Excessive State Expenditures Cited From Twenty Ninth Assembly
A summary of the Twenty ninth General Assembly blames large spending on many boards and commissions such as waterways, optometry, moving picture censors, structural and stationary engineers, horse-shoers, mason work inspectors, pension and unemployment bodies, centennial and home finding commissions, the hoof and mouth disease panel, building laws commission, and even a white slave commission. It notes numerous small allocations, mentions a $250 reimbursement to a game and fish attaché for a motor boat loss, and criticizes laws affecting the blind, deaf, and dumb who solicit alms. The piece questions how many commissions could be dispensed with and the impact of gubernatorial vetoes on public funds.
