"Although In a few instances the emergency board nas reiuseu to authorise expenditures in ex cess of the appropriations, it has ben the rule to authorise aaai tinna.1 fnnda to meet the deficit. life ways and, means committee should hare authority to. esti mate the possible; dencus or emergencies and provide ior in mamm in an ! emergency fund. These s expenditures 1 should not exceed 'the total .appropriations. A number of otherj bills went f nt the senate Hopper aionay but as a whole the session was quiet and legislators apparently were marking time awaiting the introduction of the Meier pro gram on publie utilities and on water power. .. ..

A bill Introduced by Senators Brown and Bennett amends! the so-called "gasoline cowboy law", so that actual t producers would net be required to obtain a deal ers license to sell their product.
