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
