Increase Of $4,000 in Appro-
priation Bill.

The appropriation bill, as reported
by the House committee, after care
full study and thought, carries appro-
priations aggregating SLIT, ,352.S4, or
an increase of S144 coo over the Act of
1909. AS matter of fact, the ordina-
ry items do not show any increase.
The s144 1000 is more than made up by
extraordinary items-S70,oO0 addition
al for improvements and maintenance
at the State Hospital for the Insane;
s35, 900 for new sleeping rooms at the
Citadel; $4,000 for part payment on
the new building for the State COL
ored College, necessitated by a recent
fire, and the ordinary expenses of BIZ
ennial elections. The expectation is
that the bill will be adopted as report
ed by the committee. The committee
has had requests for very many thous-
ands of dollars more than reported,
and the bill, as re ported, is the very
best judgment of the committee, after
the most mature consideration.
In connection with the appropria-
ton bill, it is likely that the commit
tee will suggest that the normal in
crease in values for assessing proper
ty will raise the $4,000 additional,
or it may be thought best. in order to
be on the safe side, to increase the
levy from a quarter to half mill.
