LEGISLATIVE WORK
BROUGHT TO A CLOSE
Session of Eight Weeks Terminated
Yesterday.
QUIT AT USUAL HOUR
Permanent Roads, Better Schools And
Public Health Receive
Much Aid.

The second session of the seventy
third general assembly of South Caro-
lima was concluded at 7;45 o'clock yes
troday morning and the majority Of
the members caught the early trains
for their respective homes. The
clocks in the two houses were stopped
at 1855 Saturday night.
The free conference report on the
Appropriation bill was received in the
two houses around 7 o'clock. The re-
port was adopted Immediately with
out discussion. BY 1880 the bill had
been ratified and signed by the COVER
nor. A few minltes thereafter final
adjournment was taken. Total appro-
priations amount to $6,091 ,241.39, for
which levy of IL 1-2 mills will be
required.
The general appropriation bill as
first passed by the house carried $5,-
800 900, which did not include 100000
1t had appropriated by statute for the
Citadel. An appropriation of $4,000
for heating plant for the State Hous
was also made in a resolution passed
by the house. A number of other
amounts thus favored by the house
were put in by the senate. When all
these had been added to the appropria-
tion bill in the senate and the senate's
own increases put in the total carried
by the bill was S6,731 900. The free
conference took off about $672,000 by
distributing the appropriations over
two years, providing for loans and by
reductions, thus bringing the bill to
approximately what it was when it
left the house.
While many of the legislators were
somewhat disappointed in the volume
Of constructive Legislation enacted,
and although many desirable measures
went into the discard, much was done
toward laying a solid basis for future
groth and development. This can
not be better emphasized than the re-
sponse to the universal desire through
out the state for good roads and the
generous manner in which county
delegations voted bond issues for their
countries. A statewide levy of two
mills was also put on for permanent
road building, the amount each county
raises to be spent in that particular
county. Bond issues for roads and
bridges in the different counties ap
proximatc $13, 100000.
The Manning times. [volume] (Manning, Clarendon County, S.C.) 1884-current, 1920-03-10

Permanent improvements at state
institutions are to go forward in keep
ing with the spirit Of progress. In
pruning down the appropriation bill
the free conference committee dis
tributed thc amounts for new build
ings oyer two years, instead of pro-
viding the full amount this year. In
some instances provision is made for
borrowing the necessary funds. This
latter provision applies to the Uni
versity of South Carolina, the trustees
being authorized to borrow $4,000 for
the erection of nine homes for profe:-
sors. An appropriation of 100000 is
carried by the bill for the new plant
for the Citadel, the 100000 appropri-
ated for this purpose being distribut-
ed through three annul instaliments.
The old plant is to be sold to repay
the amount appropriated.
Other constructive work was the
passage of statewide dog law, which
increases the tax from so cents to rs
cents and requires the dog to wear a
collar with the license tag attached.
This should mean much toward en-
couraging the sheep raising industry,
particularly in some of the coasted
,, counties where farmers attempting
this venture have been greatly handi-
capped because of the great number
of sheep killing dogs running at large.
This measure was pressed through by
Charleston, whose zeal was unflag-
ging to get such statue on the
books.
The resolution by Senator Christen-
sen for ajont committee from the
two houses to study the state tax
problems and needed legislation and
to report back next session with rec
commended measures was passed after
consideration debate in the house Sat-
urday. Expenses are the senate

resolutions:
"Whereas, it has been found neces-

needs Of the state under present con-
omic conditions, largely to increase

in addition thereto to levy a special

Whereas, these increases tend to
