Senate Continues
On Its Wild
Spending Spree
Columbia, March 27.—State sena
tors tacked another $370,910 onto
a record genera! appropriations bill
in a confused session today. They
got through all the itemized appro
priations sections of the bill, but
it was conceded that this doesn’t
mean a thing if they want to
change their minds later.
Extra money voted for the Board
of Health and the Forestry commis
sion shot the appropriations-sales
tax measure up to an unofficial
$146,624,006.
At almost every turn, however,
one or more senators made it clear
that more amendments will be of
fered when the bill corns up for
third and final reading. Members
of the Finance committee, which
reoprted out a $146,396 bill hope
to see it get a second reading to
morrow or Thursday.
The board of health increase was
from $1,519,789 to $1,821,449. The
Forestry Commission appropriation
was kicked up $89,850 to $865,950
The only reduction came in the
State Research, Planning and De
velopment Board director’s salary.
Thu waa cut back to $10,060 from
$10 600

the vawn-out wrangling for which
