The 1969-70 budget has recommended $41.4 million for the fund and, he said, if the bill becomes law, it will cost only an additional $4 mililon for 1969-70. In addition to the budgeted but unspent funds, he said, there is another major factor making the increase practical. He pointed out that while the average number of cases a month are 381, the average number of deaths of afflicted men each month is 175, indicating that there is a diminishing requirement as a result of the decline in numbers of men in mining and the aging of the retired and veteran the St.

Bachman. Bachman, who was among the sponsors of the bill, said that all of the 97 Democrats present and 18 Republicans voted for the measure.

There were 61 votes against it. The bill now goes to the Senate for action. A previous attempt to increase the monthly payments to the asthma victims in the 1968 Legislature was approved in the Senate before it was vetoed by Gov. Shafer. At that time, Shafer had claimed he took the negative action in keeping with his expressed policy of not approving any money bills for which no appropriation was provided.

However, supporters of the increase, which included all local legislators, contended that there was sufficient money in the over-all fund appropriation covering such payments to' provide the $25 a month increase. Bachman explained that the 1968-69 appropriation was for $57,265,510 while the estimated expenditures totaled only $38,591,000. This left a difference of $18,674,510 already appropriated and unexpended, he said, to meet the increases, which would have cost about $600,000 a let, and the projects are now under construction. Another contract amounting to $50,000 for equipping 7a wells, pumps and motor stations, has not been let as of this date.
