Hara may go for a fortnight so as to make the circle of premiers complete.

(Spe cial.) That no deficiencies in the ap propriations for state departments or state institutions will receive the ap proval of Governor Hart should they be presented at the next session of the legislature in 1923, was made plain by a statement of the governor yesterday at a meeting of the admin istrative board, when unanimous ap proval was given to the course as outlined by the governor. When the administrative code began to function in April of this year. Gov ernor Hart requested of the ten di rectors that they save 15 per cent of the appropriations made by the legis lature for their respective depart ments and the governor announced that according to the reports he has received most of the departments have been able to make this saving. Should any unusual condition arise, the approval of the administrative board will be necessary before any of the 15 per cent may be expended. Inasmuch as the several depart ments of the code have so far been able to show a saving. Governor Hart announced at the board meeting that he felt that the institutions of higher education should do the same, and in rrder to impress upon the manage ment of the different schools that no deficiency bill will receive his ap proval, although passed by the legis lature, he has arranged meetings to be held the latter part of this week with the managing boards of the schools drawing near the financial limit, in which they will be informed that they must function within their appropriations. Governor Hart believes that his stand is a distinctive step for the re duction of taxation, since it has been a very common practice in times past for different branches of state gov ernment and state educational instt. tutions to exceed their appropriaations and seek relief at the next session of the legislature.
