MESSAGE
STATE OF G_B~ORGlA, Executive Department, Atlanta, June 25, 1919.
To the House of Represr11tatives, State of Georgia:.
Attached hereto are, (]) Copy for a statement submitted by the Budget
and lnvestigati11g- Commission in transmitting for submissi011 to :nm the General Appropriation Bill prepared by that Commission, as re(1nired by the law creating it; and
( 2) Cop)- of the General Appropriation Bill as drafted.
Particular attention is called to the statement of said Commission hearing upon the State's financial condition and the amount of revenues that can he reasonably anticipated.
1t is respectfully submitted that the estimate made by this Commission is extremely liberal, and the importance of keeping constantly in mind their recornmenclations, which are made in the interest of harmonizing expenditures with revenues, 1s urged.
3
This Commission have labored diligently and their work, as disclosed by this Bill, will, I think, be found worthy of commendation.
To appreciate the improvement in the Bill submitted over any other bill heretofore passed by any General Assembly in this State, it is only necessary to make a comparison.
If it should be found necessary to make any amendments or changes in the Bill, you are requested to observe the simple method prescribed at the beginning of said Bill. HUGH M. DORSEY, Gover1101.

To His Excellency, the Governor of Georgia:
The undersigned members of the Budget and Investigating Commission created under the Act of the General Assembly of Georgia by Act of August 12, 1918 (Georgia Laws of 1918, page 155), have, as required by Section 3 of the Statute creating the Commission, prepared a General Appropriation Bill, copy of which is attached. You are requested to deliver this Bill to the Chairman of the Appropriation Committee of the House, as contemplated by law, so soon as the Chairman of that Committee is named.
From data furnished by the Comptroller-General, and from such information as the Commission have been able to gather from other sources, it is estimated that the revenues of the State available for appropriations for the year 1920 cannot reasonably be expected to exceed the sum of Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars $8,600,000). ~Che General Appropriation Bill as prepared and submitted herewith carries a total of Eight Million, Five Hundred and Eighty-four Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ten Dollars, and Seventy-two cents ($8,584,710.72). Some of the appropriations suggested in this Bill cannot be definitely ascertained at this time, but the sum total will not materially increase the amount; such are, for instance, the sums necessary to pay fees to the Solicitors-General, the Trustees of the University of Georgia for their mileage, per diem, etc.
In addition to the items recommended in the General Appropriation Bill, the following special appropriation recommended, viz.:
5
GEOHGIA TRAINING SCHOOL FOR GIRLS
(Item a) Pumping station _____ $1,000.00 ('Item b) Septic tank _________ 2,300.00 $:-3,500.00
It will be observed that the Commission recommend appropriations amountiug in the total to IDiglit Million, Five Hundred and l1Jighty-eight Thousand, Two Hundred and Ten Dollars and Seventy-two cents ($8,588,210.72), thus practically consuming all revenues which the State can reasonably anticipate for the year 1920.
No provision is made in the apportionment of the revenues to care for whatever increases are authorized hy the recent Constitutional Amendments for. pensions and increased pay of the members of the General Assembly. No note was taken of this lwcause the Commission felt that it should not anticipate action with respect to these matters, hut if laws should be passed making effective these Constitutional Amendments, it would further increase the appropriations by the additional sum of approximately Three Hundred and Fifty-six Thousand Dollars ($356,000.00). Should laws he enacted authorizing these increases, the Appropriation Bill submitted herewith must he proportionately reduced.
Th(~ Commission have considered the needs of several Departments, institutions and agencies to which appropriations should be made in the General Appropriations Bill and have adjusted them to the revenues of the State as seemed proper.
"While the Commission feel that with possibly a few exceptions all appropriations-general and spe-
6
cial-asked should be granted, still we realize that this is impossible and, therefore, such sums have been designated as in the opinion of this Commission the Treasury of the State will warrant.
Requests have been submitted for appropriations which should properly he carried in the 0-Pneral Appropriation Bill, which would inC'1ease the sum total of appropriation-; carri,~d therein to Eight Million, Seven Hund red Forty-three Thousand, Five Hundred 'l1cn Dollars and Seventy-two Cents ($8,743,510.72), and in addition thereto special appropriations amounting to One Million, Twenty-one Thousand, Five Hundred Dollars ($1,021,500.00), have been requested, making a grand total of requested appropriations of Nine Million, Seven Hundred Sixty-five Thousand, Ten Dollars and Ninety-three Cents ($9,765,010.93). It is thus seen that it is imposs~ble to recommend these requests in view of the State's financial condition.
It is the opinion of the Commission that it would be um,risc to exceed the sum total in the General Appropriation Bill, plus the special apprqpriation suggested for the Georgia Training School for Girls, which this Commission deems urgent.
We believe that the best interests of the State will be served by applying all anticipated revenues for the objects and purposes herein shown.
In addition to the General Appropriation Bill, the Commission ,vill present you for transmission to the General Assembly a full and complete report
7
covering all matters with which this commission was charged in the Act creating it as soon as it can be printed.
Respectfully submitted, HuGH M.DoRSEY, Governor. M. L. BRITTAIN,
State Superintendent of Schools.
