Milk Control Bill Planned By Governor
Governor Davey plans a milk control bill setting milk-shed areas to stabilize prices through a state milk board focused on butterfat content. Other measures include a five year re enactment of a 1 percent utility excise tax for a $2.5 million annual institutional building fund and relief loans for cities. A new London penitentiary site is proposed and local relief funding drafted at $7.5 million for 1938 with 50 50 city state matching. Critics warn the milk plan mostly serves large distributors and may not help small farmers.
