INSTITUTIONS

Deficiency appropriations aggregat-
ing 100000 were fayorably reported
Tuesday afternoon by the appropria-
tons committee OF the house on the
recommendation of a subcommittee
which carefully went over the entire
list of appropriation bills introduced
and referred to the committee, and
which selected these on the ground
of absolute necessity, though it is a
fact that even these cannot be paid
unless something is done to increase
the states revenue.
A list of the appropriations recon-
mended by the subcommittee and IA
vorably reported by the whole COM
mittee is as follows:
Additional maintenance for insane
asylum, 100000; additional mainte-
nance for Georgia School of Technol-
ogy, $125,0O0; additional maintenance
for University of Georgia, $4,000;
repairs and insurance for University
Of Georgia, $29, 500; additional MAIN
tenance for State College of Agricul-
ture, $25, 900: waterworks system for
the same, $4,000; additional mainte-
nance for State Normal college, $780,
900; repairs and maintenance for the
same, $25, 900; additional maintenance
for Georgia School for the Deaf, $15,-
900; Bowden college, $4,000; Georgia
Normal and Industrial college, $780,
600; North Georgia Agricultural col
lege, $4,000; Georgia Training School
for Boys, $4,000; Georgia Training

trict agricultural schools, $4,000
each; tuberculosis sanitarium, $780,

groes, $4,000.
In addition to these appropriations
the committee reported favorably the
following special bills:
For the department of entomology
to fight diseases in sugar cane, $780,
900; for the erection of statues to Dr.
Crawford w. Long and Alexander H.
Stephens in the haul of fame. in
Washington, 100000; to pay bonus

In the service of the state, $4,000; to
pal the expenses of the budget COM
mission, $4,000; to increase the sal
airy of the state entomologist, A. C.
Lewis, from $4,000 to $4,000.
Appropriation bills aggregating
$2,70O.0e0 have been introduced in the
house and referred to the appropria-
-tions committee during the present
session. The committee referred
them to a subcommittee. The sub
committee classified them under three
heads-necessary, advisable but i'm
possible, inadvisable. Under the
first head it put the above list aggre-
eating 100000 and recommended
them, and the committee reported
them favorably.
Although the subcommittee recon-
mended the bills classified as neces-
sary, at the same time it acl1nowl-
edged that they could not be paid
without increased revenue and it
urgently recommended a special re-
port by the appropriations committee
emphasizing the Importance of pass
ing the income tax bill, constitu-
tional amendment, at the present
session, so that the state may COM
mence in 1921 to collect the new rev.
enue it will produce.
The appropriations committee,
however, did not pass a resolution
carrying out this recommendation,
though every member of the commit
tee will very likely support the in
come tax bill when it comes before
the house. 1t was up for passage
on Tuesday and was deferred until
Wednesday,
