during the carly days Of the first Sos

Humphreys of Mississippi on the first
day OF the session apprOpriating funds

These bills are identical and pro-
vide for an expenditure of $50. 900, GOO

The appropriation of this large sun
OF money, however. is conditioned up
on the states, or lcvee districts inter-

In this connection, it may be said
that the bill enbodies the ideas OF
