Says.

The Budget Commission has di-
rected state agencies to spend no
more than one-fourth of their APP
preparations in the first quarter of
the new fiscal year.
Acting under authority given to
Il by the General Assembly in the
general appropriation bill (HB
294l the commission has sent a
letter to state agencies informing
them of the limitation on expendi-
lures.
Those which have a demstrable
need to spend more than one
fourth of their appropriations in
the first quarter are directed to
apply to the Budget Commission
for permission. Some agencies do
spend their funds unevenly be-
cause of seasonal considerations.
Normally. the Highway Depart
ment. for example, spends more
maintenance funds in the summer
than in the winter. and the mos
quito control division does a large
part of its work in the summer.
The legislation under which the
commission acted is Section IL of
HB 294. II says: THE Budget
Commission is hereby empowered
and directed to exercise such
control over the monthly and or
quarterly rates of agency expendi-
