Among others la the oorreapondenor 111s enolossd 1s
n latter a;tdrbssed to you by Chairman Baker ln whloh he ed-
-~lses that ii the oalves are sold bT the Board of ContrcQ, mthe
money must be deposited to the orsdlt of the Qeneral Rsrenue
hnd or the State.*
3s agree with Judge Baker. Article 666, on thl8
?olnt, 1s too olear and unequlrooal to admit of w other’oon-
Struotlon. In pleln term 10 prorldes that when the property
or a state agsoy is sold by the Board of Control “thr ammy
I'roathe mle or auah property . . . shall bo deposited lo the
-tats Trsarury to the oredlt of tho General Revenue Fund.*
Very truly youre,
