HARRY W. NICE, GOVERNOR. 175

priation there shall be no reimbursement of such excess nor
shall there be any liability or obligation upon the State to
make any appropriation hereafter to meet such deficit, and
the officer or members of such board, commission, depart-
ment or agency, or of the governing body of such State
institution who have made any such excessive expenditures,
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 methods
of making up any appropriation do not constitute appro-
priations, but represent the initial plan of disbursement
and apportionment of the appropriations of which they
are part. Each appropriation shall be paid out only in ac-
cordance with the schedule therefor, if any, unless such
schedule be amended within the limits of such appropria-
tion in the following manner:

The Senate of Maryland of the General Assembly of
1937 may by resolution provide for or authorize the amend-
ment of its schedule.

The House of Delegates of the General Assembly of 1937
may by resolution provide for or authorize the amend-
ment 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 of-
ficer may at any time submit in writing to the Governor an
amended schedule for the disbursement and apportionment
of the appropriations 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 appropriation shall be paid out in ac-
cordance with said amended schedule. Any such amended
schedule so submitted to the Governor may be withdrawn
