ed to the legislature by Gov. Sidney
?. Osborn. The figures do not in
clude the amounts required for old
age pensions or per capita school
apportionments.
Major increases Of $485. .369.44 are
sought '0r the two state teachers
colleges and the University of Ari-
zona; $461, ,725 for the state hospital
for the instane, and $108, 855 fer the
state school for the deaf and blind,
at Tucson.
Practically every state admins
trative department asked for an
increase with the exception of the
state auditor, mine inspector and
supreme court, each asking for the
same amount as appropriated in
194f.
One department, the Arizona Fair
Commission, asked fer a reduction
of $1,000 for the ensuing two years.
In view Of the governor plea for
economy in the operation of the
state government, the departmental
estimate will have to be sharply
pared if the recommendations of
the chief executive are carried out.
