Control Highway Unit to Budget Committee.
The State Budget Committee today assumed control over 650 State-owned automobiles and ap-, plied the brakes to their use except | for extensive travel by State offi-| cials and employees in the course | of duty. Supervision of the cars, formerly held by the State Highway Department, was taken over by the committee following two days economy meetings. The order was the first step in| the Committee's program of finan- |
cial retrenchment to meet the twomillion dollar cut in the State's budget for the next two years.
