--i. . ' ....... 12 Th tefesmcm, " -n. ' State Building Needs Placed Under Study Appointment of a sub-group to work out a state building program, covering new construction at both the higher educational centers and at the state institutions, and ap proval of important amendments to the current state retirement act, highlighted a meeting of the legis lative joint ways and means com mittee Wednesday. Members of the subcommittee to suggest a state b iding pro gram are Sens. Carl tigdahl and Austin Flegel and Reps. Rudy Wilhelrh, William Morse and W. Wi Chadwick. Wilheim will serve as chairman. The committee was directed to file a report so that some action may be taken before final adjournment of the present legislature. The state board of higher edu cation originally sought $12,000, 000 for new construction while the board of control, with supervision over state institutions, asked for $8,000,000. Both of these requests . Thursday. April 7. 1949 hcie omitted Irom1 the state budg et to the legislature, j Virtually all members of the ways and means committee agreed that some sort of a building pro gram would hive to be devised. The maximum salary basis up on which employes shall contri bute under the state's; retirement , plan was increased from $2400 to i $3,000 a year in amendments ap- 1 proved by the ways Sand means I committee. The bill still provides that employes' shall j contribute only five per cent of their salar ies in which case the employer would contribute on a like amount. The increased participation from $2400 ta- $3000 would cost the state an estimated $135,000 a year. The committee j rejected a proposal to increase the length of coverage fcr prior service from 20 to 30 years, a benefit which would cost an additional $50,000 a year. The committee reported out with a "do pass" recommendation a bill eliminating tithing by the sta'e game commission. An appropriation of $10,000 and creation of a board, under which an undetermined number of blind elementary school students would be placed in the public schools, were approved H&H HITS THE BULLSEYE WITH VALUES LIKE THESE - 5-PIEtE CHROME DIIIETTE Extension Table and 4 Chrome Chain in either red or blue.
