Excerpt from 1935 Legislative Budget of the State of Montana Pursuant to Chapter 20, Revised Codes of Montana, 1921, as amended by Chapter 167 of the Session Laws of 1933, we have the honor of presenting herewith, the 1935 Legislative Budget. As in past years, we have prepared the budget with considerable thought in regard to statistics. During the past few years many inquiries have been made regarding the financial con dition of the State of Montana from the statistical side, and we hope that we have given you a clear picture of the finances of the State and its financial workings during the past biennium. Under Schedule K we have prepared the actual appropriations as provided by the Twenty Third Legislative Assembly and included therein the requests for the several institutions and departments. By reason of the many funds governed by specific laws, we have noted the requests for the entire revenue of their funds for use in the departments and institutions to which they pertain. We are at this time pleased to note that the estimated revenue as shown in Schedule E, as provided by the several departments is approximately equal to the requests for appropriations, both from the General Fund and the University Millage Fund, and no doubt after due deliberation by your honorable body, the State of Montana will have a balanced budget for the coming biennium. However, a budget system is effective only to the extent of the authority granted to control the operations and expenditures. Under Schedule I we have submitted the values of physical inventories as prepared by the several boards, departments and institutions. Chapter 66 of the laws of 1923 provides that every board, department and institution submit to the State Purchasing Agent an actual inventory at the end of each fiscal year. In many instances the law was not complied with. We have, therefor, used the last figures available in compiling this schedule. For the convenience of the Legislature in their deliberations, and the information of the general public we have provided a summary of the general revenue laws of the State of Montana in effect as of June 30, 1934. While there are many other revenue laws for specific purposes, we have set forth only those which pertain to funds for appropriations in connection with governmental operations.
