Louderback Warns Against Appropriation Increases
Richmond Va January 29 Delegate C C Louderback head of the House Appropriations Committee warns lawmakers that backing higher appropriations than budget estimates means new taxes. He notes general fund revenues for the last fiscal year roughly match proposed second year appropriations. The House defers the Crocket liquor rationing bill again and postpones the Spiers proposal to shift half million dollars to localities from liquor profits. The Senate considers raising unemployment benefits from 15 to 20 dollars and weeks from 16 to 20. A public hearing Friday will address the Long Stuart bill taxing wines in state liquor stores.
