Show COLORADO OUT OF MONEY. Slate Institutions Are Left Without Resources Re-sources of Any Kind, Biennial appropriations exceeding the revenue by 8500,000, were made by the fusion legislature of last year. The state treasury is bankrupt and state institutions not only have no money to carry them until next June, but already al-ready have a deficit of 8180,000. According to the law all appropriations appropria-tions in excess of revenues lapse after the period for which they were made, and an opinion just submitted to the governor by the attorney-general's office holds that the constitution forbids for-bids the incurring of indebtedness for the maintenance of state institutions. The auditor will probably refuse to sign their warrants and they will be left absolutely without resources. |
