358 LAWS OF MARYLAND. [CH. 176

gation upon the State to make any appropriation hereafter to
meet such deficit, and the officer or the members of such board,
commission, department or agency, or of the governing body of
such State institution who have made any such excessive ex-
penditures, shall, in the discretion of the Governor, be deemed
guilty of neglect of official duty and shall be subject to removal
therefor.

SEC. 7. And be it further enacted, That the items and
amounts which are hereafter set out to show the method of
making up any appropriation do not constitute appropriations,
but represent the initial plan of disbursement and apportion-
ment of the apropriations of which they are part. Each appro-
priation shall be paid out only in accordance with the schedule
therefor, if any, unless such schedule be amended within the
limits of such appropriation in the following manner:

The Senate of Maryland of the General Assembly of 1927
may by resolution provide for or authorize the amendment of
its schedule.

The House of Delegates of the General Assembly of 1927
may by resolution provide for or authorize the amendment of
its schedule.

The Governor may himself make an amended schedule, if
the same be necessary, with respect to the appropriations for
the Executive Department, and upon its transmission to the
Comptroller the appropriation for such department shall be
paid out in accordance with such amended schedule.

Any department, board, commission, institution or officer
may at any time submit in writing to the Governor an amended
schedule for the disbursement and apportionment of the appro-
priations made to it or him. If the Governor shall approve
such amended schedule he shall transmit the same, with his
certificate of approval, to the Comptroller and thereafter such
appropriations shall be paid out in accordance with said
amended schedule. Any such amended schedule so submitted
to the Governor may be withdrawn at any time before the
Governor has acted thereon. Any amended schedule approved
by the Governor may be again amended at any time in like
manner and with like effect. All amendments and schedules
made or approved by the Governor shall be reported by him to
the next session of the General Assembly.

SEC. 8. And be it further enacted, That the Comptroller
shall establish from the unexpended balance in the Treasury
a revolving fund of not more than $100, 000, for the purpose of
paying for purchases made by the Central Purchasing Bureau
