DEAF, INDIANA STATE SCHOOL FOR--TRAVELING AND HOTEL EXPENSES UNDER ACT OF 1907. June 3, 1907. Hon. Richard 0. Johnson, Superintendent, Indiana State School for the Deaf, City: Dear Sir-Replying to your favor of May 11th, in which you ask whether the legislature of 1907 confined traveling and hotel expenses incurred on behalf of your institution to those incurred within the state of Indiana, I beg to say that I do not so construe the statute. Substantially the same question has been presented to -me by the board of state charities, and I enclose herewith copy of opin- ion rendered upon the same. Under this construction of the law, the general maintenance fund available for the school for the deaf may, in part, be ex- pended for legitimate traveling and hotel expenses, although the latter are not confined to the state limits. (S'ee opinion dated April 23, 1907, to Hon. A. W. Butler.) INSANE, SOUTHEASTERN HOSPITAL FOR-APPROPRIA- TIONS OF 1905 AND 1907. June 5, 1907. I-ron. J. Frank Hanly, Governor of Indiana: Dear Sir-The question has been presented to me whether the commissioners for the construction of the Southeastern Hospital for the Insane may use the appropriations made for the benefit of that institution by the general assembly of 1905, for the same purposes which the specific appropriations of 1907 were made to cover, without thereby losing their right to use the latter also, when they shall become available. In 1905 the legislature provided as follows (Acts 1905, p. 31): "For the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this act there is hereby appropriated out of any funds in the state treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of five hundred sixty thousand dollars, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be dxpended by the said board of commissioners as herein provided; of this sum sixty thou- sand dollars shall be available November 1, 1905: two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, June 1, 1906; two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, January 1, 1907."
