terms, as to time and security, as the authorities of the respective in-
stitutions shall determine in each case; provided, however, that the rate

The auditor of public accounts shall make no payment to any of
the said institutions on account of the said students’ loan funds unless
and until the institution applying for such payment shall have furnished
the said auditor of public accounts a certificate from the superintendent
of public instruction that such institution has complied in all respects
with the foregoing requirements of this act in relation thereto.

_ The State accountant shall annually audit and exhibit in his annual
report the account of the said funds at each of the said institutions.

hospitals for the insane in monthly installments, or otherwise, as, in
his judgment, the condition of the State treasury will permit.
5. No State department, institution or other agency receiving ap-
propriations under the provisions of this act shall exceed the amount
of its appropriations, except in an emergency, and then only with the
consent and approval of the governor in writing, first obtained; and
if any such State department, institution or other agency shall exceed
the amount of its appropriation without such consent and approval of
the governor, there shall be no reimbursement of said excess, nor shall
there be any liability or obligation upon the State to make any appro-
priation hereafter to meet such deficit, and the members of any govern-
ing board of any State department, institution or other agency, or, if
there be no governing board, the head of any State department, institu-
tion or other agency, making any such excessive expenditures—in the
case of members of governing boards, who shall have voted therefor—
shall, in the discretion of the governor, be deemed guilty of neglect of
official duty, and be subject to removal therefor.

It shall not be lawful for the auditor of public accounts to pay any
State department, institution or other agency, including the State
hospitals for the insane and the State colony for epileptics and the
feeble-minded at Colony, any money except as is provided for in this
act, or in pursuance of some act of the general assembly making spe-
cial appropriation therefor.

agency, for which appropriations are made, shall, in his annual report,

for such State department, institution or other agency, classified and
itemized in accordance with the budget classifications adopted by the
governor ; and every such officer of this State for whose department,
institution or agency appropriations are hereby made, shall make an-
nually a report of all other sums received by such department, institu-
tion, officer, or other agency from any source, and such reports and
accounts shall embrace the expenditure of alle funds appropriated, in-
cluding the interest on bonds held by such State departments, institu-
tions, officers, or other agencies, and hereinbefore directed to be paid
to them, which reports shall be forwarded to the general assembly and
laid before both houses at each session thereof.

7. None of the monies mentioned in this act shall be expended
for any other purposes than those for which they are specifically ap-
propriated, and it shall be the duty of the governor, as chief budget
officer of the State, or his deputy, to see that this provision is strictly
observed; and, should he find that the said monies are not being
expended in accordance with the provisions of this act, he is hereby
given the power to restrain the auditor of public accounts from making
further disbursements, in whole or in part, out of said appropriations,
to the offending State department, institution, officer or other agency
receiving appropriations under the provisions of this act; provided,
however, that the several appropriations made by this act ‘out of the
general fund of the State treasury may not only be used for the pur-
poses specified in this act, but authority is hereby given to the govern-
ing board of any State department, institution or other agency, or, if

tion or other agency named in this act, to transfer, within the re-

tions from the object for which specifically appropriated or set aside

ments, subject, however, in every case, to the consent and approval of
the governor, in writing, first obtained; and provided that the total
amount appropriated to the respective department, institution or other
agency shall in no case be exceeded ; and, further provided, that should
appropriations be withheld by the governor from any State depart-
ment, institution, officer, or other agency, named in this act, as herein
provided, or should transfers be authorized by the governor, as herein
provided, he shall set forth fully, in each case, the reasons for with-
holding said appropriations or for authorizing the transfer of said
appropriations, as the case may be, in the next budget submitted to the
general assembly in accordance with law.

three, and on February twenty-ninth, nineteen hundred and twenty-
four, unexpended at the close of business on February twenty-
ninth, nineteen hundred and twenty-four, shall revert to and
become a part of the general fund of the State treasury of
the Commonwealth of Virginia, and shall not thereafter be paid
by the auditor of public accounts; and the same shall be charged off
upon the books of his office; and it is hereby further provided that
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars of the monies standing to the
credit of the memorial library fund on March first, nineteen hundred
and twenty-two, derived from the appropriations of one hundred and
