APPROPRIATION BILL
REPORTED OUT
Reduction of More Than Million Dol
lars is Recommended-State Levy
Five Instead of Twelve Mills

means committee of the house report
ed out the general appropriation bill
tonight carrying total appropriation
of S5,671 ,684.67 or a total reduction
from the 1921 appropriation of ST.
O95,45O.65. The total state levy as
provided in the bill is five mills as
compared with IL mills in 1921.
This big reduction in millage is
made possible by the new revenue
measures already passed and those
that the legislature believe will be
passed. If the revenue measures are
not passed the levy VIII have to be
increased.
Indications are that the bill will
come up this week and be passed by
the house late in the week. When this
bill is sent to the senate the house will
have discharged practically all its
work and the rest of the work will be
upon the senate, which is already
overloaded with legislation.
In 1921 a total of S6,767, 1852
was appropriated for all state pur-
poses, this including an extra half mill
for the Citadel. Governor Cooper
recommended in the budget that S6,-
466,240.15 be appropriated, but the
ways and means committee sliced
this figure off considerably.
AS usual the biggest appropriation
this year is for the public schools,
this figure being $1,1s6,700 but this
is big drop from 1921 when the ap-
preparation was s1,528,930.
