Iwiixiam; LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS. i A Threatened Seven Mill Tax Levy Reduced to Six Mills. * Special to The Kecora. Columbia, February 24:?The L Senate Finance committee cut the general appropriation bill $325,000 ft from the size as passed by the House and,in behalf of the section considerft ed at the morning session, the Senate B stood by its Finance committee. It $? would have taken ? seven mill levy B to raise the funds according to the j hill as it went through the House; |1 ? but this was reduced to a six mill levy by the action of the Senate IK qpimittee. ^ Appropriations for new buildings at all of the State colleges were cut out of the bill: the $10,000 for the mananoar "?omn WPflt OUt. Will Vict tliOUV UTV< -v..?r and the item of $26,000 for a tuberculosis hospital was trimmed. Chairman P L Hardin and Senators Allan Johnstone ar-d Christensen, of k the Finance committee, are piloting the bill through the Senate. It will I have to go to a committee of free conference between the two Houses I and then senv down to Governor L Blease. It is hoped that the General Assembly can finish and adjourn by the end of this reek. No vote has yet been taken on the two cent mileage bidl and it is not probable that one will be. Its op> ponents have succeeded in prevent1 ing it from coming to a vote so far. p. Neither has the Fortner bill to ? prevent white people from teaching > in negro schools ccme up. There ie small chance of its getting to a vote at this session and the same is true of the Saunders bill, driving houses . of ill fame out of t he State. * Representative Kirk's resolution \ requesting the Federal Government '/ to name some of the forts and other i prominent spots on the Panama canal in honor of Southern generals and notables and not give all of them the names of Northern dignitaries, has been passed by both branches of the General Assembly.
