"In our audits of the various districts' accounts
and records, we have found a considerable variation
between the Districts' unexpended balances that will
result in a relatively small amount being repaid by
some Districts, whereas other Districts will be re-
quired to repay a considerable portion or all of the
money they have received from the State, if they pay
only the amount appropriated to them by House Bill
No. 190. On the other hand, if Section 5 of House Bill
No. 190 applies to the amount appropriated by both
House Bill No. 97, 51st Legislature, and House Bill
No. 190, 52nd Legislature, all Districts would be re-
quired to ultimately repay the total amount that has
been appropriated to them."
Sections 1 and 2 of House Bill 190, Acts 52nd Leg.,
R.S. 1951, ch. 497, p. 1206, read as follows:

appropriated to and granted the several soil conserva-
tion districts of Texas for the fiscal year ending Au-
gust 31, 1950, and for the fiscal year ending August 31,
1951, are hereby reappropriated and granted to such
soil conservation districts. A soil conservation dis-
trict shall be eligible to receive grants for each period
of the biennium after it has been duly organized and a
Certificate of Organization for the district has been
approved and signed by the Secretary of State. All
grants to soil conservation districts shall be made by
the State Soil Conservation Board based on the Board's
determination of equity and need of the district apply-
ing for the grant.
"Sec. 2. Approval of all grants of assistance to
soil conservation districts as provided in this Act
shall be certified to the State Comptroller of Public
Accounts by the State Soil Conservation Board. Such
certification or approval by the State Soil Conserva-
tion Board, presented to the Comptroller, shall be suf-
ficient authority for the Comptroller to issue his war-
rants against any appropriation made for grants to soil
conservation districts and shall be also sufficient au-
thority for the State Treasurer to honor payment of
such warrants.
Section 5 of House Bill 190 reads, in part, as follows:
