late In considering the remaining ap-

asylum the governor cut the mainte-
nance from $145,000 to $4,000. and
also disapproved the item Of $1,000 for
boring an artesian we'll.
Forty thousand dollars for buying
additional farm lands was disap-
proved; also $17,5oo for a new laun-
dry. $4,000 for moving cottages to
the land which 1t was proposed to
buy. and cut the item Of $2500 for
laundry equipment to $1,000; $4,000
for hydro-therapeutic plant.
