Work To Break Relief Deadlock In Columbus
In Columbus on June 22 the House leadership pushed to break the relief deadlock. The Senate reconvened to consider the Davey Welfare Building Program bill, which the Senate subcommittee trimmed from 15 million to 7.5 million dollars in state building funds. House Speaker Frank Reible planned a caucus vote on three options to yield to Senate demands or encourage a conference. The Senate Finance Subcommittee suggested further changes, including limiting state participation, requiring federal grants, and restricting the build program from starting without federal aid and prohibiting private land purchases by the three member state building authority.
