Hughes veto trims New York appropriation totals
Albany June 19. Gov. Hughes vetoed numerous finance items and cut last session appropriations by nearly five million dollars, reducing total current-year appropriations to about 39.6 million from 46.97 million. He cites higher state maintenance costs and fund restructurings, with $34 million projected revenue for the next year and a potential deficit over five million unless new revenues from inheritance taxes and auto license fees offset the gap. He disapproved many local and state department items and rejected large blocks for agricultural schools, hospitals, shore up projects, and public works, while noting possible extraordinary-session action.
