inE ATLAJS'i'A tiitUKUIAJN AJN L) M5W8, LIE PASSED US BUDGEIWAR Appropriations Bill Passes House After Bitter Verbal Battle. Little Danger of Veto. The lie was parsed In the House Friday, Representative Barry Wright, of .Floyd, using the word in resenting lobbying charges intimated by Rep resentative Howard Ennis, of Bald win. Ennis started toward Wright, but several of the other members of the House Intervened and the matter was quickly straightened out, Mr. En nis declaring that his words carried no innuendo or intimation, but that it was simply asking for Information. Representative Wright had movsd for a reconsideration of sections 4 and b of the general appropriations bill, which the House was considering as a committee of the whole. These two sections provide for the appropria tions for schools, colleges and State institutions. Ennis interrupted Wright in m speech and Inquired If “he was not in spired by members of the ‘third house* to ask for a reconsideration ’’ Wright’s Retort Sharp. • The reply of Wright was that "an such a statement was a lie, an abso lute falsehood.'* He demanded that if Ennis had such proof or evidence that he at once submit it to the House. Ennis explained that he had no such evidence; that he did not mean to Intimate that the Representative from Floyd had be^en so Inspired, but that he simply wanted to find out if such could be the case. Carrying with It an appropriation of $6,795,667, which Is $108,900 under last year’s bill, and carrying an addi tional appropriation of $3,679,000 to refund bonds in 1914-16, the general appropriations bill was passed by the House Friday. By the passage of the bill at this time all House records were broken, and everything looks safe for a quick passage through the Senate and to the Governor for approval. Little Change in Bill. The bill, as amended, showed a dif ference in but three of the appropria tions recommended by the committee. This included $2,550,000 for the pub lic school fund for each of the years 1913 and 1914. which was an increase of $60,000 over the committee recom mendation; $30,000 instead of $26,000 for the maintenance of the Soldiers’ Home, and a slight Increase in the ap propriation for clerical help In one of the Statehouse departments. Much debate was Indulged in on several items. Representative Barry Wright objecting to many on the grounds that It was following in the footsteps of the 1911 Legislature, “which was the most extravagant in the history of Georgia." The Confederate pensions section, which covered many items, totaling $1,074,800, was an object of special at tack, but no change was made In it. WOLFSHEIMER & CO. 114-116 WHITEHALL ST.
