South Dakota Expenditures Drop $4.1 Million in 1938-39
Pierre reports state expenditures for the fiscal year ended last June totalled 25.565 million, down 4.1 million from the prior year as income fell nearly 2 million largely due to reduced federal grants. Educational institutions spent 2.041 million, highway outlays reached 6.0 million, and funds to counties declined by 183 thousand. The report by Auditor W. W. Warner shows various department and program shifts, including a rise in construction costs and a large share of the budget going to highways and social services.
