Half Million Is Lopped Off House Budget
The Senate Appropriations Committee trimmed more than half a million from the 1943 44 state hospital budget while approving a total program $9 000 000 above the last two years. Salaries and operating costs absorbed most of the increase as lawmakers kept most House spending plans intact. The panel raised the overall Senate budget by 63 900 to 9 000 000, about 188 000 more than 1941 42. State Auditor Forrest Smith received a 75 000 boost for sales tax collection, while Roy McKitrick faced cuts totaling 50 000 from his House approved allotment. Secretary Dwight Broom saw a 42 000 increase, still under prior biennium levels. Hospital allocations and numbers for institutions are listed, with figures varying from 1 248 995 to 1 256 000, reflecting shifts since 1941 42. The governor’s appropriation was adjusted downward by 18 000, while a 50 000 Senate recommended figure exceeded the past two years by 6 000. A ghost of Gov Bonnell’s sales tax plan resurfaced as a re enacted 10 year old levy, proposing permanent two per cent tax renewal, but the plan stalled in the House. The Tax Consolidation program’s fate remained unresolved as key bills were defeated by the Senate Retrenchment Committee. (Continued on page 6).
