BIENNIAL BUDGET
FOR STATE HITS
ALL-TIME HIGH

A biennial budget hitting an all
time high of $112,733, $50, yet incor-
porating plans for continued manda-
tory reduction Of income taxes and
further cut of real estate taxes. was
presented to the General Assembly by
Governor O'Conor last Friday.
Real Estate Tax Cut
Reduction Of the real estate tax
rate from twelve to eleven cents per
500 of valuation was proposed for
the full 1946-47 fiscal period, but the
projected income tax reduction at the
rate of 33 % percent below the statu-
tory maximum was limited to 1916.
The governor reserved Judgment on
possibilities Of reducing it similarly
for the l947 fiscal year, saying "be-
cause of the unsettled state of world
affairs, venture no prediction as to
what the income tax rate should be,
payable after January /, 1947, on
1916 incomes"
The statutory income tax rate is
two percent on earned income and
five percent on uncarncd income, such
as from investments. The 1913 Gencr-
al Assembly, however, passed bill
making it mandatory for the board
of public works to cut the rates by
one third for the 1944-45 fiscal years.
Boosts General Fund
Requested general fund approplia-
tons were boosted from the $780,
1865 given in 1944-45 to $57,S51,-
$500 for l946-47.
The greatest increase, however, was
in special funds, where the figures
bounced from $4S,191 sos last time to
S54,S81,765 for the next biennium.
The greatest part of this increment
was specified by the governor as
needed by the State Department of
Education, state hospitals, and pub
lie health services.
Increases included: Public schools,
$2,113,112; mental disease hospitals,
$906,383; University of Maryland,
713,7S7; tuberculosis sanitoria, $3.50
$50, and other state teachers colleges,
$27S,311.
The governor said he had pared
State department requests by S.
105, 463 in the budget. Requests by the
State department Of education, iudici-
AIRY system and general assembly are
out of the governors hands, however,
and can be acted on only by the Gen
cral Assembly.
Big Construction Program
The governor listed a $l2,00000
postwar state construction program
in addition to SCI 100000 in such
projects in the state roads commits
sion
The latter work, he said, would be
paid from motor vehicle revenues,
while the former would be financed
from three sources:
Transfer from state surplus (Which
now is about $9O0O,O00), of $4,000
600.
Use of balance in postwar con-
struction fund, which is $1,725,OO0.
Issuance Of new bonds aggrcgating
S5,075,000.

 It's quite a wrench, leaving; but the memories are good. I think of many, many things-but mostly friends and such.
