Mills-Hew to be Spent.
The State, 18th.
The free conference report on the
appropriation bill was adopted with
out dissent yesterday noon. The Dill
carries total amount OF $S,37o,625.s6
to be raised by a levy of nine and one
half mills.
The biggest fight in the free con-
ference committee rooms w2s that
over the law enforcement fund. The
house refused to ut anything in the
bill for this purpose. The senate in
serted an item of $4,000. The house
finally yielded to the senate in pro
viding $4,000. plus the unused por-
ton of last years appropriation for
this purpose, amounting 10 approXi-
mately $4,000. The condition on
which the house yielded was that
State constables desist from search
ing baggage unless the owner has
been previously convicted Of selling
whiskey, or unless armed with war
rant for the person or the baggage, or
unless the constable is certain OF
LIQUOR being in the baggage.
The Council of Defense item was
another disturbing portion OF the
measure. The house appropriated
s25 900. This was increased by the
upper house to $4,000. The compro-
mise effected was that $4,000 be
appropriated and the governor en-
powered to borrow $4,000 more,
should that amount be necessary.
Another big change made in the ap-
preparation bill by the senate was TO
increase the amount for needy schools
from $4,000 to 100000. This was ac-
cepted by the free conference com
mittee from the house, but the o,00a
appropriated by the senate for voca-
t,onal training was deleted- RecaplIu-
