 The general appropriation bills up- on which the budget committee has been working for some time will be introduced today. They have been most carefully considered and an eff fort has been made to keep the ap- propriation within the revenues avail able for meeting them.

The total budget for this before in the history of the state, but it is believed that the financial affairs are being arranged in such a way that the obligations will be met.
 During recent years the books of the state treasurer have been clut- tered with flood of special funds. With each session of the legislature, the number has grown until it is now fourteen different kinds of special funds. The house yesterday passed bill wwhich originated in the sen- ate providing for the transfer of all of these funds to the general revenue fund. This is done for the purpose of simplifying the bookkeeping.
