STATE OF CALIFORNIA, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, To the Assembly of the State of California: I have to inform your honorable body that I have approved Assembly Bill No. 37-"An Act making appropriations for the support of the government of the State of California, for the thirty-seventh and thirty-eighth fiscal years"-with the exception of the following item on the eighth page thereof, to which I object, and disapprove, viz.: "For the erection and furnishing two infirinaries at Napa, fifty thousand dollars." I suppose this item is intended to provide for the payment for the erection of two infirmaries at the Napa Insane Asylum. Without discussing the proposition of whether the insertion of such an item in the General Appropriation Bill would authorize the erection of the building without other and further legislation upon the subject, I find other grounds of objection to the item, which I will proceed to state. The Legislature, at its present session, has provided for the erection of an asylum or hospital for the chronic insane, which bill has been approved by the Executive. The sum of two hundred and fifty thousand dollars had been appropriated for the erection of said building. When the building provided for is completed the crowded condition of the Stockton and Napa Asylums will be relieved, and I see no necessity for the erection of the two infirmaries at the Napa Asylum. For these reasons, I object to and disapprove of the item above set forth. GEORGE STONEMAN, CHAPTER CVII.
