FR0STBURG And Tri-State Area News 2 -Cumberland Evening Times, Monday, April 14,1975 Legislature Must Adjourn Tonight A a I Members of the West i i i a Legislature today hoped to resolve questions concerning the funding of the state Department of Highways, adjourn the 1975 session. Under a resolution adopted last month, the session must conclude at midnight. i the weekend ex- tension of the regular session which recessed more a a month ago, the Legislature overrode nearly 50 guber- natorial vetoes, most of them on a i a i bills i supplement the basic slate operating budget. Still a i in the balance was legislation authorizing the governor to sell an additional Stun million in bonds under the Better Roads A The Senate and House of Delegates were at odds on the i mid a compromise had to be reached before it could be enacted into law. The Senate late Sunday called Commissioner i i a Ritchie to answer questions on the a i a i a i a condition.

He was questioned for nearly three hours, until after midnight. In i legislators a the department needs S27 million in additional revenue to follow its a i a program next year, Ritchie was repeating previous remarks made to the Legislator. The gained from proposed bond sales is ear- marked solely for construction projects, but questioning of Ritchie drifted into other areas as well. The legislation passed by both chambers earlier this session allowed the chief executive to sell the SlOO million in bonds, but it tied his hands with respect to the a and i i of the bond issues. Gov.

Arch Moore vetoed it. The House, instead of taking steps to override the veto, redrafted the measure to meet the governor's objections. The Senate, however, refused to accept the new version, in- i a i its i i a i to override the veto. Ritchie was called to the chamber after Senate President William Brotherton left the presiding chair to deliver a scathing attack on Moore, accusing the governor of failing to tell the about the needs of the Highways a Brotherton said Moore has refused to send the Legislature new revenue estimates showing an additional $34 million in state coffers, which could be used to a i a i a Department problem. "Who's interested in the Brotherton asked.

"Not the governor of the State of West Virginia because he has had that information sitting on his desk for two months." Under the constitution, the Legislature can appropriate only the a of revenues anticipated to be collected according to the governor's estimates. "We've never gotten the from the governor of West Virginia." Brotherton declared. The Senate president said the i a a a been using money earmarked for a i a such as filling potholes, to build new roads instead. "The governor of the State of West Virginia is responsible for the deterioration of the roads," Brotherton said. Most of the vetoes overriden during the weekend were on a i a i i i the state's basic operating budget.

Among the measures enacted into law over the objections of the governor was a bill raising salaries of school service personnel such as cooks and janitors by defining a full-time work day as hours. It was accompanied by an S8.2 million appropriation. The Legislature also nullified Moore's veto of a measure restricting the use of the fuel adjustment clause by public utilities and the Senate con- firmed Calvin A. Calendine of Parker.sburg as state public institutions commissioner. During the weekend, the i a a a i overrode the governor's veto of the coal tax bill and raised taxes from $3.50 to S3.85 on every SlOO worth of coal produced.

The lawmakers also allocated SBjS.SUO for the National Track and Field Hall of Fame in Charleston, a measure expected to be ap- proved by the governor.
