SALEM, Or.. Feb. 27. (Special.) Due to an error in enroillngr, there was considerable doubt this morning' as to whether or not the Legislature had ap propriated $60,000 for an addition' to the new receiving; ward at the State Insane Hospital In balero. The item was asked for in the general appropriation bill. The Senate allowed the Item, as the building Is practically incomplete without the second wing, but In the House the bill was pruned down and the item stricken out. The two houses appointed a jotat conference committee, and these recommended tnat the Senate recede, and disallow the appropriation. This report was adopted and this much Is snown on tne jour nals of both houses. When the bill appeared In the Secre tary of State's office this morning for filing, it was discovered that the offi cially enrolled bill carried the S60.000. The matter was referred to Attorney- General Crawford, and his opinion was that the error would not Invalidate tne entire bill, but only the item affected, and that a proper construction would give the precedence to tne recoros or the two houses, rather than to the bill itself. Consequently, the appropriation will not be available. Coburf Mill, to Work. Night Shift. titJUUl' ' - t' ..... , Manager A. C.
