As county and city officials desire to know that the laws are not 

 being violated, and many of the dealers in this class of goods desire 

 to know that they are within the bounds of the law, many samples 

 of near-beer are sent to the Department for the determination of the 

 amount of alcohol present. The Department has no appropriation 

 for this work and only a limited amount of it can be done, as the 

 work for which the appropriation is made and which is required of 

 the Department must be done first.
