We therefore recommend that the expenditure made on the same be allowed and warrants drawn on the treasury for amount. We further recommend, however, that in all cases expenditures authoiized by this Board should not exceed the appropriations made therefor. Respectfully submitted, ALEX. McLEAN, G. A. FOLLANSiEE, Committee, The report was received and the recommendations adopted.
