The Appropriation Bill Early in the session of the Fifty-fifth General Assembly, Representative John R. Neal of Rhea, introduced a bill in the House of Representatives, providing for the appropriation of $100,000.00 to the University of Tennessee. This bill was immediately referred to the Finance, Ways and Means Committee of the House, and was unanimously recom- mended for passage. Representative Neal championed the bill, and was ably seconded by Representatives Hassell of Gibson, Cottrell of Knox, Shea and Benham of Shelby, Dickson of Haywood, Marr of Davidson, and others. Thus it is seen that the bill received supporters from all sections of the State. On Feb- ruary 13th it was put to a vote and pass- ed the House—the vote standing 57 to 30. The bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Dancy Fort of Montgomery and was referred to the Finance, Ways and Means Committee of that body. This Committee, however, held the bill until after the recess, and then reported it without other recommendation than that it be reduced to $90,000.00. Several amendments were offered, but only one was accepted. This one provided that $10,000.00 of this money should be used for carrying on cooperative experiments in agriculture in Middle Tennessee. Sen- ators Fort of Montgomery, Cox of Sulli- van, Sugg of Dyer, Duncan of Knox, Graham of McMinn, and Mansfield of Hickman worked for and made strong speeches in favor of the bill. As a result of the faithful efforts made, the bill passed the Senate on March 21, with a vote of 19 to 11, and was later signed by Gov- ernor Patterson. This liberal appropriation emphasizes the fact that Tennessee has at last claimed her own; and it is hoped and fully ex- pected that this appropriation is but an earnest of others to follow.
