the ground that the money, even
though set apart for certain purpose,
had not been specifically appropriated

Treasurer Young began to pay out the
money under the decision of the Dau-
phin county court, but at the same time
took an appeal to the Supreme Court in
order that it might be decided by the
highest tribunal The Dauphin county
court, which upheld the State High
way Department, is sustained by to-
day s decision.
