the press agent placed the midget

APPROPRIATION
BILL GIVEN BIG
CUT BY SOLONS
HOUSE VOTED 81 TO is IN
PASSING MEASURE FOL-
LOWING DISCUSSION LAST
ING FOR THREE DAYS
tFIorida Pressl

TALLAHASSEE, June ~
The house Monday afternoon vot-
ed 81 to 16 to pass the senate
approved but house-amended gen.
eral appropriations act, after a
three-day discussion ON the var
lous controversial sections. The
bill is substitute for the admin
stration appropriation measure
based on recommendations of the
state budget commission. Many
items in the original house APP
preparations bill were inserted in
the senate measure as amend
ments, most of them calling for
lower figures than those approx
ed by the upper house.
The bill as amended was sent
to the senate and a conference
committee which will be necessary
to adjust the many differences
between the house and senate
recommendations.
AS finally approved, the meas
ure represents nearly a $4,000
600 reduction from the annual APP
preparations bill Of 1881. It is
$4,000 more than recommend
ed by the budget commission, and
$45O, 900 under the total of the
original senate measure. The
total appropriation as voted upon
by the house, provided for the
expenditure of approximately &c.
172, 900 annually for the next two
years.
Speaker Peter Tomasello, jr.,
offered an amendment which was
passed after strenuous opposition,
to incorporate into the bill pro-
vision that school funds shall
come out of the states general
treasury if other revenues pro-
vided by law fail to produce ST.
900, QUO q year.
Speager Tomasello, on defend
ing the amendment, said it would
permit the common schools of
the state to participate in the
general revenue fund on q pro-
rata basis" with the institutions
of higher learning and other state
departments. He estimated that
revenue now provided for the
schools would not exceed $4,000
600; in which case an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature will be inn
perative unless an adequate ap-
preparation for the care of the
schools is provided at this time.
Opponents of this measure
claimed the schools and general
appropriation bill should not be
handled together, and urged that
the house pass a separate appro-
priation measure for the schools.
as heretofore.
The amendment was adopted by
roll call vote of 60 to 80.

Germans Stress Tariff Woes
AS London Conference Nears
BY LOUISE. LOCHNER
air Associated Prenal

BERLIN, June 1.-The world
economic conference in London
will be regarded as success by
Germany, according to authorita-
tive information here, if it lowers
trade barriers, stabilizes curren-
cies, removes restrictions upon the
exchange of monies between coun-
tries and thus points the way to
relieving unemployment.
Work, in this country of more
than 100000 jobless, is the
pressing need of the common man.
Tariff Barriers Decried
To reduce unemployment, Ger
many will argue that artificial
tariff barriers erected since the
world war must fall on all sides,
so that normal intercourse can
again take place.
1t will further be Necessary that
international regulation be eff
fected for reducing the interest
rate on capital borrowed before
the big economic depression set in.
Also, it will be necessary to eff
feet some sort of international
sterilization of currencies, so that
the producers in countries with
stable currencies may be relieved
of uncertainty in calculating their
prices as compared with those of
fluctuating currencies.
Gold, Germany will argue, is
still the best standard.
North and South American in
terests in the German delegations
proposals probably will center in
crop reduction and consolidation of
Germany's short term loans into
longer term credits.
BY snoring up her tariff walls
Germany has almost succeeded in
stopping agricultural imports from
the western hemisphere.

increase in world prices, the gov

tariffs. S3tses-

foot of Greene street. the liquor
was destroyed and allowed to set
tie on the ground puddles, pools
or lakes, according 70 the number

Now the liquor is destroyed IN

disappears into the sewer. At the
