The unencumbered balance of the vote of $2,000,000 under the 1934 act is $979,234.43, which amount is available for expenditure during the current season. Whether it will all be spent will depend to a great extent on the progress that is made with various works, because it might be that some money would be unexpended this year, as was the case last year, on certain of the projects.
