Legislature Slashes State Eleemosynary Funds
The Forty-seventh legislature reduced eleemosynary appropriations by $925,199 from the current biennium and did not approve new hospital and orphanage buildings. A compromise between house and senate produced the new act, with salary raises and cost allowances for low paid and supply costs. Key issues remain the six major appropriation bills and road bond renewal, while liquor control debates drew sharp reactions to budget cuts and reforms.
