 "lt is not necessary that an appro-, priation sufficient to cover the entire expense should be made. It is only necessary that the courts should have determined that it was desirable to build the bridge and make an appro- priation. jf4
 "The contract would not be limited to the amount of the appropriation, but an appropriation must have been made and part of it must be unex- pended at the time the contract is made.'
