Alabama's Surplus Funding for Education Sparks Debate
Discussion on allocating a $34 million surplus from the war years to Alabama education. Dr E B Morice urges $16,008,000 for capital improvements and $9,600,000 for four-year operating needs, with a $5,850,000 annual teacher salary boost and $1,000,000 for vocational expansion. Norton proposes funding from surplus spread over four years and other revenue sources totaling $6,050,000, plus $8,000,000 for regional tuberculosis hospitals. Also notes a poll tax exemption for honorably discharged veterans and service members, effective Feb. 3, with reminders to avoid unnecessary payments.
