To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The legislature also omitted 73 OC^i THE NEW YORK STATE LEGISLATIVE BUDGET the clause in the governor's bill which provided for changes in salaries and transfers of men; instead they inserted a new clause, Section 12 of the appropriation bill (Chapter 646 of the Laws of 1916). This section directed the comptroller to make up defini- tions of the classifications of expenditures employed in the ap- propriation act and empowered him to amend the definitions at his discretion. It might be held that... this section gave the comptroller indi- rectly the power to authorize transfers between appropriation items, which had been denied the governor. But even if it did, it is questionable if the comptroller should exercise these powers. It is understood that the intent of the legislature in enacting this clause was to provide a means of escape from the rigidity of the itemized appropriations whenever conditions made the operation of important departments impossible under the extreme itemization. It appears, however, that the comptroller has been very con- servative in the exercise of the powers conferred upon him by this section.
