SIGNS BILL FOR. FOR.
ACG|E COLLEGES
WITH CONDITION

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. with con-
ditions around his signature, Cover
nor Harris signed the appropriations
bill last night, and thereby allowed the
eleven agricultural and mechanical
colleges of the state to receive $15,-
coo, which means an increase of S..
coo over last year for each school.
The conditions state that if legal
ruling says that all features of the
bill must stand, then the bill is We,
iced.
In the total prepared by the COVER
nor the present bill is found to be
$o33, 424 larger than the previous gen
eral appropriations bill passed in 1913,
to which certain additions were later
made. The net increase over the orig
inal 1915 appropriation sheet is found
by him to be $416,167. If the unenum-
Grated provisions of the general bill
run to 100000, estimated by well in
formed persons, but not included by
the governor in his tabulation, is add
ed it will make the net increase in
the 1916 sheet over the net of the
original 1915 sheet more than half a
million dollars.
After the entire lot of special addi-
tional and deficiency bills and resolu-
tons for 1915 are added to the 1915
general appropriations bills, they
amounted to $2S, 1928, it yet leaves net
increase in the general appropriations
solely for 1916 of $1S2,23S more than
all the expenditures of all kinds for
1915.
After number of conferences dur
Jug yesterday and considerable fgur-
ing over the general appropriations bill
that also has been signed, as it was
passed, none of the items being We
toed.
Among the items which the gov
ernor discussed as under considera-
tion as to whether or not he would veto
them, were $4,000 put in for the agri-
cultural department, $4,000 for insur-
ance, which he says can be shaved
down by making new policies for one
year. instead of for FIVE, and an item
for $4,000 which he did not like.
1t is his estimate that it will take
from $75,OO0,O0O to $1,000, 10000 in
crease in values for the state next
year to cover the difference in the eX-
penses of 1915 and the general appro-
psiation bill for 1916.
In the matter of the deficiency and
special bills passed and made imme.
diately available in 1915, it is found
that the total of about 100000 will be
better met than at first thought In
making up the tax rate a margin of
$32 900 over was allowed, but in addi-
ton to this the Inheritance tax has
about doubled, and the railroad returns
are about $4,000 more than has been
calculated

a meeting with the national board
was arranged, but before c~onfering
with them Mr.. Works laid the whole
thing before Governor Hammond and
had his unqualified approval to re-
sist the proposed advance.
Underwriters. Give In.
The meeting took place at Chicago
last week. The underwriters were in
clined to rebel at first but on Motif
cation that he would invoke the aid
of the new rate regulation law to the
limit and would force substantial re-
auctions instead the officers capitul-
ated.
Under the new schedules fireproof
buildings all over the state are to be
reduced Is per cent. All other brick
buildings are to be reduced 15 per
cent in the southern division Of
counties, and 12h per cent in the
northern division.
Public buildings, both brick and
frame, r to be reduced Is per cent
in the southern division and 12h
per cent in the northern division.
Reduction on Dwellings.
A reduction of 20 per cent is to be
made in the annual rate on dwellings
and contents in all municipalities
having fire protection. The term rule,
however, is changed so that here
after the rate for three years will be
two and a half instead Of two times
the annual rate, and the rate for five
years will be four instead Of three
times the annual rate. With the 20
per cent reduction in the annual rate,
the three-year rate will remain the
same and the five-year rate will be
increased about 6 2-3 per cent. The
number Of dwellings insured on the
five-year plan, however, is neglible.
Unprotected dwellings, that it,
dwellings in villages having no fire
perfection, will be reduced 10 per
cent in annual rates. With the new
term rule, this will mean an increase
Of 12A per cent in the three-year
rates. The total value of dwellings
in unprotected villages, however, is
very small. To further aid insurers
in small villages, Commissioner
Works is preparing a bulletin show
ing how, by installing inexpensive
apparatus, they could obtain lower
rates. Unprotected villages at pres
ent take the class 6 rate, but by in
stalling apparatus costing about $500
they may be rated in class s.. He will
also point out, how those in class s
may, by improving their apparatus,
be placed in class 4, which takes a
proportionately lower rate.
