Reduce Horticultural Department
Governor Alexander contends
1913, 900 will be a sufficient ap-
preparation for the horticultural
department for the next two years
although it received $4,000 two
years ago.
He says the fish and game de-
partment collected 100000 dur
ing the last two years, that it
paid $4,000 to reimburse the gen.
eral fund for the purchase of Hey
burn park and practically nothing
is left. He says this department
needs thorough investigation at
the hands of competent men, that
the money was largely used for
travelling expenses, and that at
kleast $4,000 should have been
turned back into the general fund
He contends 100000 should be
the value of the fish product, most
of which now goes out of the state
He thinks it likely a wise plan
would be to divorce the fish in
dustry from the game and pro-
pagate more fish.
Lessen Library Expense
The message contends the
$4,000 appropriation for the trav-
cling library should be reduced
to $500.
He says the 100000 appropri-
ated for the Panama-Pacific ex-
position, 3,667.87 of which re-
mains, is sufficient.
1t is pointed out that the ex-
penses of the district courts have
grown from $4,000 in 1909 to
Sl93, 065 in 1913 which is unwar-
ranted. He contends that some
of the districts should be con-
solidated, and a reduction of $780,
600 could be made with safety.
He contends the governors
salary should be cut from $4,000
the year to $4,000; that the APP
preparation for the secretary OF
state, $36,275, should be reduced
at least $4,000, and declares that
too many reports that are sell
dom read are published by this
Office.
