Spoleto Festival U.SA officials are trying to figure out how to recover from a $900,000 deficit this year. The Spoleto board's executive committee found out Tuesday the festival is $1.8 million in debt, taking into account deficits from previous years. "We're here on a very serious matter," Chairman Homer Burrous told the boards executive com mittee. Burrous said while fund raising and ticket salet came close to targets for this season, expenses wen well over budget. Greg McLain, a certified public accountant wh< audits the festival's books, said there were expensa that didn't show up in the budget.

The State House Committee, with its majority worried about delaying the threeyear project, voted 6-4 along party lines to accept Caddell Construction's bid of $40.2 million for renovations that were expected to cost $33 million. Committee chairman Verne Smith, a state senator from Greer, said asking for new bids would delay the project and consume potential savings and could also keep lawmkers out of the Statehouse until 1999. "I just think it is false economy for us to delay the project and try to get by cheaper," Smith said. "It's time to fish or cut bait." But it could invite legal action from Morganti National, the Danbury, Conn.-based contractor that submitted the lowest bid of $43.6 million on the state's original proposal. The renovation includes a new dome and extensive work on the layout and mechanical parts of the building to bring it up to fire and building codes. After bids were opened, state officials declared an "emergency procurement" and suggested 25 changes to the project. Three of the four contractors cut their estimates and Caddell of Montgomery, Ala., had the lowest bid. Moiganti refused to respond to the suggested changes and contends it should have been awarded the project. Its lawyer, W. Duvall Spruill, wrote the committee that the emergency declaration appeared to violate state law. uilt your a Vis perfe cross-cc advenK BW-j J I 4the IT Wi 940 HARDEN S Gooc okina for in f a chance to earn e; isic Educators, Inc. % nc. provides a service that mai| 2 Columbia area.This service will job teaching music.

He refused to comment after the meeting, except to say "legal action is always a possibility." S.C. lawmakers will have an extra $87 million to spend when they return in January, but those who voted Wednesday to delay the project said they would rather try to save the money. "The sly is just not the limit for the taxpayers of South Carolina," said Sen. Glenn MrPnrmall R.T'Vior!oafnn a (YimmittwunMTl. ber. Sen. Harvey Peeler, R-Gaffney, wondered how he would explain, to constituents, the project's bids came in above budget. *T just need something to take home to tell them folks why we missed it" Peeler told architect Robert Lyles. "If I tell them the architect missed it, they'll say, Well, surely that architect isn't there any more.'" Lyles said he couldn't explain exactly why the bids came in above budget until he could talk with the contractors. Morganti's challenge of the bid process at this point makes that impossible, he said. To save as much as $5 million, Peeler and the committee's two other Republicans wanted to scrap a proposed foundation that would help the Statehouse resist earthquakes. But that would have required new bids. The Statehouse already has closed for asbestos removal related to the renovations. The governor, lieutenant governor and General Assembly are working elsewhere during the project and for the next two years the Legislature will meet in a renovated hotel across from the Statehouse. dventure. ; panel access and large cessorv Docket, the Moiave ct for diking, scrambling, >untry skiing or any urban ire. l KFAGCEKI r.
