Other Items in the Bill as Report

CHARLESTON. w Va, Feb. 10
After late and long session Of the
two finance committees The footings
were made and some sort of guess
can be hazardea as to the size OF the
hole that will mark the spot now oc.
enpied by the state treasury.
For the fiscal year ending Septem-
Der 30, 1901, the aggregate amount
already provided for is 81 1913, 600,
for the year ending September 80,
1902, the amount is 81, $4,000
Twenty three hundred and twenty
thousand dollars for the two years
is the amount already agreed on,
and there are some demands yet un-
satisfied
Among the items still lett ont is
the capitol annex, which will, of
course, come in for good sized bite.
The home for ineurables, at Hunt
ington. too, is said TO have a good
show for getting money to put up a
new building. All told, the bill
probably carries two and a half mil
lions. The most that anybody fig
ures out for the receipts that is any
body who knows anything about it,
is nineteen hundred thousand for
the two years. To meet this hall
million or so overdraft is the thing
that is keeping the fnanciers Of the
two houses awake Of nights.
Staring the Finance Committees
IN the face were several unfinished
buildings at State institutions and
deficiencies therefore which had
been contracted for at sums largely
IN excess of the appropriations pre-
yiously provided.
BETTER FINANCING EXPECTED.
The capitol annex, which was to
cost but 100000, is $4,000 in the
hole, SO to speak, and shat sum Is
demanded for its completion; at the
/ Colored Institute was deficit Of
SI1, 900; at the University three
buildings are incomplete, and were
contracted for at much larger sums
than the appropriations called for
Deficiencies were to be taken care
of in nearly every State institution,
and each one was demanding large
sums for new buildings and improve
ments.
West Virginia's State institutions
and Government have grown with
it's industrial development, but the
taxpayers have lodged the issue,
and new revenue laws are necessary
to save the State from bankruptcy
The capitol annex scheme was one
for the anchoring of the capitol here
The removal was agitated two years
ago. very strongly The citizens
here and the members of tie Legis-
lature in Southern West Virginia
got up the plan OF building an an
mex.
Appropriation for the first year,
amounting to i'll 100000 with several
hundred thousand more the second
year, may be reduced considerably

to be increased than reduced. Some
