BUDGET FOR LARGER AMOUNT The coming report to the legsla ture of the budget committee is quite certain to call for at least slightly larger regular appropriations than were authorized by the Legislature during the season of 1921. The regular appropriations for a two-year period made at least ses sion of the Legislature, totalled $6,- 488,580. The exact figures of the new appropriation will not be made known until the report is received from the printer. It is noticeable that no request has been made for funds for enlarging the state prison at Windsor which it has been reported is overcrowded. Special appropriations of $1,298, 063 were authorized by the last ses sion of the Legislature for the two year period. This money went main ly for highways and" construction work at public institutions. The next Legislature will have placed before it the first fully itemized budget that has ever been prepared in this state. If the members wish to make cuts in the interest of economy, the specific items will be before ttem. ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o Q o ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Aubrey Akin Celebrates Birthday and Engagements Conjointly The home of Mr. and Mrs. A.
