Panel Weighs Budget Slash of 1 Million Dollars
The State Senate Finance Committee may cut as much as 1 million from the 1956 57 budget bill proposed by the Board of Public Works. The panel halted at the halfway mark and hopes to report by Feb 1. A subcommittee will study special revenue accounts that could be moved to general revenue, potentially freeing about 2 133 267 from 15 agencies though actual annual capture remains uncertain.
