the office of the chief executive and
pave the way for early adjourn
ment was evident in the report OF
the appropriation committee of the
senate which recommended that the.
appropriation for the governor be
increased from $64,600 to $S1,600 and
that for the commission of agricul-l
ture and horticulture from $132,O0O'
to $178,OO0 for the biennium 1927-27
and 1928-29. The appropriation for
the governors office carried prov1-
sion for the governors $4,000 con-
tingent fund which has been the
cause of some friction for the past
few weeks.
AS the bill was approved by the
afternoon, it carried a grand total
of $4,925,SO2.1O or almost 100000
more than it carried when it was
reported out by the house appro-
priations committee. At that time,
however, provision had not been
made for the national guard, the
agriculture and horticulture commits
sion and a few other departments.
The figure for the banking depart
ment was boosted from $41,100s to
$63, 900 to care for the anticipated

Yavapai, bill setting up a board of
control in the persons of five bank
ers.

So, 500 more for first payment on a

an additional $4,000. Two thousand
