COLUMBIA, Nov. 23.—Introduc tion of the annual appropriation bill on the first day of the session was foreseen Thursday by Rep-1 Chesterfield __24,121 resentative Neville Bennett, ways 1 Clarendon —13,204 and means committee chairman, J Colleton 6,683 as a move to eliminate finances i Darlington 18,435 from the list of factors that may prolong the general assembly of 1936. The Marlboro county represen tative said he planned to call the ways and means committee to meet early in January to prepare an “economic” appropriation bill for presentation when the legis lature meets January 14. He said the 1935-36 appropri ation act authorized the prelimi nary meeting “to save money by preparing the appropriation meas ure in advance and thus shorten the session.” The State Budget commission, confronted by requests for ap proximately $2,000,000 in increas- ?s over the current money meas ure of $7,500,000, was expected to meet later this month to draft a report for the legislature.

Taylor, of the third district, last night returned to his office here Tollpwing a tour of the district for the purpose of confer ring with constituents and allow ing them to bring any matters of interest to his attention. Mr. Tay lor was accompanied on the tour by his secretary, Z. W. Meeks. The trip included visits to each of the county seats in the district as well as many of the larger towns. A temporary office was set up in each place, and Mr, Taylor had conferences with several thousand persons throughout the area. Scores of suggestions and requests were received, and will be ; cleared through the office here within the next few weeks. The congressman also visited sev eral of the CCC camps located in Pickens and Oconee counties. The trip was planned by Mr. Taylor for the convenience of con stituents who live in the more dis tant parts of the'district, but who might have requests or matters of interest to discuss with him. A large crowd was present in virtually every town in which a temporary office was established. Generally speaking the congress man found better conditions exist ing over the area. Many farmers, however, conferred with him as to the desirability of altering the Bankhead law, and in some areas it was found that the employment situation is still a major problem. Temporary offices, were set up in the following towns in the district: Newberry, Saluda, Johnston, Edge- field, McCormick, Abbeville, Green wood, Walhalla, Central, Pickens, Easley, Liberty, Westminster, Sen eca, and others.
