Demo Controlled Board Trims WV Budget in Small Way
Charleston reports the Democrat controlled Board of Public Works trimmed the 1958 59 general revenue budget by 109000 from the administration’s recommendations. Gov. Underwood’s finance chief, George B Viewer Jr, said total general revenue appropriations would be 105321000 for 1958 59, up from current year 103167000. The board aims to steer savings to mental health and education while maintaining current figures elsewhere. The penitentiary budget rises to 1128600 for 1958 59 with 12 more guards and higher pay, though Viewer had proposed 1172280. Multiple institutions and hospitals receive revised appropriations within the same report.
