ney General Reed has ruled in connec-
ton with an appropriation made by the

grounds, just when an appropriation
lapses. Only a part was used. 1900 being
left Of the amount. It has become nee
essary to build an addition to the armory
and he holds the balance left has not
lapsed. This would apply to all appro-
priations Of two years ago. The consti-
tuition covering the mater reads as fol-
lows:
Each legislature shall make appropria-
tons for the expenses of the government
until the expiration of the fiscal quarter
after the adjournment of the next reg
ular session and all appropriations shall
end with that quarter.
The end of the fiscal year is November
50. Reports of state officers all end with
that date. This would make each fiscal
quarter, according to the attorney gen
eral, end February %. May 81, August
81 and November 30. He holds that as the
legislature did not adjourn until some
time In April the next fiscal quarter
would begin June / and end August 81
consequently the biennium for appropria-
tons made by the 1913 legislature will
not end until August 81. 1915. and those
appropriations cannot lapse until that
date.

that the city OF Topeka had voted a levy
of one-fourth of a mill to be used TO pay
expenses of the Topeka fair and that a
free gate would be made for alilvisitors
was interesting to Secretary Mellor of
the Nebraska State fair. He figures that
this would raise about $1,000 and might
cover the amount needed for the Topeka
show. The Topeka fair is a much
smaller than the Nebraska state fair,
and is not the state fair of Kansas, that
being held at Hutchinson.
Mr.. Mellor was asked IL he would be In
favor of Lincoln putting up the same pro-
position In order to give a free gate OF
the Nebraska fair and said that that
would be all right. but that IL would
take twice that amount to make up for
the loss of the gate receipts. He thought
half mill levy might meet the ex-
penses as It would do away with the
expense of gate keepers and the like
which costs annually about 5000.
The Topeka proposition carried by
about 1000 majority.
