'Sound Basis'

In his message to the delegates,
Governor. Godwin said his proposals
for state spending will
guarantee "a sound basis" for
the Commonwealth to maintain
the momentum begun during the
last biennium.

A significant feature of the
Governor's budget is the proposal
to float a $70 million bond issue
to help finance higher education
in mental health. This is seen by
many as a first step toward a
constitutional change to allow
more state borrowing.
