FUND ALMOST
EXHAUSTED
Reorganization of Admins
tration May Be Held Up
From Lack of Money.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. lS.-The
contingent fund OF the state, provided
BY the legislature to meet emergencies
In the state government, is so far ex-
hausted that the new state admins
tration may not be able to carry on
many contemplated projects in the
reorganization Of the states business
on this account. ,.. 80.
The legislature appropriated $780,
900 for the biennial period from July
l. 1921, to July l, 1928. There was a
balance Of $4,511.51 In the fund on
July ], the beginning Of the new BIZ
ennial period. There ia now in. the
fund. according to the state auditors
books. $1S,02l.51.
In less than five months in office
the former administration spent two
thirds Of the entire fund provided for
a two-year period.
Disbursements recorded under the
old administration included transfers
to various departments and a loan OF
10000 to the hail insurance depart
ment which is expected to be repaid.
Audit May Be Delayed.
The new administration desires to
make an audit Of all the, states bust
ness, but probably will be unable to
do 60 because Of the. condition Of the
contingent fund. Cost of printing
pubNclty pamphlets Tor the June pm
mary and November election probably
will have to be paid from this fund
and such payment would virtually ex-
haust the fund.
No general audit Of the state de-
partments and institutions has been
made since Governor Hanna was In
office, although contemplated by, Law
each two years.
The heavy payments made by the
industrial commission in It's bond sale
campaign also has placed the fund o,
that commission in such condition
that the new administration will per
haps not be able to make as extensive
q naudit, and investigation Of the con.
dition Of the state industries as 1t had
expected. 1t is, expected, however
that the commission Will be able te
follow the audit OF the bank with q
report on the Home Builders associ.
