They won't be having that kind of money to appropriate. State Budget Director La Verne Young estimated this week that there will be less than $6,000,000 of surplus state funds available at the end of the current bien nium. Two years ago the amount was $30,000,000. First financial requests of state departments and institutions for the next biennium were given to Young last week. No time will be lost, Young declared, In pre paring the state budget for the 1955-56 biennium so it may be printed and distributed among legislators immediately after they ure elected in November.
