The matter of the appropriations for
the session is practically settled. The
appropriations committee Of the senate
has made recommendation for all of the
Institutions and their recommendations
viii probably be passed by both houses
without material change. The separate
provision for the maintenance of the
educational institutions enabled the COM
naittee~to make liberal recommendations
for ali Of the institutions and represent
tatives from all sections that have instt-
tItions are feeling good The amounts
recommended will support the penal ana
charitable institutions in good shape and
enable them to make some needed i'm
provenents. The budget for the institu-
tons not provided for in the special tax
bill carries about S235, Gf0.

ttonment and apprcpFlat lions matters
have been disposed Of There has been
hard work done OF both measures ana
their final disposition will give the mem
bers breathing spell. None of the other
