Erroneous crediting of federal money to general fund may be corrected. — The crediting of $677.35, which, by virtue of federal law, was really federal and not state money, to the general fund instead of to the vocational rehabilitation account was a clerical error which could be corrected without violation of N.M. Const., art. IV, § 30 or of this section. 1964 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 64-04.
