J-EVY OF 12 MILLS WILL BE REQUIRED General Aseembly Appropriates $6,100,000?Building Program Taken Care of. The State, 7th. The general appropriation bill for state purposes this year calls for approximately $0,100,000. A levy oi 12 mills will be required to raise this amount. The free conference committee from the two houses reached an agreement as to the amounts to be raised near midnight last night. Total reductions from the bill were about $600,000. In applying the pruning knife the committeemen spread the building program for some of the state institutions over two years. In other instances provision was made to borrow, if the amounts previously appropriated might be necessary. A portion of the sum for the State Hospital for the Insane is to be taken care of in this way. The appropriation of $200,000 for the Citadel is carried in the general appropriation bill. The general assembly appropriated $600,000 for this institution for a new plant. This is practically a loan, as the old plant - * * 11 ? n is to oe soxa ana vne pmccua icvutu d to the state. Last Year** Cost. While the amount appropriated may appear out of proportion, the report of the budget commission shows that the total expenditures for last year were $5,811,012.35, which is onlv $300,000 below this year's ?;?w ? - . ? figures. Both houses of fhe general assembly were in session at an early hour this morning. The free conference committee had not yet been able to make its report because of the im * ^^- -i i i ? mense volume 01 wont aiutcneu engrossing and checking up the bill. There is little likelihood that the report of the committee will meet with any opposition in the house, as retluctions bring the figures within close range of the amount the house appropriated, and Governor Cooper will not veto any portions of the measure. Adjournment sine die this morning was not regarded likely soon after midnight. The engrossing depart ment has much work ahead. The suggestion was made that adjournment until Monday be taken as soon as the free conference had made its report. The house, last night adopted the free conference report on the Baskin bill to abolish the state pension commission. . As the. bill becomes law it provides for the retention of chairman, D. W. McLaurin, this year and also allows the names of all veterans . removed last year to go back on the . -rolls. It also^.jyrovides that at the - epi^ .9* ^e year the entire pension ; .: busjnes$ will be cleared through the office of the comptroller general. SJio.uid -tne. cnairman resign, uecomc >incapacitated or die during the year, . the duties of . the office would devolve upon the comptroller general. Mr. McLaurin will be allowed $2,000 for the _ work. The rolls will.be made up by . . county authorities as was the custom until one year ago. ,, - ;.' Objection-to Report. The free conference report caused a sharp debate in the. house- The first free conference committee was unable to agree. The second tvas then" appointed and after a prolonged debate the report by the* second' committee was adopted by a vote of 53 to 12, 1 ^-C~4- r, rr ? o V, I'M <1^ AVIIL'ill \\ ..li -J H/S ? Ui V l t.?v ?ivrw. ?. . The opposition was lead by Itepraf seiltat'.vs Dramktt of Greenville. Knd the report been rejected, the act of last year wo.uli have remained in force and veterans removed would h^ve stayed off the rolls, it wias for the sake of these that the bill' was passed. The house also last night passed the* rpsnliition hv Senator Christensan of Beaufort, providing a commission of seven members of the two house to study the question of tax legislation and report back to the general assembly proposed legislation next session. Four of the members are to be from the house and three from the senate. The resolution was amended on motion of Mr. Dreher of Lexington to limit the expenses of the commission to $1,000. Automobile Bill Dies. The house last night killed the bill by Senator Johnson of Barnwell and Senator Pearce of Richland to give holders of a bona fide mortgage on automobiles priority in damage suits. Under the statute now obtaining a car may be confiscated by the person injured, although the car may be mortgageo. This bill created considerable debate both last night and Thursday night.
