This was discovered in read- ing the proof and the change made in the original typewritten copy. However, no change was made in the carbon copy and th's went to the e ing room and was made up In the certified copy as 30,000, The state auditor will hold that as a deciston of the supreme court made years ago dec me ed that the intention of the legislature should govern- when it was evident that an error had heen made fhat the appropriation will stand at the | lower figures.
