ley's final ofiicial acts before

mond. jr.. takes over on Sat-
urday.
Anti-Integration Funds
Like the previous budget. the
proposed 1880 fiscal plan
includes money to combat inte-
grafton. There is $2.5 million
Tor tuition grants for private
education Of students wherever
schools might close as a result
Of integration. This is an in
crease Of $500.000 over the
amount included In the last
budget-and not spent.
A total Of $3.50. TAO is recon-
mended for operation Of the
pupil placement board which Is
part Of virginia's anti-integra-
ton machinery. This is an in
crease Of s243.00O over the old
budget. The placement board
was in operation only one year
during the past biennium.
Also included is $500 900 for
legal assistance to localities In
segregation cases.
University Branch Funds
Funds are proposed for con-
tinued operation Of the North
ern Branch Of the University
OF Virginia. but no money is
: set up for construction Of a
perm anent home for the
branch.
Gov. Stanley told a press
Z conference last week that a
site had not been agreed on at
the time the budget was pre-
pared, therefore no money was
included for construction of
the permanent branch Univer-
sity.
The local control board for
the branch school finally has
agreed on a site near the inter-
section Of Route so and Gal
lows road. Chairman Harrison
Mann. member Of the House
Of Delegates from Arlington,
said q supplemental budget
item could be requested through
the Governor. or an amend
ment could be offered to the
appropriations bill.
The budget also omits any
recommendation for a new
mental hospital in Northern
Virginia, which residents Of the
area had sought.
Capital Outlay: S2s Million
A total Of s2a million is
proposed for capital expendi-
lures during the next two
years. This includes Sill million
for construction and improve
ments at State colleges: $l0.4
million for continuation Of the
mental hospital expansion pro-
gram and SIS million for i'm
provements at penal institu-
tons.
Two funds comprise the pro-
posed budget-the general fund
and the special fund. The
former is fed principally by
taxes levied on individuals and
corporations. The special fund
is derived from use taxes, like
the gasoline tax. Federal grants.
liquor sales and other income
restricted for specific purposes.
About 20 per cent Of $50 mil
lion surplus would go for re-
curing expenditures. Capital
outlay would get s2s million.
the literary fund $40 million
and about 81 million is not rec
commended for appropriation.
Past practice has been 10 use
surplus funds for capital ex-
penditures rather than for re-
curing expenditures.
