Senate Amends Veterans Bureau Bill Reduces Appropriation
In the 1945 Alabama legislative session the Senate concurred with a Senate amendment to a bill creating a legislative veterans bureau cutting the appropriation from 40000 to 25000 dollars. With two weeks left both chambers brace for a heavy schedule as calendars fill with unfinished business. Wage hour, tractor gasoline, and state insurance issues threaten quick action. A broader state insurance role may be revived to bond all state employees and projects, potentially including cities and counties. a compromise removes municipal participation.
