Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 1548 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT MAKING AN APPROPRIATION FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL IMPROVEMENTS,"

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1548, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1548, H.D. 1, and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
