advice and consent of the senate, unless the initial appointments
are otherwise provided for in this act.

If this act shall go into effect prior to the expiration of the
present fiscal year, the present existing departments, bureaus,
offices, boards, commissions, and other organizations of the state
government affected by this act shall continue, and the officers and
employes therein shall continue to serve until the expiration of the
present fiscal year for which appropriations have been made, unless
their terms of office expire prior thereto; and the reorganization
herein provided for shall be put into effect and the officers whose
positions are hereby created shall assume their duties at the
commencement of the succeeding fiscal year.

SECTION 5. This act is hereby declared to be an emergency law
necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health
and safety. The reasons for such necessity lie in facts, which
two-thirds of all the members elected to each branch of the general
assembly have considered, found and determined and which are
separately set forth herein, as follows:

The eighty-third general assembly created a joint legislative
committee to "investigate all of the * * * offices which have been
created by the general assembly * * * with a view of * * * combining
and centralizing the duties of the various departments, eliminating
such as are useless and securing for the state of Ohio such a
reorganization of its governmental activities as will promote
greater efficiency and greater economy therein." Said committee made
exhaustive investigations and published numerous reports, declaring
the necessity of reorganizing fundamentally the executive branch of
the state government in order to promote efficiency and conserve the
public funds. Upon the organization of the eighty-fourth general
assembly, special committees were appointed in each house thereof to
consider the recommendations of the former joint committee. The
governor, in his message to the general assembly, recommended action
along the general lines indicated by the former committee's report.
Wide publicity has been given to various projected plans of
reorganization.

According to the annual reports of the auditor of state, the
balances subject to draft in the general revenue fund of the state,
from which many of the activities of the state government are
supported, had shrunk from more than two million dollars on June
30th, 19
