$3,5OO,OOO FOR RUNNING
STATE AFFAIRS ASKED
Governor Wants More Money

Appropriations totaling more thar
100000 are asked for in budgets
filed by different departments of thu
state government Friday and Satur
day with the state board of examin
ers. A dozen or more departments
and institutions are yet to file esti.
mates of money needed by them fol-
the next two years, but those now in
with other appropriations wanted
bring the total sums of money to be
asked for in the legislature up to
more than $3,5OO,OO0.
The state highway commission will
ask 100000 for road building pur-
poses; the six state educational in
situations want approximately ST.
100000 for buildings and mainten-
ance during the next two years and
the penitentiary has asked for $751;
900.
Budgets in which requests are con-
tanned for appropriations for 1917

ports of moneys spent during the
biennium just drawing to a close.

Governor Alexander in his report
says the executive department will
need $26,500 during the next two
years. The department was given
$2O,320 by the last legislature and
spent $40, 431.69, according to the
governors statement. The chief exc
cutive recommends an increase of
$3.50 for his private secretary for the
next biennium.
The secretary of states office wants
$36,450 The last legislature gave
that office $32,440.
State Treasurer Eagleson asks for
$41,000. This sum is double what
his office was given two years ago,
but is made necessary, he points out,
because of the extra work now
handled by his office for the state
land department. Much extra ex-
pense is thrown on his office, Eagle
son says, in taking care of loans
made by the land d 'partment, all of
which are handled thru his depart
ment under the present system.

The pure food department has
made a request for 100000. That
department was given like sum two
years ago.
Utilities Board Wants $4,000

n. provements and 100000 for

New York, Jan. 1.-The remedy for
any failure to close liquor saloons
here Sundays lies with the State Leg
isiature rather than with the city ad-
ministration, in the opinion of Mayor
Mitchell. as set forth in a letter to will
liam III. Anderson. State superintend.
cnt OF the Anti-Saioon League. Mr..
Anderson had appealed to the Mayor
to aid in obtaining legislation to allow
New York city to vote directly on the
license question. Mr.. Anderson refer
red TO the closing of the saloons In
Chicago Sundays.
Mayor Mitchell. in his reply, said the
city government of New York had no
such power as that possessed by the
Mayor and city government in Chi
|cago. Public sentiment in Chicago, he
said. can be given effect In way not
possible under New York laws The
Mayor asserted that persons who be-
lieve that the Mayor and Police Com
missioner can close all saloons Sunday
merely by issuance OF an order do not
understand the situation. He declared
that he was unwilling to bring back
the corrupt days of police debauchery
through 4 hypocriticai and fnsincere
latitude toward the excise question.
l1f 1t is felt that the existing liquor
laws are productive of an intolerab1e
condition the remedy lies wholly In
the hands Of the Legislature. and cit
tixens who desire a change should seek
relief at Albany"
