate ted
fees Just SS,375.S8401. The 1913 legis-
lature appropriated directly just S.
sS.7S4 SOS. SO, or s4OS, S14.92 more than the
total amount expended two years ago.
These figures are shown in records
made up today in the office of State
Auditor w. E. Davis. Not until July
/ will the auditor be able to determine
the exact amount of reappropriated
funds. The fiscal year expires at that
time and the reappropriated fees in
cIudes money which legally diverts to
the state treasury and to the general
revenue fund, provided it has not been
spent by the several departments. In
the recent session of the Legislature
about $125,0O0 was reappropriated to
Kansas university and to the agricul
tural college. Other reappropriated
funds will amount to about $4,000.
But not until the books are closed
July /. will the exact increase in ap-
prQDriatiOnS be known.
