During debate- on the Talbott bill, however, its opponents brought out that the state will receive back about $10,000,000 it paid toward the Phila- deiphia-Camden bridge across the Delaware River. Of the total of $15,016,000, the legislature appropriated for direct relief $12,350,000 and the remainder was for work relief and for the cost of the extra session. The amount includes $2,000,000 appropriated to state-aided hospitals, The measure was approved last week but only Tuesday was signect by Lieutenant Governor Edward S.

Shannon and sent to the governor. The bill approved Monday was the Ernest bill appropriating $2,300,000 for construction of a finance building on Capitol Hill.
