Governor's Veto.

Approved April 8, 1922 except as follows: I hereby disapprove and spec fically veto the following items in this bill (House Bill No. 958) entitled “An Act to appropriate money to defray the expenses of the legislative, executive and judicial departments of the state government,' to-wit:

(Salary supreme court reporter for 1922 $ 3,600.00)
(Salary supreme court reporter for 1923 3,600.00)
(Salary stenographer supreme court reporter
for 1922

1,500.00)
(Salary stenographer supreme court reporter
for 1923

1,500.00
Each of the said items are disapproved and vetoed for the follow-
ing reasons:

The said persons are wholly unnecessary as officials ar employes. and hence this would be a needless expenditure of the state's money. All other items of this b'll are approved.
