Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-07-12

Denominations of various de-
partments of the State government
affected by legislation signed or
pending will not be taken up by
the Governor until after he has
disposed of the general appropria-
tion bill and various other meas
ures in his hands. Even then they
will likely be made gradually. The
two departments where changes are
being watched with interest are
Agriculture and Labor and Indus
try, numerous changes being plan
ned in the personnel, including
scme Dauphin countians.
The Governor will take up the
general appropriation bill, which
supplies funds for the whole State
government, Immediately upon his
return to Harrisburg and it will be
disposed of during the coming week.
This will be good news for the Can
itol attaches, as July 15 is the next
pay day and the experiences of years
gone by when they had to wait
weeks for pay because the big bill
was not completed are we'll re-
called.
AS a result of the Attorney Cen
erals decision, there will be only
two constitutional amendments to
be voted on at the election in 1920.
They are relative to the debt limit
of Philadelphia and the removal of
limitations on banking legislation.
The graded tax bill fell and the So
called specific appropriation amend
ment was dropped in the Legisla-
ture.
Three hundred and sixty bills
of general character have been ap-
proved by Governor William c.
Sproul thus far and in addition
forty-.one rated as appropriation
bills have been signed. There are
approximately 500 bills in the
hands of the Governor. about 400
OF which are appropriation meas
ures.
Forty-nine bills ha been vetoed
The Governor will probably dis
pose OF all of the bills well within
the limit which expires on July 20
and many will be acted upon dur
ing the coming week as information
asked regarding them has been pre-
pared for him.
Efforts are being made to have
the copies of the laws printed a.
rapidly as possible after approval
and there is tremendous demand
for such measures as the compen.
sation, teachers salary, mothers
pension, Philadelphia charter and
similar measures.
Notices are being sent that nc
constitutional amendments are TO be-
voted upon this year. This Us IN
accord with the ruling OF the Attor,
ney Generals Department.
