Eschbach intimated that some Of

believed the requests Of most Of the
State institutions are more reason

and that the cut in the institution
estimates may not be so large on the
average as those in department esu-
mates.
It was indicated that the cuts in
institutional estimates will be applied
largely TO salaries and expenses OF
employed personnel rather than to
items that concern the inmates di-
rectly.

The longest time before the com

Collects Fees
Under the 1919 law. the conseva-

the exclusive use of that department.
One member of the budget commits
