          Ye therofore construe the Act as exoluding from
Its operationthose State dopartmcntowhich are financed
s~~~usivalyfrom spccinl funds. Therefore, in our opinion,
the provisions of Se3atte6111 No. 190 do not apply to the
state Board of Ejnrber.Exa%iners.
                                 Yours very tNly
