News Times Special Service
LANSING. Mich, Feb. 2S.-The
% state institutions are asking the
legislature for approximately S10,-
100000. Mess the ways and means
finance and appropriations commit
tee OF the senate do some pairing. the
state tax for the next two years will
exceed that of the last two years.
when il reached the staggering total
Of 100000.
Many of the institutional requests
are swollen by sums asked for spe-
cial purposes. on the other hand
the sums awarded TO the Michigan
Agricultural college and the univer-
si:y Of Michigan under the mill tax
laws, are not included in the amount.
The former will receive about $780,
600 under this law. the exact amount
not being known until the valuation
of the state is completed. The Ann
Arbor institution will receive ap-
proximstely 100000 under this
provision.
Need Further Sums.
In addition 10 the sums asked by
the various institutions, the legisla
ture must provide for the moneys
appropriated by past legislatures
under statutes that still are in force.
Two years ago the legislature was
compelled to appropriate S2.71O,O0O
to meet such sums.
The 1915 legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the state highway de-
partment, 100000 being to make up
a deficit caused by the collapse of
the 1913 horse power act. The pres
ent body will not be forced 10 appro-
pirate for the department. except for
a few special purposes, as automo-
bile licenses are bringing in enough
money TO operate it. Despite the
elimination of this large item, the
present legislature doubtless will ap-
propriate more than the 1915 body.
