State plans $20 million revolving fund for boys and industrial schools
A plan seeks legislative approval for up to 20 million in a revolving capital improvement fund controlled by the State Board of Public Works. About 9.9 million would upgrade facilities for boys at Prunty town and the Industrial School, with 201 million for public institutions overall. Revenues would come from patient fees, county support, and annual public institution funds, with rates adjusted to avoid drawing from general revenue. The proposal mirrors existing college bond practice and aims to modernize mental health facilities over 30 years, aided by a dedicated amortization charge.
