Santa Fe, March 9.-BOth houses
are in deadlock over the five items
in the appropriation bill. The meas
ure was in conference the early part
of the afternoon and by o'clock the
conferees had come to an agreement,
each house yielding in its demands.
The senate passed the bill as re-
ported by the committee. The house
also approved the conference report
but added five amendments which
were offered from the floor by Mr..
Sanchez of Valencia county.
One of these cuts the building ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the normal
university to $4,000 a year The sec
ond reduces the building appropria-
tion of the University of New Mexico
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually,
The third inserts $4,000 a year for
building purposes at the Military In
stitute, the fourth increases the an
nual maintenance of the Spanish
American normal school from $500
to $l2, 900 and the fifth appropriates
$2,0S0 to cover the deficiency of the
San Diego exposition board,
Increases State college.
The conference amendments adopt
ed by both houses increased the State
COLLEGE maintenance from 100000 to
$4,000 a year and added $1,000 to
pay the interest on funds which had
been borrowed because of the Las
Cruces bank failure The Socorro

creased from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year. The university gets $4,000 a
year for maintenance, the Spanish.
American normal had its maintenance
increased from $4,000 to $500 and
$1,000 was given each of the armories
at Albuquerque Las Cruces and Sill
yer City for repairs. The Silver City
normal school was given $4,000 for
the completion of its science building,
and the Military Institute mainte-
nance was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year.
For printing the law and journals
$4S,000 was appropriated by the con-
ference, and Bias Sanchez was given

Eliminate LarrazOlo From Bill.
Senate substitute for Fl. B. 26i was
recalled from the governors office.
Word had been passed that Governor
Lindsey would veto the bill unless it
was materially amended. The house
took its medicine gravely and
amended the bill so as to meet the
objection. The principal change is

and the taking of the state auditor
from the proposed boundary commits
sion The bill still carries $4,000. 1t
