ASK LEGISLATURE
FOR SIX MILLION
State Examiners Prepare Budget
For 1927-28-General Fund
To Bear the Load

HEDENA-When the 1927 legisla-
ture convenes January it will face
the problem of making appropria-
tions totaling more than $4,000, 900,
If recommendations of the state
board of examiners are followed.
For the two-year period, ending
June 80, 1929, the board approves ex-
penditures totalling $6,656,627. To
this amount the legislature must add
whatever it needs for its own opera
ton which, last session, cost about
$4,000.
The amounts recommended by the
board represent a cut Of $1,927 1926
from the requests of officials, depart
ments and institutions. The total al
lows expenditures of $6,453,605 fol
operation, $93,877 for capital expen-
ses and $130,14 for repairs.
The general fund, of course, bears
the load. From this source come:
S4,876,627 which represents the
amount the state board thinks the
state at large must contribute for the
known needs Of state government
maintenance.
Income from fees, federal aid, an,
other sources Of departmental an,
Institutional revenues make up an ad
ditional $1,800,000, which complete
the total recommended.

A. P. SERVICE
CROWS WITH
FLORIDA BOOM

MIAMI, Fla. March 22.-Coln-
cidont with the growth of Florida
has been the natural expansion Of
its newspapers ana TIC Associated
Press service. In point Of Associat-
ed Press membership, Florida now
ranks fifth among the States, being
surpassed in the South only by
Texas
Fifty-two daily newspapers in
Florida receive the service of The
Associated Press, and SO rapid has
been the rise of daily journals over
the State that a number of other
newspapers are petitioning for
membership.
Ten years ago there were only
four leased wire Associated Press
newspapers in this State. Today
there are thirty-fiye, an increase
of almost 500 per cent.
Beyond the confines Of the South,
the Florida membership is exceed
ed in size by The Associated Press
newspapers of New York, California
and Pennsylvania. If present
growth in Florida can be taken as
a criterion, it is probable that the
membership figures six months
hence will show the Peninsula
State challenging these States for
a position nearer the top of the
column.
Applications for membership in
this State have been reaching the
New York and Atlanta Offices of
The Associated Press in such vol
ume during the past year that in
some instances the traffic depart
ment has been forced to devote con-
siderable overtime arranging for an
