Demands that would unbalance the state executive department's budget will face the legislature's Joint committee on ways and means when it resumes its'- de liberations this week. These demands, for funds not allowed in the official budget; were not fully tabulated Saturday bat it was indicated they, would throw .the budget several 'thou sand dollars off. "' Possible offsets to non-budgeted appropriations are being ferreted oat by a special lay com mittee serving the . wsys -and means group. These may be found in favorable differences between estimated and actual receipts for the last biennium in sums worth considering, David ' Eccles, " state budget director, indicated. Consideration Planned The proposal of the budget di vision that the tax commission finance Its activities from its own funds rather than from the state general, fund will be considered at. the ways and means commit tee's first meeting this week. Its legality was questioned last week by Sen. W. H. Strsyer (D-Bsker), who held that all tax commission receipts must go into the general fund as a property tax offset The law provides that the commis sion's net proceeds shall be used for that purpose: Legislators hinted at a possi bility that . appropriations for higher education and relief might be slightly curtailed. A hearing on the former was held Friday; air ing of the public welfare budget may be delayed for some time. Budget Allocations The budget as it stands allo cates $21,690,452 to public wel fare as against a request for f 23, 569,663 from the state public wel fare commission. The state would contribute $9,250,000 the federal government $7,742,973 and the counties $4,697,479 under the ad ministration budget. The committee is withholding judgment on most of the bills re ferred to it, because they largely propose appropriations not in the budget. The committee to date has ap proved of budgets exceeding $10,000,000 in the aggregate, of which only some $2,000,000 is subject to legislative appropriation.
