SEC. 4. And be it further enacted, That all funds in the
State Treasury at the end of each fiscal year, which are not di-
rectly obligated by some specific appropriation herein or here-
inbefore made, shall, at the end of each fiscal year, revert to
the general Treasury of the State, whether the same be now
carried as special funds or general funds; provided, however,
that this section shall not apply to the State Accident Fund,
nor to the State Game Protection Fund, nor to the receipts
