Prairie State seeks 250000 loan to fund state expenses
Governor Tanner will urge the legislature to authorize borrowing 250000 to cover current state costs, the largest amount the state may borrow without a public vote. Treasury shortages threaten funds for the legislature and state institutions, with April to June receipts insufficient to cover unpaid bills. In 1898 the budget likely rises to about 8 million, and treasury balances by July may total around 2 million against obligations double that. Michigan junket battle over a state institutions visit blocks adjournment as the fight continues.
