INCREASE IN STATE SCHOOL
 Am rO rnWOS


 Failure of the legislature just ad- journed, to incorporate in the budget an additional appropriation of $23s,000 nullified the increases in state aid to towns authorized by amending the sup port of schools grant. it was discovered yesterday. All that was allowed was S715, 900 to cover the allowances pro- vided for in the existing act and it had been estimated by the state board of ed- ucation that $s53,00o would be required to meet the requirements o fthe amended act.
 The situation is almost exactly sim liar to that following the session two years ago when it was discovereu after adjournment that. although $3 aver age attendance grant had been adopted by both house and signed by the gov ernor, a necessary appropriation of $1.- 145,0 had not been provided. which commission nullified the act until the risingrising of the 1921 legislature at least.
 The support of schools grant bill fol- lowed almost recisely the same course in this session as was taken by the average |, attendance grant bill in 1919. As orig inally introduced, 1t called for increasing and extensions that were estimated by the sponsors, officers of the Connecticut Teachers association, to cost the state $SO9 ,90472 additional during the next two years, or a grand total of about ST., | 00,00o The extension of this form of state aid to towns and cities having grand lists over S2,500,000. for which no such provision is made in the ex- l isting law. was responsible for S762,- | 700.S5 of the increase"
 In view of the conditions of the states | finances the committee on education mod 1 flied the bil, taking out the provision 1 for extending the state aid to additional towns, except few having grand lists under 8, ,500,000, but increasing the per. ] centage available to towns that were l eligible which required an appropria tior i of $952,O00, or an increase of about | $2SS,000.
 The bill was further referred totht appropriations committee, which haC l already reported favorably on a bill to make good the average attendanct grant passed two years ago and an other calling for S1,272.000 for the av craze attendance grant for the com. l ing tv.o years. The appropriations l committee therefore reported unfavor. | ably on the support of schools grant i amendment, but the house overturned | the adverse report and passed the bill the senrte concurring.
 This is exactly what happened tw, years ago on the average attendanc' grant but. as was the case then thost who forced the bill through failed tt realize that the appropriations com mittee having reported against it, ha not provided for it in the budget The, did not follow up their victory, ant examination of the budget disclose that the original appropriation of $715, | inf dad fO ha not n not been changed.
 The present support of schools gram which apparently must stand, is mad
