4 AEWS OF THE LEGISLATURE SWEENEY STANDS FOR A STANDARD N T o Agreement Results From the Conference Held With the Master Bakers James Sweeney, State chief of stan dards, proposes to stand by his bill to make sixteen ounces the standard loaf of bread in Pennsylvania notwith standing his conference with repre sentative bakers here yesterday. Mr. Sweeney says that while the consum ers generally prefer a 5-cent loaf, un der present conditions they do not know what they are getting and that under normal conditions 16-ounco loaves can be sold at a fair profit and that if people are compelled to pay 6 or 7 cents for a 16-ounce loaf they 'win at least know what they are re ceiving. "The bill will protect the bakers as well as the public. There can be no valid objection to a 16-ounce stan dard," said he. The bill is in the hands of a Senate committee and it is prob able that the chief will appear before it and advocate his position in the event that a hearing Is asked. Some of the bakers here yesterday said that they could demonstrate by statements from consumers that a 16- ounce loaf would not be as satisfactory to housewives as one of smaller size.

This is the first appropriation bill to reach him and as it carries consider ably over half a. million dollars the Governor is disposed to take his time in acting upon it. Two years ago the Governor carved thousands of dollars from the deficiency bill and he will make inquiries of branches of the gov ernment on items which were not sub mitted to him when* he made up the statement for the framing of the measure. Included in the bill are the ex penses of the escheat of the Harmony Society on which there was a SIO,OOO counsel tee paid outside of the $43,000 carried in the bill and a number of legislative items. Some of the de partmental items are also changed from what they were when submitted. When the general bill is made up it is probable that the Governor will seek an appropriation for art works for the State Capitol in line with his suggestion made at a luncheon of the State Society here last month. The Governor is also interested in com pleting the decorations of the corri dors before ho goes out of office, the north corridor, which John W. Alex ander was to have decorated, being still without paintings. The bill reached' the Governor Wednesday and his time will be up about the time the Legislature re convenes. The first hearings on departmental estimates will be held by the State Economy and Efficiency Commission at the Capitol next Tuesday when Gov ernor Brumbaugh will return from the Inauguration. The estimates are *25,-1 000,000 higher than two years ago, but] that u considerable portion of them will be justified is contunded by State officials, Tho Increases which it Is expected will be approved by the Governor and his associates will be those in the Btate Highway Department for coiui building, including tho allowance for boroughs! the Increase of $3,000,000 for the public schools and an increase for the State Forestry Department to buy forest reserves. The plan is to clean up tho hearings next week so that tho budget called for by tho Dalx resolution can bo In | the hands of the Appropriation Com | nilttce the latter part of this month.
