State department funding shifts under new approach
The text notes expends based on actual needs rather than a percentage of prior appropriations. Social Welfare is first at 17.5 million annually with 12 million for Old Age Assistance. The Board of Control oversees 14 institutions with 22,520,250 for annual operating expenses. Glenwood is near the top at 2,556,000. A subcommittee on Appropriations added 696,000 for capital improvements and 365,000 for a new employee building. Further appropriations are expected before adjourning. The Board of Regents seeks 57 or 58 million but may receive about 50 million plus 7–8 million for capital improvements.

A school insurance bill passes Senate, faces House, while a Dairy Bill to curb below cost milk sales dies after a back-and-forth over revisions. The piece highlights two-house dynamics and the balance of power between chambers.
