The largest item approved ..was in the amount of $16,00.0 to put into operation the so-called motor ve hicle; title registration law enacted by the 1923 legislature, which failed to provide an appropriation for" administration." "it was explained by Sam A. Ko zer, . secretary of state, that it would 'cost, in the neighborhood of $65,000 to administer the law, but that incoming fees were esti mated at $60,000, and the defici ency appropriation would be suf ficient to take care of the im mediate needs. - In connection with a.requested deficiency appropriation of $16, 000 for defraying the cost of pav ing and sewer construction at the Monmouth state normal school, the emergency board, instructed the board of regents to pay the claim out of the millage tax for the institution. When this fund is exhausted the board indicated that it, would be willing to authorize a deficiency, appropriation, y Request for a deficiency appro priation of $4598, presented by J. D. Mickle, state dairy and food commissioner, brought tho great est amount of discussion. The item yfna approved by the legis lature hut later vetoed by Gover nor Pierce. A lively tilt occurred between the applicant, and. (lie governor. , . , . ; "If yon "bad listened to me this situation would sot hare happen ed Mr. Mickle said. 'Z'Zl "Yoa mean if yon had consulted with me this wouldn't have hap pened, the governor replied. ' Governor Pierce charged that Mr. Mickle had agreed with the budget commission relative to the amount of his appropriation but later Instigated a lobby to go be fore the ways and means commit tee and increase the amount seve rai thousands of dollars. This was resented- by Governor Pierce. It was finally agreed that Mr. ' Mickle should be allowed a de ficiency appropriation of, $600. Other expenses of his department will be defrayed out of his appro priation for general maintenance .until this fund is exhausted. C. A. Park, president of the state board, of horticulture, re quested $3,000 with which. to com bat the alfalfa weevil, but was told to use the funds of his depart ment until they -were exhausted and then ask for relief. Two other deficiency appropri ations were allowed. One was for $2C3 to defray the cost of travel ing expenses of circuit Judges and the other for $600 for a pension to Raleigh Wilson, ONG member at Corvallis.
