Cronin described the sources of infor-
nation which had been drawn upon in
the preparation of that bill. The bill
was a composite of the best features
of the New York and California laws
and did not differ essentially from the
law of Massachusetts for the last
thirty years.
The General Appropriation Bill
/ The house yesterday finished un-
doing all that the committee of the
whole of that body had accomplished
in the last two weeks in the way of
swelling the proportions of the general
appropriation bill. The house finished
its reading of the bill and adopted
| practically all of the amendments to
the amendments of the committee Of
the whole, reducing the aggregate of
| the bill to something like the figures
originally proposed by the appropria-
ton committee. The house having got
started went even further and exceeded
the recommendations of the appropria-
| tons committee. 1t not only Topped off
the extra sums that had been given
the university and the two normal
schools, but struck out all of the APP
hpropriatjDn for the state fair except
$4,000. The original bill had proposed
| $50. 600. That had been increased in
some unaccountable way to $140,0
| II Is not likely that the house is yet
through with this item. 1t was stated
last night that proper care would be
taken of the fair
The state school fund section and
the good roads section, the latter car
Trying 100000 for the two years, We're
stricken out but that is not regarded as
reducing the appropriations for these
Items will be taken care of in another
| way. The Golfer Wiltbank bill will
provide for the roads and Ny. Lines
house bill 26. takes care of the schools.
That bill in fact, was forced through
signed and sent TO the senate in the
sourse of the day. 1t proposes a sum
which in addition to all other funds
that go to the schools shall be suffi-
Gent TO create fund of $35 per capita
based on average daily attendance.
An attempt was made to send tn,
general appropriation bill to the en-.
rolling and engrossng committee. bu
a majority of the members hesitated [,
let go of ii; they had been ASSOCIATED
| with il so long that they had formed
sort of affection for It. They felt, toe
that 1t was not yet ready to face a col
and unfeeling world and a senate tina
was waiting for it with fiendis
