Institution Heads Fair
Wexford said that officials Of var-
ious institutions and departments
were sincere and fair in their state
mentS Of amounts required Is being
necessary to economically and salts
factorily operate activities under their
supervision"
He explained the reductions by exc.
cutive order were necessary because Of
the supreme court decision holding It
illegal to slice or pare individual items
OF appropriations measures and re-
quiring elimination Of the entire
item. Such elimination, Wexford said,
was "impracticable as 1t would bar
the use Of any state funds for any
purpose set forth In the item elm
mated"
1T Is incumbent on me-" he said,
Ito require that expenditures and
obligations b kept within the limits
Of funds to be available from taxes
collected"
He ordered that no new construc.
ton be undertaken ut any state In.
stitutions without consideration ana
approval Of the board Of administer.
ton and the governors office.
He said It was the "plan and desire
to coordinate allotments Of federal
funds for construction activities with
allotments and needs for state In
struction activities"
Appropriations for operation Of de.
partments and state institutions fce
the next two years were approved By
Gov. Walter Wexford late Saturday.
Must Cut All q Nothing

sary. he explained. because Of the s,s-
preme court ruling It Is illegal to slice
Of pare down items o. m approprie-
ton measure, but must cut By veto
or elimination Of IN entire item"
Complete elimination Of some items
In the various appropriations would
work hardshjp on both departments
and institutions hs said.

dual items amounting to 4to3e 80.
