HARRISBURG, Pa. May 12.-Gby-
ernor Pennypacler finds 1t necessary
to cut the Legislative appropriations
for State institutions much more
heavily than had been anticipated.
He must lop off from ss,0O00OO to
s10,000,000. and probably not one in.
stitutlon in the State will receive an
appropriation in excess Of the sum
it5receiyed two years ago. ~
The estimated revenue for the
next two years is s42,ooO,oeQ. Out
of this there will be returned< 70 the
counties s5,00o,O00 In personal prop.
erty tax. There will also come out
Of this 100000 in fines and for.
eign insurance premiums. The bal.
ance Of the s4,0o0,0oO appropriation
for the new capitol also will be paid
out of this sum. Deducting these
sums the revenues will not exceed
100000, and it is thought this
figure is too high. The general appro
priation bill carries appropriations
aggregating s1S,0O0,0OO, Of which 81,
, 100000 goes to the public schools and
more than s3,o0O,0OO will be necessar;
