ALBANxj March 28.-The charges made
that the economies practised by Majority
Leader Moreland of the Assembly In pre-
pairing the annual appropriation bill would
render it necessary to. add additional
amounts TO the bill before 1t could be passed
prove TO have been without foundation.
Tonight the Senate Finance Committee,
which has been considering the bill since it
passed the Assembly, reported the bill to
the Senate with a further reduction OF
SIS, 600. The reductions mean that the
State officers will not generally get In
creases in salaries in lieu of expenses, as
has been the case, and that economy will
have to be observed in many Of the offices
where there have been extravagances.
While some thousands Of dollars m appro-
priations were added by the Senate Finance
Committee, 1t cut out enough appro-
priations as passed by the Assembly to
accomplish the net reduction stated.
The committee made q number Of changes
IN the bill. One Of the items that the COM
mittee reinserted in the bill, which q
been stricken out by the Assembly Ways
and Means Committee, WAS an a%ppropria-
ton Of SIS, 500 for the State Inspector OF
Gas Meters. This is for the department.
