INTRODUCTION
This supplement to the 1965-67 Biennial Budget Report reflects the proposed appropriation of $18,555,695 for the remainder of the biennium ending June 30, 1967, and leaves an unbudgeted surplus in the General Treasury of $6, 229. 19. This supplemental appropriation is to be financed from State surplus funds on June 30, 1965 totaling $18,299,817. 19 and from State-matching funds of $262,100 appropriated in the current biennium to the Department of Labor for manpower development training allowances. The appropriated funds of $262, 100 are now available for withdrawal and reappropriation due to recently enacted Federal legislation which repealed the requirement of State-matching funds for training allowances for manpower development.
This report also contains the Governor 1s recommendations for additional funds to be appropriated to State agencies to meet statutory responsibilities and other contingent expenses not provided for in the General Appropriations Act.

The Constitution of the State of Georgia provides that the annual appropriation to the State Highway Department be no less than the net motor fuel tax collections for the preceding fiscal year. The inclusion of $6, 000, 000 for Grants to Municipalities caused the Highway Department's Fiscal 1966 State Appropriation to exceed net motor fuel tax collections for Fiscal 1965. The recommended appropriation is equal to the amount which would have been transferred by Constitutional provision, had Grants to Municipalities been excluded from the Highway Department's appropriation for Fiscal 1966.

The programs of the Department of Industry and Trade are being expanded to meet the requirements of Georgia 1s unprecedented growth. To achieve fully

the program objectives, the Department proposes the creation of several new positions, as well as an increased program of investigative surveys.

The Appalachian Program is presently being administered through the
Planning Division of the Department. For each year of this biennium, a budget
of $130,000 has been tentatively approved, which includes State funds of $40, 750.
In the absence of a specific appropriation, $8,434 has been transferred from
the Governor's Emergency Fund so far this year, leaving $73,066 in State funds
to be supplied for this biennium.
The recommended appropriation is adequate to finance:
1. Sixteen new positions in Fiscal 1967, primarily in the areas of planning, administration and research.
2. An increase of $90, 000 in funds for surveys. 3. The State's share of the administrative cost of the Appalachian Program.

The recommended appropriation will provide funds as requested by the Attorney General to increase salaries of several key attorneys who are underpaid. The Law Department is constantly involved in litigation with some of the best attorneys in the State of Georgia and must render the highest type legal opinions. In order for the Department to operate in a proper manner and to recruit and retain competent attorneys it is imperative that attorneys' salaries be increased to a competitive level with attorneys in private practice.

Additionally, increased workload in the Law Department necessitates an increase in the number of Assistant Attorneys General. The recommended appropriation provides for employment of 3 additional assistants on or about March 1, 1966.

The increased cost of Personal Services generates a relative increase in Operating Expenses to provide funds for employees 1 retirement, social security, and health insurance benefits.

The advancing of the appointments of already approved second officers for seven judicial circuits to March 1, 1966 and the appointment of sixteen new probation officers on July 1, 1966 are the primary needs of the State Board of Probation to help eliminate the problem of excessive caseloads of the present staff.

The recommended appropriation of $75, 000 will adequately provide for the advance appointment of a second officer in each of seven circuits and the appointment of twelve new officers in other circuits where the priority of need has been established.

The probation officers to be appointed on or about March 1, 1966, will be assigned to the seven circuits as follows: Alapaha, Southwestern, Lookout Mountain, Northeastern, Cordele, Tifton and Brunswick.

The probation officers to be appointed July 1, 1966 will be assigned to
