Michigan Mirror summarizes state finance and tourism trends
Michigan faces a tight budget with a potential special session if funds run dry after January. May receipts show a polio foundation surge of 334000 to aid exhausted local chapters. Tourism remains the state’s second largest industry while agriculture claims similar rank. Delegates returned from Mackinac Island’s moral rearmament conference and MSU pleads for donations to the Notre Dame game fund. Deer losses set a historic high, park attendance rises, and a St. Lawrence Seaway push gains momentum. Fertility of the class of 1941 is highlighted by the Population Reference Bureau.
