§ 43. Specific appropriations limited as to use; certain

appropriations to be specific. Money appropriated for a specific purpose

shall not be used for any other purpose, and the comptroller shall not

draw a warrant for the payment of any sum appropriated, unless it

clearly appears from the detailed statement presented to him by the

person demanding the same as required by this chapter, that the purposes

for which such money is demanded are those for which it was

appropriated. The comptroller shall not audit any claim for salary,

labor or wages, unless an appropriation applicable thereto has been

already made specifying the amount thereof appropriated for such

purpose.

Except as otherwise expressly provided, the comptroller shall not

audit any claim or account or draw a warrant for the payment of moneys

for the purchase of an aircraft intended primarily for the purpose of

carrying passengers or the rent of an aircraft for such purpose for a

period longer than ten days. The provision of this section shall not

apply to the necessary rental of automobiles for construction and

maintenance work on the highways of the state or for grade crossing

elimination work.
