Mileage Costs Mount Rapidly Under The Law
Montgomery Alabama July 29. Governor James E Folsom could trigger massive mileage costs by calling lawmakers back daily for sessions. Each session costs about 3200 mileage plus 2800 in other expenses, with opening day totaling around 6000 dollars. If sessions continue daily, costs escalate, while many lawmakers live far from Montgomery and may still receive mileage. The legislature has only 2000 dollars left in the 1949 fund, forcing reliance on the general treasury and possible supplemental appropriations.
