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

asked him If he knew what the board
of control wanted with this additional
money for their expense.
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.' Senator Lowry ex
plained that there are eleven boilers
and eleven negro firemen to keep them
going in the winter. Sometimes these
men failed to show up. he said, and the
employment of so many men could be
dispensed with by the proposed cen
tral heating plant.
The appropriation for the summer
schools for teachers at both the Uni
versity at Gainesville and the College
for Women here will remain at seventy-five
hundred dollars, although the
board asked and the bill called for ten
thousand dollars, an increase of twenty-five
hundred over former appro
priations
