State Budget Hearings Wrap Up In Topeka
Gov George Docking finished hearings on the 1959 state budget with social welfare as the last major item. Welfare asks 39,327,795 for 1959, compared with 87,716,197 this year and a 38,173,972 1959 recommendation. About 15 million dollars in state funds are involved, the rest federal. Budget director James Bibb says the cut means a tighter budget not a reduced program. Potential July checks delay due to 857,000 left by year end. Welfare official L S McEachron notes agreement on estimates but tight finances.
