Columbia, February 16: The bill
to provide an appropriation to Com
federate pensions and to fix the
amount at $250,000 went to the free
conference. The senate had insisted
that the amount voted for artificial
limbs, $4,000, should como out OF the
general pension appropriation, which
would have practically reduced the
pension appropriation from $2h0,000
to $235,000. The free conference conn
mittee recommended that the senate
amendment be amended so as TO pro-
vide $4,000 for artificial limbs out Of
the $250,000 pension fund. This prac-
tically fixes the amount appropriated
for the pensions at $a4h.000. The
amount last year was over $29A,000,
The free conference committee on
this pension bill consisted of Senators
Mauldin, Brooks and Hardin, and
Representatives Rucker, DeHam and
Miley. Representative Rucker was
the author Of the original bill to fix
the pension appropriation at $a60,000.
