94 On motion of Mr. Pearson, The report was received, and each item voted upon separately. All the items were adopted except the appropriation of $2,000 from the general fund, for labor in the Agricultural Department. It was thought by many of the members of the Board, that this labor could be paid for legally out of the State appropriation for the Agricultural Department. On this ground, a motion of Mr. Pearson to strike out the appropriation of $2,000 from the general fund, for labor on the farm, prevailed. On motion of Judge Brown, There was made, from the State appropriation for the Agricultural Department, an appropriation of $2,000, for labor on the farm, and the whole subject was referred to the Executive Committee, with instructions to make use of the State appropriation to pay for labor on the farms as far as they thought legal.
