G. Sorlie today com- pleted consideration of bills present- ed to him by the recent legislature. A checkup showed that the execu- tive vetoed 20 measures in their en- tirety and cut out certain itms in the general state budget and agricul. tural college appropriation measures. The Mayville normal appropriation carried $178,850 for maintenance and operation of that institution. The new building at the Mandan state training school will cost $75,000 and will be used as a dormitory for girls, ; The appropriation of $200,000 for Jamestown will be used in construct- ing a new ward building at the state hospital for the insane. _ The Veto M In his partial veto of the agricul- jtural college appropriation, the ex- ecutive said: “I have before me House Bill No. 40, making an appropriation to pay the general maintenance, improve- ments and repairs, equipment, mis- neous and public service of the Itural college at Fargo. that appropriation provided for this institution includes new buildings as follows: Wing on agricultural build- ing. : Wing on Seienc Equipment ..... Total “Halt : 6,000 $176,000 “The above items were not recom- mended by the budget bourd, and owing to the fact the legislature has seen fit to make appropriations con- siderably in excess of available funds, it becomes necessary for me to veto these three items. “The budget board worked sin- cerely and honestly for six weeks during the fall to determine where the state of North Dakota could best invest approximat $8,000,000 and after careful study they recommend: “the appropriations itemized in their report to the legislature, I hope the time will soon come when legislators will pay more attention to the recommendations of the wet board, If attention is to be to the recommendations report- d by the budget board then why con- tinue to incur the expense of oper- ti such board? “With the exception of the items above eliminated, I have approved of House Bill No. 40, and herewith file the same.” $441,900 Cut From Appropriations A check-up today showed that the | Bovernor has vetoed appropriations sotatiing $441,900, divided as follows: Agricultural college, $176,000; items in general state budget $15,900; re- volving fund to enable Bank of North Dakota to pay delinquent taxes on roperty to which it has taken title on mortgage foreclosure, $250,000, Appropriations as passed by. the legislature totalled $9,148,470.58. As scaled down by the executive they total $8,706,570.58, When the budget board began work last fall the estimated income of the state for the bi-ennium was $8,200,- That figure has been aug- mented, the executive figures, by the transfer of $100,000 from the state bridge fund, $50,000 transferred from the gasoline tax fund; $200,000 from the new act requiring registration of titles of ownership to automobiles. and $200,000 from the new tax on snuff sales and increased collections from the state cigarette tax. The new law making more stringent rules and regulations regarding the sale of cigarettes should materially in- crease the revenue from that source, the executive estimated. Surplus in Bonus Fund In scaling down the appropriations to meet the state’s income no count was taken of the fact that a surplus may exist in the fund to pay the state soldiers’ bonus. The amount which will be necessary cannot be determined until all the claims have been filed but it is expected in many quarters that a substantial surplus will have accrued by the end of the biennium, The state has been retiring bonus claims at the rate. of $1,000,000 a year, a special one-mill tax being levied for that purpose. Claims al- ready filed would use up only slight- ly more than the $1,000,000 wl will be received in 1928, it is said. Tew tae agricultural college build- ere the only appropriations for new construction killed by. the ex- aces in ition to new buildi at the De: Lake school for the. deaf, Wahpeton school of science and the state university at Grand Forks, recommended by the budget board. and new buildings at Mandan and Jamestown approved today, appro- few buildings at ise institution fot new buildii o ein or Teeble-minded, Grafton, and the tuberculosis sanitarium at Dunseith.
