Soldiers' Bill Passes Senate in Florida Legislature
In Montgomery on September 17 the Senate completed action on the widows and veterans' appropriation bill after lively debate. The governor vetoed a $100,0000 addition, proposing $50,000 instead, which the House accepted but the Senate resisted. The final measure grants $50,000 annually for four years, dropping to $1,000 after two years if funds are available, funded by a one mill tax to bring the pension reserve to about $300,000.
