LINCOLN. April 14. (Special.)
Appropriations made by the session
of the legislature' Just closed will
come within about $402,087 of the
appropriations of the legislature of
1913.- unless the governor should
veto some of the bills which carry a
money consideration.
Appropriations Just made for the
coming blennium show $7,713,733.
The 1913 session showed a total ap
propriation of $8,115,820 by demo
cratic, figures. s
Other figures place the appropria
tion a little more, but as some of
the appropriations, notably the uni
versity maintenance fund which in
' eludes the cash fund on tuition, has
to be estimated, the difference comes
only in the way the estimate Is made.
As democrats will have the publish
ing of the figures, it will probably
be best to take the estimate from
democratic sources. . The two esti
mates do not differ greatly.
