4 THIS VEUl: UMAHA, MUDAX. JUL.I X, IVZ1. m m m m ' If T S ! Bross Predicts $2,000,000 Will Be Saved by State McKelvie Code Administra- tion Doing Good Work, Secretary of Finance Declares. Lincoln. June 30. (Special.) A balance of $2,000,000 will be in the state treasury at the end of the bi ennium, according to a statement to day by Phil Bross, secretary of the department of finance and revenue. This savings, Bross declared, is due to a plan inaugurated by Gov ernor McKelvie which will call for a probable 10 per cent of the total appropriations to be set aside as a reserve for contingencies, before the quarterly estimates of state depart ments are made up and approved by the governor. "This plan," Bross said, '''has been followed in the control of the ex penditures for tfie civil administra tive code department for the last two yean, and under this plan not only were there no deficiencies in the code departments but of the appropriations available for expenditure by the civil administrative code department, about $,100,000 has been returned to the general fund of the state as un expended." Under the new plan, as arranged, the expending agencies in making their quarterly estimates, will show an estimate for each appropriation granted them by the legislature and for each activity carried on by their department. The estimates also will show how much is expected to be pent, for the different "objects of expenditure" such as "salaries and wages," "expense," "supplies" and "equipment." Make Monthly Report. By the 10th of each month, all activities of the state will report to the department of financ; the amount Of their expenditures. The new system also provides for a uniform system of accounting and bookkeeping for all state agencies. Another new departure of the State administration made possible by the last legislature is the fixing of the fiscal year from Julv 1 to July I, instead of from April to April. In order to make a uniform fiscal year the legislature this year was obliged to make appropriations for 27 month instead of 24 months as has been the custom heretofore. The total appropriations for th? fj months, according to a detailed Statement by Bross today, is $30,091, S3.V23. The total appropriations for the 24 months. $26,513,771.05. Total Appropriations.
