General Assembly Nears End of Lengthy Session
The General Assembly set to adjourn after a lengthy session as the Senate increased appropriations by 21 million and restored 8 million of the House cuts. A 12.912 million raise funds a 10 percent raise for 40,000 state employees, and a grant to the Revenue Department rises from 8.9 to 10 million for tax collection. Amendments to add water bills and religious articles to exemptions await approval. Both chambers push a plan for a statewide constitutional convention in 1955 to consider reform.
