909, $780,

port puts up to the legislature by fal
the biggest problem with which it has
to deal, for not before has there been
at any time quite such a demand fol
large appropriation and such excellent
arguments advanced for actual ex
penditures; and not before for many
years has there been such small sum
available for the extraordinary APP
preparations and such little opportun.
ity for the increase of the state reve-
nues.
