Lincoln, April 24.—In a six hour session this afternoon the senate ad vanced the blanket appropriations hill to third tending and everything indicates it will pass on third reading tomorrow, thus placing it at the dis posal of the house Thursday. The total appropriations of the hill as passed are approximately $600,000 more than the bill passed by the house. % Idditions in the bill were several bun deeds of thousands more than the 4000,000. However, a number of house items were trimmed sufficiently to make the total in the neighborhood of only $600,000 more than the house bill. The bill as recommended by the seif -ile finance committee was exactly $100,000 less than the bill which was advanced to third reading late tonight. The $100,000 represents an addition for the Yankton bridge talked on by Keifenralh of Knox. The senate voted 16 to 13 in favor of this hike. Less Than Budget. Despite all additions made to the bill it still calls for less in the way of direct taxation than the budget recommended by Governor Bryan. Fol lowing is a comparison of the totals necessary to raise by taxation under the house bill, the senate bill and the Hryan budget: Bryan budget, $15,816,380.90: house hill. $15,206,653.42; senate bill, $15, 816.709.42. The senate bill takes care of appro priations for existing activities in con formity with tlie governors request and the appropriations for the activi ties are arranged in such a manner, according to Senator Purcell, demo crat, that they can be arranged to dovetail with any subsequent bill that may change the present method of handling state activities. Following are the chief increases, In addition to state activities appropria tions, of the senate bill over the house bill: Senate Rill Increase*. STjXrw guaranty fund commission, $.10,000; bureau of securities, $2.1.000; lire prevention. *23,000; state board of agriculture. *60,000; ‘ state reference bureau. $21,700: horn® for dependent children. $$0,000; new cellhou*e at state reformatory. $100i000; rnainte nance Arbor lodge.

The most notable were Those of Korkin and Chambers of Omaha, to reduce the JGO.OOO appro piiation to $30,000 for law enforce ment and Good of Hawes to put in 131,000 for state parks. In addition to the totals raised by direct taxation given out by the sen rte finance commission $5,311,670.46 Is reapproprhtterl for specific activities from federal fund*, fer s and r ash fund*. Iteapprrypristions of this money i* marie by Governor Bryan In his budget and by the house. A fight was made by Good of Dawes *ymd McGowan of Norfolk to put nor rnfll school appropriations to the figures in the house bills.
