GILLIAM ,arolina was assured of the e surplus appropriations bill I announced over a state-wide that he would sign the bill. Provisions of the $10,260,000 bill, passed by the General As sembly in the closing days of the 1947 session, provide for funds for the state-suported educational institutions of South Carolina. The bill specifigs that the money is to be spent for "new construc tion, enlargement of present fa cilities, and the purchase of new equipment" hy the schools. Thurmond, who had postponed his decision on the bill until a survey of the state finances was completed, said that the state treasury had a surplus of $14,989, 000 on June 30 and that revenue during the following months had increased this sum. After deduct ing the surplus appropriation, the treasury would still have a fund n excess of four million dollars, the governor said. The chief executive attributed the good condition of the state finances to increased revenue from the new liquor tax, the inheritance tax and other sources. Collections for the fiscal year are now esti mated at 70 million dollars, ten million over last year, giving the state a new surplus of two million by the first of the year, he de clared. "Competitive bids may now be called for," Thurmond said, "Which would have been impos sihie a few months ago. This elimi nates the expense of contracts." Prospcets of federal aid for edu ational institutions are still 'ague, according to the governor. .everal hills are pending in the >resent Congress which will give ome aid, he said. "I urge all institutions affected >y this bill to employ the great ,st care in contracting for the >uilding with these funds," the covernor said. No part of the appropriations or the university is earmarked or a specific purpose. Originally, prIov'ision w'as contained in the egislationi to provide funds for a ew law school building, but this 'as stricken in the final passage.
