German tinuance or DEBATE GENERAL ~ DEFICIENCY BILL Senator Magee Says Tuberculosis Commission Was Too Zealeus. Hartford, March 16.—The financial | side of state administration brought to the attention of the leg lature today when, the senate | there was a discussion of the general | deficiency bill reported by Senator Magee from the committee on appro- priations. The debate bore man; criticisms of the policy of commis- sions and departments to spend more money than has been voted to them The deficiency bill was taken up from the calendar. Senator Magee direct- ed attention to the deficiency amount for the tuberculosis commission of $117,000, the largest item in many. He said that he hesitated about criti- cising the work of that commission but he felt that the commission had plenty of zeal and were too zealous. { The commissioners had used a part of the maintenance fund to make | what they thought were necessary re- pairs. The commission’s report says | that the appropriation was cut down ; $35,000 twa years ago. They had | asked for $7 per week per patient on 1 a basis of five hundred patients, and | had received instead of $365,000 asked | for the total of $379,000. Senator Magee said he hoped that some way would be devised to compel different commissions and departments to keep within the appropriations. When the legislature says $400,000 it should mean $400,000 and not $600,000. Klett Seeks Information. Senator Klett asked if it was so that the repairs were made and that money for maintenance was lacking. Senator Magee replied © that the | commission’s report showed that in October there were 417 patients and while it might have happened that there had been five hundred or more | patients under treatment the report | did not show it and the commission | did not need the full amount set aside l | W in for maintenance. Senator Isbell asked if the commit- tee had considered legislation which + the author ! ing the performance i ed by i of neighbors. { the livestock failed becausse keep commissions and within their Covered By Senator Magee said this was cov- cred by a statute and he had asked Mr. Bronson to find the penalty clause in it but he had had no report. Senator Isbell said that the same matter had been under consideration by him and he would ask the judi- ciary committee to see if it could originate a measure which would meet the situation. The deficiency bill with a few minor amendments was adopted. The bill carried a grand total of $661,943.06. would ments depart- appropriations.
