Area Bills Pulled Off
Senate Calendar Today
JTJNEA.U UP) — Two bills which *
would appropriate $700,000 for
State’s depressed area program .
were pulled off the Senate cal- ‘
endar today before the upper
chamber could get around to con- (
sidering them.
The Senate passed one minor
bill and then prepared to con
sider SB244, which would make
a supplemental appropriation of
$200,000 for the depressed area (
program for the balance of fiscal
1962. ,
The next bill which was on the
calendar, SB245, would appropri
ate $500,000 for the depressed area
program in fiscal 1963.
When the Senate got to SB244,
Sen. John Coghill objected that
the bill and its companion meas
ure had been placed on the cal
endar even though the Rules
Committee had not acted to do
so. ;
Coghill asked that the two bills
be returned to the Rules Commit
tee, of which he is a member.
After a hastily called recess and
Rules Committee meeting, Chair
man John McNees requested that
the two measures be held over
until tomorrow’s calendar.
