Baton Rouge lawmakers push through several budget changes in the general appropriations bill on the seventh day of debate. The House rejected a 2.6 million cut to the Highway Department emergency fund and blocked a 700 thousand addition to Pinecrest State School while deleting 300 thousand from Hammond State School. Representatives argued over emergency funds and road repairs tied to bridges in Monroe and Natchitoches, with W. T. Taylor explaining the fund’s role and Rep. Richard Baker urging limits. The panel also added 10 thousand to the Human Relations budget and knocked down a Tulane medical school residency clause.
