as Gov. TrinkIe Gets
Auditors Figures.
SPECIAL Dispatch to The Star.


RICHMOND, Va, November 12-
Gov. Trinkle submitted to the state
budget commission the estimates fur
nished him by the auditor of public
accounts, who places the deficit in
the state treasury at $1,700.00o. He
insisted that the figures are correct
and that there will not be a short
age in public funds of $4,000 900, as
some have declared.
In spite of the known fact that
there is a shortage in public money,
the demands made are sufficient to
make the deficit ten times that al
ready existing, and Harris Hart, su-
perintendent of public instruction,
suggested that the tax rate be in
creased ] cent on all classes of prop
erty In order to give his department
Sl.3oO.000 for the next two years
The members of the commission are
opposed to cutting the school appro-
priatlon, but the idea of raising the
rate for the schools or for any other
purpose does not set we'll.
Fish Commissioner Lee asked that
MS appropriation be cut $2,500, say
ing he would have $4,000 a year for
his department and that not a cent
of this will come from the state
treasury.
Superintendent Herbert of the SOL
diers' home has asked for an increase
for that institution, which has at this
time about 200 men, the number
growing smaller each year. At one
time there were about 800 men In
the home, but the applications are
fewer and fewer each year. The
death rate at the home is large, with
the average age of the inmates more
than eighty years.
