amount of $5,000 be and hereby is authorized to increase the 1962 General Fund
• appropriation for Agricultural and Botanical supplies (510.301)9 which appropria-
tion account is charged with the cost of spray materials, from $10,000 to

herein authorized be financed from General Fund miscellaneous revenues, and that
the Finance Director and Comptroller be and hereby is authorized and directed to
