Maryland budget shifts with fiscal year realignment
Maryland plans a July 1 start for the new fiscal year aligning with the Federal year. O’Conor forecasts a near term surplus of 1.56 million despite a 2.5 million bonus deduction for state employees and teachers. A 2 million reserve for postwar capital, 1.38 million to the annuity bond fund, and an operating fund of 2 million are to be covered from the surplus. The plan also funds a salary bonuses program and salary standards, while denying 169 new policemen and facing motor vehicle revenue cuts. University funding remains a focus as maintenance funds rely on the state’s special appropriations.

State funds show mixed gains amid war time budgets
Governor notes a $3.857 million budget for the university versus $3.816 million in the prior biennium, aided by student and hospital fees and federal and miscellaneous receipts. State Roads reports projected revenue declines of 42 percent in 1944 and 37 percent in 1945, with operating funds dropping from $14.81 million last year to $663,435 in 1944 and $8.42 million in 1945. Emergency funds exist for continued war needs, but construction funds may be spent if war ends while emergency funds may stay unused.
