CHAPTER 206.

AN ACT making appropriations for the support of the State
Government and for the aid of sundry schools and institutions
and for other purposes for the fiscal years ending respectively
on September 30, 1919, and on September 30, 1920, and also
making certain appropriations to be paid out of the General
Treasury during the present fiscal year ending on September
30, 1918.

SECTION 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Mary-
land, That subject to the provisions of this Act the several
amounts named herein, or so much thereof as shall be sufficient
to accomplish the purposes designated by the respective appro-
priations, are hereby appropriated and authorized to be paid,
as hereinafter provided, to the respective departments, boards,
commissions and officers of the State, and for the several pur-
poses specified, for the fiscal year beginning October 1st, 1918,
and ending September 30th, 1919, and for the fiscal year be-
ginning October 1st, 1919, and ending September 30th, 1920,
as hereinafter indicated.

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That every department,
board, commission, or officer receiving an appropriation here-
under shall notify the Comptroller at least ten days before the
end of the fiscal year for which such appropriation is made,
whether and to what extent the unexpended balance of such
appropriation, if any there will be at the end of said fiscal
year, is needed to meet obligations incurred during that year
and which will be unpaid at the end thereof. Any unexpended
balance of such appropriation, against which there will be no
such outstanding obligations at the end of the fiscal year, shall
revert to the Treasury of the State at the end of such fiscal
year; provided, however, that appropriations for the acquisition
of land, buildings, equipment and new construction shall be
available for such purposes subsequent to the fiscal year for
which the same are made.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That the items and
amounts which hereinafter follow the sums appropriated, and
which are, respectively, entitled "Schedule," do not constitute
appropriations, but represent the initial plan of distribution
and apportionment of the appropriations to which they, respec-
tively, refer. Each appropriation shall be paid out only in
accordance with the Schedule therefor, if any, unless such
