RUNNING SHORT
IN HIGHWAY FUND
Big Drain for Match Money - Large
Increase In Overhead Ex-
penSes of Department.

MONTPELIER. Jan. lS.-There is
every indication at the present time
that the appropriation made by the last
legislature for work in the state high
way department viii not provide suffi-
cient funds to carry on the work planned
up to the end of the fiscal year which is
July /. This WAS discovered in looking
over the figures at the office of Auditor
Benjamin Gates.
The appropriation, which is $3.50 600,
is seriously depleted at the present time
one of the big drains being through the
recent act of the legislature through
which the "mateh money is doubled
by the state.
Another very serious feature of the
noticeable increase is that i'm the saIar-
les and overhead expenses of the state
department of highways. The salaries
for instance, were increased approx
mately $4,000 and there has been big
increase in the present organization i'm
the Office evnense.
The total overhead figures for the
present wear, as compared with those
OF 1920, under the regime of ''Stod -
Bates. are as follows:
