Deficit Threat Faces West Virginia Revenue Shortfall
Charleston dispatch reports that West Virginia must find new revenue or raise taxes to cover a projected deficit for the 1913 1914 biennium. Auditor Darst cites a dwindling treasury balance, shrinking license tax revenue, and costs from the Cybin creek strike, with total expenditures ballooning beyond receipts. The piece notes rising fees to state offices, insurance department efforts, and a proposed Blue Sky law to curb false stock sales.
