This morning the House and
Senate adopted the Conference |
Committee's report on the Gen-
eral Appropriations Bill. As al-
ways, the bill does not satisfy
every one, but I sincerely be-
lieve that the Conference Com-
mittee, to the best of their abtli-
ty. attempted to provide an ac-
ceptable bill. The bill covers ex-
penditures of two billion, ninety
million dollars plus.
Pay raises were granted some
11000 in the departmental por-
tion at a cost of approximately
10 million dollars, with major in-
creases granted thp Highway Pa-
trol, the Liquor Board, and In-

Welfare spending drew nearly ;and fwrnj|y. After supper all en-
100 million of State funds for
the biennium.
The Highway Department Is
another big spender consuming
368 million dollars over the bi-
ennium. The biggest toll of State
money is taken by the Central
Education Agency. Our State Ed-
ucation System will cost approxi-
mately 553.5 million dollars over
the next.biennium. The Minimum
Foundation program is a com-
plicated and technical operation
and quite easy to be misunder-
stood. We regret that some in-
formation that was dissemtnsted
resulted In misunderstandings of
a certain phrase or terminology
in the appropriation bill, but ac-
cording to an opinion by the At-
torney General, the language
that was contained In the Gener-
al Appropriation bill does not
abolish the existing Minimum
Foundation program, nor does it
destroy the present State Mini-
mum salary schedule, nor elimi-
nate the automatic financing of
public education. The cut-off
date of April 1, 1957. was deleted.
Every effort has been made to
provide the most money possible
for teachers pay raises wlhtout a
joyed dancing until 10 p. m.
