t.VPh-Rep. W. W. Smoak of Colleton, dry leader, said today tbe prohibitionists had abandoned their fight to pass a dry bill during the 1944 session of the legislature. "That's just my opinion, after talkins with many of oui prohibition leaders." Smoas said.

"The Senate showed in defeating the prohibition amendment to the appropriations bill last week that any dry measure we might pass in the house would be defeated by the senate. "What's the use of butting our heads against a brick wall? It seems to me that anv further efforts during nis legislature would be useless. Smoak said he hoped a free conference on the appropriations bill would restore to it a house-approved but senate-killed provision that would require a division in the state department of education to supervise education in the public schools. believe they will restore Smoak said. -It was adopted by a heavy house vote, and was defeated by but one vote in the senate."

t.iJP A bill directing the state highway department to "acquire" the John P. Grace Memorial (Cooper river bridge and free it of tolls within three years was approved today by the senate finance committee and disapproved by a majority of the state highway commission. Unanimous committee approval of the bill to permit operation of the span as a toll structure until March 1. 1947. unless the department's financial condition permitted retirement of a $4,400,000 bond is-cu Kpfnre thpn.

was eiven several hours after the commission bya 10 to 3 vote adopted a resolution declaring, in part, that: COMMISSION VIEW "The commission is of the opinion that there should be no toll bridges on the state highway system xxx however, the commission Ls of the further opinion that there would be no advantage In obligating the state to free the bridge effective in 1947 xxx." Transfer of the bridge, now owned bv Charleston county, to the state would be authorized upon retirement of the outstanding bonds. Operation by the highway department would begin September 1 and the department at its option could issue certificates of indebtedness to retire the bonds or allow them to remain outstanding upon assumption of the payment of interest and principal, amounting to about monthly. The bill drawn by a sub-committee of the finance, group replaced a measure introduced by Senator O. T. Wallace of Charleston providing for state purchase of the two-and-a-half mile structure for $4,620,000 of which Charleston county would furnish $620,000.

The bridge was built in 1929 at a cost of $6,600,000. In addition to conveying the bridge to the state, the bill would provide that an accumulated surplus of approximately $318,000 derived from operations of the bridge, and cash in hand for payment of bond principal, amounting to $301,989, would be turned over to the state on September 1. Tolls collected by the state which proponents said aggregated about $400,000 annually, would be used to retire the bonds issued when Charleston county purchased the structure several years ago. LIKES THE PLAN Sen. R.

M. Jefferies of Colleton, chairman of the sub-committee which recommended passage of the measure, said he believed the plan was "safe financing. "Rnrplv can nnMctnitte Improv ed conditions in the highway department's finances before March 1. 1947." Jefferies told the committee. "We can accept this.

I believe, with the same faith that we passed the highway bond bill in 1929 x. I think it safeguards the department's finances and as this is the last bridge in the state charging tolls in common, ordinary fairness we ought to remove them." Chief Highway Commissioner J. Stanlev Williamson said the commission took the position "that the legislature, the commission or whoever had the authority to act in 1947 could tell better than anyone else what should be done and that it could be done as well then as It could now." Williamson read the resolution declaring the commission was opposed to the proposal due to "un-certalntv" of the times. Solicitor R. McC.

Figg. of Charleston who appeared before the committee to explain provisions of the bill said he believed it would be "at least two years after March 1. 1947, even If the commission decided not to make that amortization payment xxx before they got into the state's money."
