Thrift Shown In Treasury Supply Bill
The House appropriations committee sent the treasury and post office bill for fiscal 1932 totaling 1,083,553,943 dollars, a trim of about 97 million from current outlays and 20 million below budget. Reductions chiefly come from tax refunds, while public building construction rises. city police funding ends with prohibition shifts. The industrial alcohol and narcotics bureaus gain funds, replacing the former prohibition bureau. Postal funding rises modestly but remains under budget, with large earmarks for domestic airmail and foreign mail transport. Permanent outlays grow slightly as the sinking fund and debt charges adjust, with notable increases for foreign obligations and drawback bounties.
