This amount would raise the free conference r?? commendations to ground $6,953,704. Neville Bennett, chairman of the house wuys and mear.s committee and one of the conferees, said ap-| parently there would be sufficient money to give the teacher* ralary in crease. Bennett said the free con Terence report, excluding the teacher raise, was about $500,000 less thar estimated revenue for the next fiscal year. "Wo mado tho teacher salary in crease contingent upon their being enough revenue," he said, " to guar antee absolutely a balanced budget We did not want to take any chance on the possibility of overestimates of revenue.'

The Girls' reformatory, located near Columbia, also was included with a $15,000 appropriation. No appropriation had been made for tho reformatory by the house, which had about decided to abolish it, while the senate had allowed $10,450 for it. In arriving at sums for tho insti tutions of higher learning, tha con- 1 ferees iij most instances approximate ly split tho difference between senate and house figures. Thoy alolwed $168,450 for tho University, $121,175 ror The Citadel, $85,000 for the Med ical college. A $7,766 appropriation tho senate had made for the upkeep of tho State | Mouse and grounds was consolidated with the allowance for tho state elec trician and engineer, bringing the lat ter to $17,742. They accepted the senate figure of $121,614 for the railroad commission, an increase of nearly $40,000 over the house. The Increase was largely to provide for continuation of the com mission's power rato investigation. A large part of a $54,000 Increase tho senate voted for the board of was knocked out and the board's al- 1 lowanco left $100,076.
