No increase in appropriations by the state for the various institutions, de partmlents, boards, and commissions, will be recommended by Governor cooper to the legislature next year, according to The State, of yesterday, but oi the other hand some decreases are likely to 'be favored by the chief executive. iearings before the budget com mission are scheduled to begin today and wjh i idli boards, commissions, delartm.nts and institutions will be heard as to what they need no ex tended sessions are expected by the governor. These hearings aril ex Ilected to be gone through within a few weeks as the governor will not consider anly expanisions of work at all, It ls Indicated. It Is through the budget report -to the legislature that the chief ilagistrate recommniends what he thinks should be appriopriated. Closer Attention The legislature of course doesitiV have to take the goverlnor's rceoht nand as a matter of fact the -g(7eral assemnbly last year did not follow the Chief magistrate'8 sug gestions .in e7OJY Patitcular. It ja probable that closNr' Uttention will 14 paid at the coming sessiou, however, as the governor clearly Indicated yes terday that he was going to recoin mend reduced appropriations rather tian increases. No curtailing of the necessary work an(d no retrenmchet along liles that the state must go forward in is to be favored by the governor, it. is believed, it at the same time he does not in tend to recommenld higher apypropria tions under the -present condidtion of tihe .people. "This Is no time for ex pansion," the chief executive said yes terday. To Ask For More A majority of the istitutions, boards and commissions as well as some of the departments will as usual ask for larger appropriations, according to those in a 'position to know, and 'the legislature as usual most likely will refuse any increases. This year a total of $6,554,925.82 was appr priated and unless some .great change comes0 over' the slate .beforo now and tile convening of the leg'is laturne, It' Is a sate -bet 'that thle ap) prlopriationl bill for 1922 swill rall he lowv that flgure. After hearing all tile dieiartments, ihoards, commissions, .Inl stitutions, etc., the governlor last ses sion recommended to tile legislature that a total of $7,111 ,688.86 .be appro priated.. The governor w:iil in all prob01 ability hecar most of the requests alone as It is ulnder'stood that E. T. H-ughes, chairman of tile ways and means c!ommilittee of the hmose, 'will be unablc to alttend~ ~ind Senator Ohristensen, chlairmnan of the finance committee of tile senate, will only ,be hlere par't of the time. Last year' tile total taxable pipcrty was a !ittle over $l448O,0000 and the levy for 1921 was placed at 12 m'illis, inclding tihe one-half mill for the Citadel. A small incr'ease may result In tihe total taxable property this year, but this 'will nlet be very much, if any.
