ecause of the lack of availabl
uilding sites it was necessary t
eject them, Smith said. "W<
iust retain our beautiful and his
ric quadrangle free of suel
tructures. Also, we must reserv<
ites for the few permanent build

gislative action," he added.
President Smith declared thai
ne of the greatest needs of the
niversity is additional land fo
iilding sites. He added that "had
ich land been available, we would
ve been able to secure tempo
iry educational buildings to take
ire of our urgent needs. In fact,
r lack of sites we have reduced
ir requests even after they have
en approved. As it is, we have
d to improvise building sites on
ads and other undesirable loca
)ns. It is hoped that this crowd
condition will some day be re
ved."
The president has requested an
Iditional appropriation of one
illion dollars to purchase 21
res adjacent to the campus for
issible future building sites.

L. 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.
