BOISE, March 9.-Today officia
Boise Is settling down to dull rou
tine, and from now On the state hous
officials will devote their time to re
adjusting themselves to the new law
passed by the 18th legislature. Con
siderable uneasiness is manifested il
official circles as to what the gov
ernor will do with several appropria
tion measures before him.
There is some fear that he may ust
the knife in trimming some of then
still further, supplementing the cuts
made by the legislature. He is almost
certain to pare items in the educational
budget as well as in the general ap-
preparations measure.
The governor today signed several
House bills but offered no vetoes.
1t is understood that the Gem coun-
ty bill and the fish and game bill are
among those which will meet with his
disapprOval.
With the close of the legislature he
has ten days instead of five in which
to either approve or veto.
Both Lieutenant Governor Taylor
and Speaker Conner will remain here
for period cleaning up the work of
both houses.
Members of the legislature are rap
idly leaving the city and soon all will
have gene.
Governor Alexander expects to leave
for the east during this month and dur
ing his absence Lieutenant Governor
Taylor will act as chief executive.
