ey question. '? *? tfef* t\ >i
Consideration of the re^
deferred until today. A jU
rule that such reports law
desk 24 hours before rec?
tention prevailed in both hJ
senate.
This rule is seldom invoked in the
senate, but it was clamped -jon when
Senator S. M. Ward, finance com
mittee chairman, called attention to
the report, and Senator N*hce, W.
other conferee, moved it be tak
What threatened to be sharps

The supply bill repox*t was

drive to reach sine die
before the weekend. \\i

the senate and

nough -revenue to provide it, thai
teacher raise ia estimated to cost ap
proximately $400,000. 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.'
Tho free conference report includ
ed $45,000 for the board of bank con
trol. The same figure has been vot
ed by the senate but the house had
made no allowance for tho board.
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.
No provision was included in tho
report for extending the state aid
school term, a step agitated in the
sonato to ease the property tax bur- 1
