State government cost-cutting plan could save 10 million
A 1933 committee of inquiry proposes abolishing the securities commission and trimming state agencies. The plan aims to slash more than 10 million from the biennial budget, curb high salaried posts, and return control of appropriations to the legislature. If adopted, education duties would tighten, apiary and pest inspections halted, and several bureaus merged or dropped to achieve the savings.
