STATE BUDGET
CConfinued from First Pagrl

course affects every State depart
ment and institution, shall not be
paid out unless in conformity with
the provisions in this section. IL di-
vides officers and employees of the
! State into four classes as follows:
! First class, those receiving salaries
of more than $1,000 to $l,500; sec
ond class, of more than $l,500 to
$3,500; third class, more than $3,5O0
to $4,000; fourth class, those receiv-
ing more than $4,000.
Those in class one would be cut
6 per cent of the salary they re-
ceivc on June 80. 1882. but provid-
ing that no reduction shall be made
below 81 900. In class two the re-
duction would be per cent on the
portion of salary up to $1,000 and
10 per cent for that portion above
81, 500. In class three the reduction
would be per cent on salary up to
f,5OO, 10 per cent for that portion
between 81 800 and $500 and Is per
cent for all of the salary over 3d.
500. The reduction in class four
would be per cent up to $1,500, 10
per cent from $1,5O0 to $500, Is
per cent between $3,500 and $4,000
and 20 per cent for all of salary in
excess of $4,000. This section, how
ever, cannot affect those salaries
that may be fixed by the constitution.
The budget committee had been
working on the budget and conduct
ing hearings since early in the ses-
sion. In the original appropriation
bill which was recommended by
Governor Buck the amount was $2,-
260.027, for the first year and S2,-
3S4,O10 for the second year. The
amount requested would have total
led $3.591 ,65S, for the first year and
$$3 ,O74,S for the second year.
The total of the substitute bill |
by the Legislative bud
get committee is Sl77,6S6, more |
titan the total ia the bill originally |
recommended by Governor Buck.
This increase is largely due to the |
fact that it was found necessary to |
include Il number of large items in
Lhe bill that were not in the tenta-
live budget bill For instance $780,
400 is set up for the maintenance OF
.he State Welfare Home which was
not in the Governors bill. II was
ilso thought advisable to allow
S3i 900 additional to Brandywine
and $4,000 for oral
lental hygiene work not i'm the Buck
IilI. AS matter of fact the budget
committee reduced numerous items
n the original bill but these large
mounts brought the total up in eX-
.ess of that in the Governors bill.
This bill does not carry the school
either for maintenance
II building program. One reason the
mount is larger for the second
ear than the first is the fact that
lie second year will be a general
election year and an amount had
o be set up to pay the expenses OF
he election.
The budget bill two years ago was
larger than the. one re-
iorted favOrably today. The State
midget shows there was apprOpriat-
d from the general fund for the year
nding June 30, 1892, $6,101 ,27O.26 !
nd the total for tile present year
nding June 30. $1,345, ,755.O2. These
Dtals, however, were not all car
led in the budget bill two years
20, much of it being in separate
ills such as apprOpriating money
jr new buildings
