Gore Recommends Direct Levy For Capitol

Governor Gore endorses a direct levy for the capitol with a five year plan to raise about 20 cents in the hundred and direct funds for the main building. Legislation is to be considered by the finance and public works committees as lawmakers await Wednesday afternoon receipts and committee time. The proposal, by W. S. Hallonan and EM Keatley, seeks to increase general levy temporarily to offset the new capitol levy and create a state capital fund. The governor also outlined a $5,000,000 cap on building authorization and possible redirect revenues to balance funds for construction.
