He deecribed them as a compromise for the 14-point program proposed by the cominktee earlier.

The senate finance committee met tonight to shape its new revenue raising proposals which Senator Brown of Barnwell, a committee mem ber, described to the senate as a “compromise” over the controversial issue of highway fund diversion and pooling all state funds. j The proposals, aimed at replacing; the committee’s original fourteen-j point program which stirred up; storms of protests, were unofficially | state’s general fund; authorize a $1,- revealed as including: 2.50,000 loan from highway funds tO| An extra cent tax on gasoline for' the state treasury’; impoe‘e a three-’th«* general fund and diversion of mill pro|>erty Ux; retire th*’ sUte $1,2.50.000 of highway money; re- defict* over a five-year p4‘rio$|, the ti-ntion <*f the three-mill pro|>erty saving fnm a lower disc<»unt of inx which has already lM*en remov«-.l ci *wn taxes «tn soft and hottlwl fn»m the constitution; tax incTea>e d-nnk* being ph’dged for the retire- of 32 cents a gallon on liquor; fund- ment. ing of the d»»ficit.
