To the Honorable Senate and House
OF Representatives:
Section 81 of Chapter of the Re-
vised Statutes requires that when
ever any dDDIOpI lGllOIl VI luliN ID GA
pended all bills and accounts pre-
sented to the State Auditor and
drawn on said expended appropria--
, ton or fund shall not be approved
F., by him, but shall be reported by
him to the next session of the Legis-
! lature, etc" The law establishing
| the State Contingent Fund author
ICES warrants to be drawn upon
and charged to, and paid out of said
fund, to pay outstanding bills or ac-
counts that were properly charge
able to the several appropriations
previous to the first day of July OF
each year."
In an opinion from the Attorney
! General to this office Interpreting the
| two acts above the following Ian
euage was used: at was undoubtedly
the intention Of the Legislature tc
limit claims which could be paid out
of this fund to those which became
/ properly charSeable to the several
appropriations within a year previous
to the year in which the bill is pre-
scented to the Governor and Councll
| Any other Interpretation would IN
yolve such sweeping powers and sc
much authority over the money OF
the State that we cannot believe thai
| the Legislature ever INTENDED 10 re-
linquish so much authority 10 the
Executive Department.
