Plans To Offset
Revenue Losses
Governor Seeks To Effect
Savings In State

Faced with a loss Of more than
$2,0OO,OO0 in State revenues by the
unexpected ban on manufacture OF
automobiles and drastic tire ration
ing which will be reflected In gaso-
line tax receipts, Governor O'Conor
is determined to Offset the deficit, II
possible, by savings in State expen-
ditures.
Walter N. Kirkman, director OF
the budget and procurement, has
started a review of ALLEGATIONS to
departments, institutions, boards,
commissions and other State agen-
cies to lay a foundation for TWEEN
ty-five per cent pruning.
The State has no authority to cut
the budgets of the judiciary, allo-
cations for support Of the public
debt or funds earmarked for county
and Baltimore city's public schools.
All other funds may be reduced
twenty-five per cent.
However, it is realized that State
hospitals, training schools and PEN
al institutions must be given par
ticular attention in any reduction
program, since the increased cost OF
their management and maintenance
will not permit much pruning, II
any, of their budgets.
Governor O'Conor emphasized
that new law passed at the last
session Of the General Assembly
authorized the Board of Public
Works to impound up to twenty-five
per cent of allotments to different
departments in the State budget.
Therefore, the Governor issued an
urgent appeal to the fiscal officers
Of the State to scrutinize closely
their administrative costs In an
effort to cut down appreciably the
expenditure of State funds.
He pointed out that by giving
oficial approval Of the statute pro-
viding for the refusing this years
automobile tags during the next
year, the saving for 1943 and sue
ceeding years would be approx
mately ninety per cent Of the
$1,000 which is the annual cost OF
the plates.
