GENEltAL ASSEMBLY CONVENED YESTERDAI (Continued from Page One.) acceptable to the insurance comhpanie: is not definitely known, but it is un derstood that. certain changes on thi verbage of the instrument will bi necessitated. The commission ha been called by the governor to moe Monday, and it is believed that a co. p1 omise measure, agreeable to i11 'oll1anies and fully protecting tit rights of the state, will be drawn th be presented to the general asseibly I In adiition, the conmmittee has com,. pleted a building code for tie incor porated municipalities of the state an( 1a bill providing for inquiry into th( origin of fires. Cloth of these Ieas i ires will be introduced in the legisla. ture during the first days of the ses sion. According to the estimate of Comp troller-General Sawyer, released foi publication Sunday morning, the va rious institutions and departments of the government are asking for ap propriations n'nounting to $3,159. 691.57, while the estimated revenue of the state for 1917 will be $2,334,756.SS. Mr. Sawyer states that it will take a levy of 10 'mills to meet the amounts asked for 1917. Mlr. Sawyer states that the general assembly appropriated $2,596,169.08, whereas the revenue for 1916 will amount to only $2,J01,281.30, creat ing a delicit of practically $295,000, or a levy of one mill. The levy provided by the legislature for 1916 was 6 1-2 mills. The condition of the finances of the .tate is expected to be the cause of drastic legislation alfecting the taxa tion system of South Carolina. What attempts will he made to amend the existing law is not known at tll[ tule, but it is considered a safe het that some scllh legislation will be at tempted. The investigators of the state board of charities and corre' 'ions into the conditions of penal and char itable institutions of the state may re suit ill legislation to alleviate the hard lot of the poor, the leeble-ininded and 'the ilmbet cles. It is thought, that bills niaking lighter tie burdens of tilese classes of unfortanate ; will be in tro duced. A bill ptroviding for rural credits twill be introdnced as will one ror workingmen's compensat ion. in view of the recent strikes in textile com ...t.... i '.t.. anli;kely that other labor legislation will be attempted. .\s the boll weevil is expected to cro.<s the Savatnah river into South Carolina next year, it is probable (lint somei renedial legislation, assisting the farme(r to prepare for the advent of lile pest, will be ill for early pas sage.
