CONTROL BOARD POWERS fl'AY BE RESTRICTED THE PENSACOLA JOURNAL, SUNDAY MORNING. MAY 11, 1919. a MARKET REPORTS J a a a as a b a a b b s h h b & INTIMATIONS OF OVERSTEPPING OF AUTHORITY ARE MADE IN SENATE, WHERE CONSERVA TION IS SLOGAN. (By HERBERT FELKEL) i Tallahassee, May 9. For the first time since the board of control was created by the Buckman bill that con solidated al! the email eo-educaUonal colleges into a great university for roen at Gainesville and a state college for women at uauanassee, the ap propriations asKea by the board of control will be cut by the legislature if amendments adopted by. the senate are concurred in by the house and the Mil as amended Is approved by the governor. The item providing for the expenses of the board of control was cut eight to six thousand dollars. Also the appro priations asked for a central heating plant, laundry and athletic field for the State College for "Women were reduced, and another successful amend ment provided that any part of money appropriated for a specific purpose and left over shall revert back to the state treasury and not be used by the board of control for purposes other than for what it is appropriated. With the exception of the cut in the expenses of the board of control, all of the reductions are aimed at the State College for "Women here, none of the Item3 asked for the University of Florida, the State School for the Deaf and the Blind or the Normal and Industrial College for Negroes being disturbed. It was stated on the floor that ap propriations in the past have been used where the board saw fit, and al though the report showed where these moneys went the board always asked for a lump sum when the legislature met Senator Johnson said it was the business of the legislature, and the legislature only, to appropriate. One instance cited was the usingr by the college authorities here of an appro priation for a pipe organ to buy a farm near the college campus. The organ never has been purchased, it is said, authough the legislature set aside a sum for that purpose. Objections also were . made on the floor of the senatf to the creation since the 1917 legislature of the addi tional position now held by Mr. Bryan Mack, secretary of the board of con trol. Senator MacWilllams said that formerly J. G. Kellum had been au ditor of the college here and secretary of tra board of control at a r-lary of three thousand dollars a year, but since the last regular session of the legislature the board of control had taken five hundred dollars off the sal ary of Mr. JCellum and created a new position secretary of the board of control Mr. Kellum and Mr. Mack re ceiving $2,500 a year each. If he was not stating the facts correctly, he asked to be corrected. Before the bill reached the senate the committee reduced the total ap propriations asked for all of the in stituions from approximately nine hun dred thousand dollars to something over six hundred thousand .dollars, it was stated. None of the cuts made after the bill ru.: placed before the senate was heavy. Several amendments offered by Sen ator Lowry, who was the author of the measure, were adopted. One of these provided for a playground and athletic field for the girls school here and the other for a state dairy special ist to travel the entire state, five thou rand dollars being appropriated for the first and forty-four hundred dollars for the latter. In reference to the athletic field. Sen ator Lowry said it was now necessary for the girls to conduct their track meets in the stretes because the cam pus had become so criss-crossed with roads, etc. As for tV laundry, he said there were six hundred girls there now who sent their clothes out to be washed by two or three negro women in various parts of the city. The Tal !ahasseean made an able effort to keep the bill intact and succeeded re markably well considering the appar ent attitude of the senate. - As to the expenses for the board of control. Senator Lowry said that out of that item had to come the salary of the secretary, traveling expenses of the board and its secretary,, station fry, etc. "When Senator Malone re in: - " the opposition that everybody's expenses were nearly double what ttey Tvere formerly.

Mr. Johnson said he understood a new office had been created and the increase was to take care of that. Senator Lowry said the board had asked for ten thousand dollars for Its expenses but the committee "had fixed the sum at eight. The senate reduced the amount to six thousand. Senator MacWilliams said he was opposed to using public funds to create polittical Jobs, and If there was any Item in the appropriation for the St. Augustine in stitution that did not belong there he would prepare an' amendment to am putate it. , He was appropriating the taxpayers money, he said. The appropriation for a heating plant and laundry was reduced from thirty to twenty thousand . dollars. Senator Singletary, the author of this amendment, said jome of the fur naces in the college building were practically new and that if the board would wait till January first next ma terials for a central heating plant, if such were necessary, would be much cheaper than' now.'
