     246.21 Contingent fund. 

    The commissioner of human services may permit a contingent 
 fund to remain in the hands of the accounting officer of any 
 such institution from which expenditures may be made in case of 
 actual emergency requiring immediate payment to prevent loss or 
 danger to the institution or its inmates and for the purpose of 
 paying freight, purchasing produce, livestock and other 
 commodities requiring a cash settlement, and for the purpose of 
 discounting bills incurred, but in all cases subject to revision 
 by the commissioner of human services.  An itemized statement of 
 every expenditure made during the month from such fund shall be 
 submitted to the commissioner under rules established by the 
 commissioner.  If necessary, the commissioner shall make proper 
 requisition upon the commissioner of finance for a warrant to 
 secure the contingent fund for each institution.
