President Iletzel.:. - In Itay the College was threatened with an abatement of approximately a million dollars of the appropriation. If this amount had actually been abat ed, the College could not have opened this year; for the funds of the College would. have, been insufficient to carry it through more 'than one semester; according to the statement. • Special Session Called To meet the emergency which had been created by the failure of State revenues to equal appropriations, a special session of the Legislature was called in June. The first legislation presented to meet this situation in cluded a reduction of the College ap propriation by approximately $BOO,- 000, but this proposal was abandoned by the Legislature and was followed by the so-called economy bill which provided for scaling down all appro priations previously made and that to the College by about $225,000. While this loss of expected income would have crippled: the work of the instittition, it would not have wrecked it and the College expressed its wil lingness to make the best of such a cut if it were necesary. however, in the closing days of the session, aftei two months of delibera tion, the Legislature enacted a gen eral sales tax to prOvide relief funds and reinstated the appropriaticin to the College in full. When it first became apparent that falling revenues would affect the in-. come of the College, the trustees initi ated a program of strict economy. This economy policy will be continued, for although the •present appropria tion has been restored, the revenues of the State and Nation will be seriously reduced for some time to come and the College must be prepared for sev eral lean years, the statement adds. TAXPAYERS LEAGUE TO MEET Delegates of taxpayers' associations in the State 'will attend a meeting of the Tax-Justice League of Pennsyl vania here Septeniber 26, for the .pur pose of discussing .remedial legisla tion on matters of taxation.
