IMPORTANT BILLS WILL COME
FIRST IN STATE LEGISLATURE
ASSEMBLED MONDAY WITH 63S
BILLS ON THE CALENDAR
Appropriation Measures, School Build
ing Program, Tax Amendments are
Waiting to Finally Be Acted Upon

Waiting to Finally Be Acted Upon
With 633 bills, including about so
skeletons, the Legislature assembled
Monday to give serious consideration
to the bills on the calendar which pro-
pose constructive legislation. There
are probably 400 of these still on the
calendars which have not yet been
acted upon by one branch or the other
Many of the skeleton bills which were
introduced in the last rush hours for
the introduction of new business on
Friday, containing nothing but the
title and enacting clause, may or may
not be filled in later. It is the pur-
pose of the leaders of the two houses
to give consideration to the more i'm
portant bills on the calendar first
with the hope of getting rid of them
as early as possible to avoid the nee
essity of extending the session until
later in April. After this the school
building program bill, carrying an APP
preparation of S2,OOO,0OO, to be sup
plemented by bond issues of various
school districts throughout the State
needing new or additional school IA
cilities, will be taken up. 1t is under
stood number of amendments will
be offered to the bill, and it will take
some time to get the Objectionable
points ironed out and the bill ready
for final passage. The school appro-
priation bill for the operation and
maintenance Of the public schools,
which is still in committee, will carry
an appropriation of $2,5O0,000 a year
for the next two years. 1t is believed
now that there are enough votes in
both houses to pass both these bills
when they are whipped into final
shape The new school tax measure,
a voluminous document, proposing
numerous minor changes in the pres
ent law, also will require considerable
time Of the members to thoroughly
digest it. The bill is SO constructed
that the filing fee feature can be cut
Or modified without interfering with
the remainder of the bill. During the
past two weeks practically every vol
unteer fire company in the State had
bills introduced appropriating to them
$3.50 a year for two years, and the
calendar Of this committee is crowded
with requests for appropriation. A
member Of the committee, however,
expressed the opinion Friday that
eventually only three companies, in
communities where there is valuable
State property, will be accommodated.
The State budget bill, carrying an ap-
preparation of $3,4O7,774, the propos-
ed $2,OOO,OOO school building program
bill; the biennial appropriation for
support of the public schools Of S.
100000, the biennial appropriation to
the State highway department, and
number Of supplementary appropria-
tion bills, would bring the total State
appropriation for the next two years
to over $11 100000.

SERVICE ELEVENS
 SEVER RELATIONS
Army and Navy Come to Part ing Of the Ways on GridiTon

New York. Dec. 17.-tPl-Army and Navy stood at the parting of the 1 ways in their football relations today
 while gridiron fans eXpcctantly
 awaited a move by the nations high
 officials 10 prevent q severance of q traditional rivalry dating back to
 1890.
 Some twenty years ago the serv- ice institutions had their first break but the Army and Navy war depart ments stepped in with suggestions and the series was resumed. Hope
 for similar action is held in this
 crisis.
 At the time of the first dissen-
 sion, there was disagreement over such matters as the selection of a site for the competition which has
 become ono of Amcrica's foremost classics. Now, the Navys three year player eligibility rule is responsible
 for the differences.
 Recently, thte naval athletic au- thoritics announced that after July
 1, 1928, the Middies would no. enter into competition with any team that would not acknowledge the th-ee- year player rule.
 Confirming the action of the ad- Nisory council on athletics at West | Point, Major Edwin B. Winans made known two days ago
 that the army would not accept the three-y"ar clause. Since then con- siderable speculation was rife as 10 whether the Army would continue on it's schedule
 Clarifying the situation yestcr-
 day, General Winans made public correspondence with Rear Admiral | Louis M. Mutton. superintendent of the naval academy, in which he dis closed the return Of a football con- tract Co Annapolis unsigned. Under date Of December 3, Ad- miral Mutton wrote 10 General Wi mans advising him ofthc Army Navy 1928 football game, calling attention
