Mills outlines revised plan to balance budget
Ogden L Mills and Treasury associates presented to the Senate Finance Committee a plan to raise about 1.033 billion dollars by trimming active taxes and adjusting excises.

Budget cuts are urged with potential savings of 200 million dollars, while other tax targets include tobacco checks drafts and domestic gasoline.
