ernor Mckelvie, before a joint session
of the, house and senate today recon-
mended in his budget for biennial ex.
penditures reduction of $500, ,076.S4
from appropriations I requested by
state expending agencies. Requests
called for expenditures Of $27,725, ,434.-
80. The governor recommended ex-
penditures of s22,025, 5,357.55.
The principal reductions recon-
mended are s1,500.000 from the
$1,000, 900 requested for yroad building
to meet like appropriation from the
federal government and $1,500,00o OF
federal funds which will not need to
be placed in the appropriation bill If
the legislature acts on the Mckelvie
recommendation. The federal govern
ment will meet any part of the $4,000
600. The governor suggests that the

tions.
