Milk Board Seeks Sixty-One Million For Next Year
The Milk Marketing Board in Harrisburg asks the legislature for sixty-one million dollars for the next fiscal year. A panel urged abolition of the board, with some duties shifted to the Agriculture Department, while Shapp administration contemplates stripping the board of its power to set minimum milk prices. Legislation may exempt public institutions from the price floor, saving schools about forty-four million annually. The move faces opposition from milk dealers and home-delivery milkmen worried about job losses. The plan would limit the board to auditing dairy finances and testing butterfat, with other price controls and jugger rules under review. The board seeks six hundred ninety thousand dollars from the House Appropriations committee plus current income and surpluses to fund operations. Also noted are other state budget hearings and a crash in New Delhi where over 400 were injured in a head-on train collision near Parsatipur.
