to the respective departments, boards, commissions and officers
of the State, and to the respective schools and institutions, and
for the several purposes specified, for the fiscal year beginning

SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That every department,
board, commission, officer or institution receiving an appro-
priation hereunder shall notify the Comptroller at least ten
days before1 the end of the fiscal year for which such appro-
priation 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 dur-
ing 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 the fiscal year; provided, however, that appropriations for
the acquisition of land, buildings, equipment and new con-
struction shall be available for such purposes subsequent to the
fiscal year for which the same are made, if approval of the
Governor is obtained before the end of such fiscal year; other-
wise such appropriation which may be unexpended or unap-
propriated as above set out shall revert in the same manner
and to the same extent as other appropriations.

SEC. 3. And be it further enacted, That if any additional
funds from any source whatever in excess of the appropria-
tions herein made shall come into the hands of any depart-
ment, board, commission, officer, or institution of the State,
the same may be expended by such department, board, com-
mission, officer or institution, with the approval of the Gov-
ernor; except in the case of funds derived from gifts or
legacies, any such excess not so expended shall revert to the
Treasury of the State at the end of the fiscal year in which
the same is received by such department, board, commission,
officer or institution, unless there shall be an outstanding obli-
gation against the same incurred with the approval of the
Governor. Any funds derived from gifts or legacies and not
dedicated by any Act of Congress or laws of this State to some
specific purpose or purposes shall be expended subject to the
terms of such gift or legacy, provided that the Governor shall
assent to the acceptance of such gift or legacy.
