FREMEN'S RELIEF
BILL Is VETOED
Governor Glad to Sign 1t If 1t
3 Comes in Proper Form.
He Says

Governor Brumbaugh to-day an
nounced his veto of the Sproul SEN
ate bill providing that the entire pro-
ceeds of the stat tax on premiums of
foreign fire insurance companies
shall be paid to fremen's relief or
ganizations in various municipalities.
The Governor in the course of a
lengthy message says that the Legis-
lature has failed to provide for reve-
nue. to take the place of income
which it is proposed to pay to the
municipalities for the tiremen.
Under the present law half of the
proceeds of the $4,000 tax goes to
the organizations, the balance being
paid to the State Fire Insurance
Fund. The Governor says that the
creation of the Fire Insurance fund
was an important economic measure
for the state government and that
the tax is a vital item in the crea-
ton of the fund which it is expected
will amount to a million dollars in
a few years. cit would be the
height of folly to compel the state
to carry it's insurance and at the
same time remove from it's treasury
the fund dedicated to this service"
says the Governor. This bill is q
direct attack upon the State lnsur-
ance Fund. Due notice of this fact
was conveyed to the responsible rep
resentatives in the Assembly and
they were urged, in case they wish
ed to dedicate all this income
to make other fiscal provision to car
ry out the laws mandate in the mat
ter of the insurance OF its own prop
erty from the fund. Such provision
was not made.
The Governor says that the re-
sponsibility for the situation does not
rest upon him and that the president
of the state firemen admitted at the
hearing yesterday that the fund must
be conserved. He says that the fire.
men have q right to compensation
for injuries received on duty The
Governor closes by voicing his re-
gret at being compelled to veto the
BILL but offers to sign measure
which will provide for the appropri-
alton of more relief money and at
the same time preserve the States
Fire Insurance Fund.
