honorable Marvin hall, page 3 (0-2243)
interpreting the statute heretofore, the procedure followed as indicated in
your letter has been pursued, without requiring a prior deposit of. money
sufficient to defray the expenses, and the expenses have been erroneously
paid out of the appropriation made to your department by tae Legislature.
This mistake can and should be corrected by depositing to the credit of
your appropriation an amount collected from the person or company re-
questing the investigation sufficient to reimburse your traveling expense
appropriation for the amount erroneously regarded as chargeable thereto.
This procedure does not result in a violation of the provisions of the
traveling expense rider appended to Senate Bill 427, Acts of the 46th
Legislature. It does not result in an expenditure for traveling expenses by
your department in excess of the amount of money itemized in the appro-
priation bill for that purpose, but merely insures that the full amount of
money appropriated by the Legislature for traveling expenses for your
department shall be applied to the purposes for which it was intended to
be available.
Yours very truly,
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
