No. 22
(Senate Joint Resolution 5)

Joint Resolution urging that the State of Maryland act as quickly as

operated and supported by the State in order to observe the character
and type of capital construction and to gauge the results which the
State has been obtaining in its continuous program of improving and
adding to the capital assets of the State; and

Whereas, This sub-committee discovered some instances in which
in its opinion the State has expended more money than necessary in
the construction of its capital facilities and has provided luxuries
and "frills" unnecessary in buildings being constructed with public
funds; and

Whereas, In the opinion of the Committee on Taxation and Fiscal
Matters it would be helpful in avoiding future expenditures of this
type if the State's construction program were financed at least in
part on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, avoiding to that extent the tempta-
tion to over-expend public monies; and

Whereas, Any development of this kind also would mean a saving
in the interest payments which must subsequently be provided to
service borrowed money; and

Whereas, Over a period of years, the cumulative effect of such a
policy could be successful in allowing the State to operate its capital
