association criticising conditions at

called attention to the fact that
finger printing at the boys' school,
to which the Osborne report object

In spite of the fact that general
fund revenues for the next biennium
will exceed those of the 1939-40 bi
ennium by approximately $1,500,000
the legislature will actually have less
money available for appropriation
purposes than it had two years ago.
This is due to the fact that relief
needs will dip into the general fund
for approximately $2,500,000 to sup
plement profits from the state's li
quor monopoly. This drain on the
treasury, exceeding the 1939 approp
