We are of the opinionthat said opinionis corfrect,and thereforeaffirm

except pursuantto appropriation made by the Legislature,and further
providesthat no appropriation shall be made for a longerperiod then
tyo years. Constitution, ArticleVIII, Section 6. Under these PrOVisiO&

moneys for expenditurefor partic@ar purposes,the accountingofficesof
this State have no authorityto Issuewarrantsupon the Treasuryin payment
of expenditures made for such purposes.
