Careful study was being given sugges-

1t is understood that the leases on

| improbable that definite report of the
joint finance committee will be forth

progress, but it will be several days,
and possibly longer. before the question
will be threshed out sufficiently to war
rant positive recommendations for ways
and means to avoid the threatened def
icit.
Because they have been unable to
agree upon plan to solve the problem
as to how to meet the deficit in the
State treasury the joint committee will
ask their respective houses tonight to
grant them further time in which to
make their report
It is also under that the joint
committee will visit the various tSate
DEPARTMENTS and ascertain just how the
expenses of the various departments
can be reduced without Interfering with
the proper conduct of their business.
According to general report, the COM
mittee is likely to make many or all of
the following recommendation:
To reduce all State salaries 10 per
cent, with a few exceptions where
larger cuts have been specifically pro-
posed or the author of the plan believes
there should be no change.
H8Cut for Fort,x SON

private secretary. from $4,000 to $1,000
or $1,000 year.
Combine the bureau of shell fisheries
and the several oyster commissions
under a single head.
Block the passage of any public
utilities or other laws calling for new
expenditures.
Create a central board of control and
purchase for State institutions.
Establish a bureau of printing and
stationery as part of the department
of the Secretary of State.
Reduce the number of members of
the state Board of Equalization of
Taxes from five to three and the sal
aries of the members from IS, 500 TO
$1,000. with the presidents salary cut
from $1,000 to $4,000 or $500.
To abolish the place of assistant clerk
OF the Board of Equalization of Taxes,
with a salary of $1,000 year.
Do away with the travelling State
library and cut the salary of the State
librarian from $4,000 to $1,000.
Would Combine Departments.

but not necessarily as suggested by
Governor Fort in his last general mes
sage.
Cut the salaries of the chancellor from
s11 900 to $4,000; vice-chancellors from
$4,000 to $4,000: Supreme Court justices
