Revenue in State Hits New High
Revenue receipts in Minnesota for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1951, reached a new high of 273.8 million dollars, up 10.7 percent from 1950 due to higher iron ore prices, larger net incomes, and increased business activity across the state. The surplus enabled the 1951 legislature to hike appropriations by nearly 56 million for the current biennium. Inflation and tax changes are noted, with a 25 million increase in 1949 to retire soldier bonds and balance the budget.
