What the peace-makers do not seem to real

APPROPRIATION
BILL INCREASE
Amounts of $685. 1886, an
Increase of S3,778.2e Over
The Past Year

TRENTON, April s.-The appro-
priation bin for the 1919 session OF
the Legislature carries s13, 5ss, 3s6.64
while the annual bill in 1918 carried
$9,7S5 .945.57, thus showing an in
crease in this years bill over that OF
last years of ss,77s, 291.97. This ID
accounted for by increased extraordin-
airy appropriations over those of 1918
together with appropriations of ST.
$4,000 for new buildings not provided
for in last years act. The new con-
struction work provided for in the
present bill is s2,s24,o 900 of which s1,-
735,000 is for construction OF new
buildings for various state institutions.
In arriving at the items included in
the measure, the appropriation COM
mittee considered recommendations
made in the budget message of the
Governor, and when changes seemed
necessary. they were taken MP in tire
order of their importance which was,
first, fuffIlment of obligations of the
State as required by Inv; second, ade-
quate provision for the departments
and institutions of the Stzte, and
third, provision for all possible inn
-provements n expansions warrant
ed by funds available.
The committee distributed new
buildings as nearly as possible to the
four general sections of the State,
which provide for construction work
at Morris Plains. Clinton, Trenton and
Glassboro. The new buildings to BE
constructed are regarded by the COM
mittee to be necessary to meet ur-
gent demands for expansion of the
States policy for Institutions. To slim
ulate activities at the State Agricul-
tural College and Experiment Station
at New Brunswick and ~appropria-
ton was made for the erection of a
horticultural building there while
$4,000 was appropriated for use in
connection with the development of
the State Woman's College at New
Brunswick.
The committee did not make n
appropriation for the proposed New
Jersey ship ana on the ground that
the chance of the federal government
making the necessary appropriation
for digging the canal was too remote
to warrant laying aside $500. 300 for
purchase of a right of way from a
balance which should remain in the
treasury"
Among the sums appropriated for
new buildings are:
horticultural building at New
Brunswick, SIS, 1000; converting cot
tages into Industrial building at
State Home for Boys at Jarnesburg,
900; materials for new kitchen and
dining room at State Home for Boys
at Jamesburg. $16 1000.
Among the increased extraordinary
expenses amounting to SS,995,036.22 in
the new bill are:
Agricultural College at New Bruins
wick, $685. 900; agricultural expert
station at New Brunswick, &c.
500; State Home for Boys at James
burg, $4,000. |
