State fund spending limit clashes with Constitution
State Comptroller John Graves pursued a suit to determine the status of a fund controversy. Judge Jones ruled that the 1947 general appropriation bill fixed at 3,500 annually violates constitutional sections. The judge said abuses should be addressed by lexicography, not court action. Gov. James E Folsom used a pocket veto on a clerk hire fund cap of 300, but utilized funds for staff and investigators, with projected spending of 150,000 this year.
