50. 1927. $s.os5.ooo.
 'Estinated amount of ls25-ls:7 appropriation that will not be used and lapse, $1.000,000.
 Receipts from the state prison. $276.000.
 Receipts from state pier. s1s.- coo.
 Expenses of motor vehicle de- partment paid out of fees s1,1ss,- 200.
 State armory site at New Haven. $z0o,o0o.
 Transferred from motor vehicle department receipts for state aid roads. $2.000,000.
 Estimated income from new sources of taxation $425.o00.
 The estimated income totals $42,- 17s,700.
 Conservative Estimate
 These estimates of income we believe are conservative and are based on past experience. The actual income available for appro- priations for the years 1s25-1926 shown by the comptroller's report was $36.423.45O.71. We believe that the board of finance estimate for tho years 1927-192S of S34,009,500 Is a conservative estimate.
 ''The treasurer's estimate of the cash balance we believe is a con- servative estimate. The estimated amount of appropriations that will not be used and will lapse Is based on past experience. For the period 1921-1923 the lapsed appropriations amounted to $2,425,974.59 and for the period 1923-1925. $1.5Ss.45s.21. We believe the treasurer's estimate of sl.oo0,ooo for this term is a con- servative estimate. Receipts from the state pier are easier to deter mine. and both of these items are up to the probable full amount of the receipts from these two sources.
 'The estimated receipts from the city Of New Haven for the new armory site Is the actual amount that will be received from New Haven for the present armory site in the event that the new armory is built.
 The item of $2,ooo,o0o diverted from automobile fees to state aid roads and S1.116.200 of tho motor vehicle department expenses paid out of its receipts, are really book keeping transactions added to both sides of the ledger. in order to con- form with changes in the laws which have been made at this ses- sion.
 The estimated income from new sources of $425,0OO is a very con- estimate handed us by the legislative committee on finance.
 The appropriation committee in their work this year have endeavor- ed as far as possible. to complete 1 the physical construction of as many state institutions as possible. l
 We have completed the immedi- ate building program for the Agri- cultural college at Storrs, for the Newington Home for Crippled Chil- dren at Newington. for the Con- necticut school for boys at Meriden. for the Mystic oral school at Mystic, the Connecticut agricultuarly ex- pertinent station at New Haven, Connecticut state prison at Wethers- 1 field, normal school at New Britain. at New Haven and the i armory at Bristol. With these pro- jects behind us we believe that it will be possible for the next general assembly to construct whatever are found to be necessary for Mansfield and for the insane, and the new office building. without the necessity of resorting to bond 1 issues."
 Senator Hall before taking up the statement, said he would like to ] read it at this time because there were a number of appropriation bills to come up for action. He se- cured the unanimous consent of the senate to read the statement, which, he said, would answer many ques- tions that had been put to him by members of the general assembly as to where the money was to come from to take care of appropriations being recommended by his commit tee.
 No S10,0O0,O0O Balance
 At the conclusion he supplement- ed the prepared statement with the remarks that he wished to correct an impression given in the house that the state had balance of $1O,- 00o,o0o for appropriations.
 He quoted figures on the states balance as of April 30, showing that the unexpended amount for which his committee would approve was $2,4o4.47o.77. By June 30, it was estimated that this amount would be around $3,- OO,OOo.
 On motion of Senator Shaw of Bedding. the senate authorized the printing of the statement in the journal.
 Senator Merritt Of Hartford com mended the appropriation commit tee and It's conscientious handling of aprapriation requests.
