Constitutional Convention |
By Rep. Emmett H. Whitehead
THE C HKHOKKKAN OF RUSK. TEXAS, THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1974, PACE THREE
AUSTIN-The Finance Com-
mittee of the Constitutional
Convention, on which I serve,
has wrapped up its public
hearings on Article VIII of the
Constitution and begun taking
votes.
We hope to have the Article
ready to come out of com-
mittee for presentation to the
full Convention in the near
future.
The most important and
hotly-debated issue considered
by the committee was the
Highway-User Revenue alloca-
tion. three-fourths of which
now goes into the State
Highway Fund and one-fourth
into the Available School Fund.
I was very pleased that the
committee saw fit to leave
these allocations as they are.
Texas has developed an
exceptional highway system
under this allocation and we
need to protect our roads for
future generations.

showed that 76.1 percent of our
people wanted these funds to
remain earmarked for high-
way construction and main-
tenance.
Some time was lost in our
Convention schedule this week
when the Rights and Suffrages
Article, which was supposed to
come up for Convention
debate, was found to have been
changed during drafting by an
employee of the Style and
Drafting Committee. This
caused a postponement while
corrections were made.
1 was delighted that my
colleagues on the Finance
Committee voted unofficially
early this week 18-2 in favor of
Proposal 213 which 1 intro-
duced to allow non-profit water
supply corporations to be
exempted b\ the Legislature
from ad valorem taxation.
This is a fine action on behalf
of our rural water systems
because, unlike those in the
cities, they do not have the
power of taxation to help
defray costs.
The added burden of ad
volorein taxes, from which
public city-owned water
systems are already exempt,
requires the rural corporations
to pass on even greater costs to
their customers.
The result has been sub
stantially higher water rates in
the rural areas and I believe
this proposal will help provide
better water service-a neces-
sary utility—in the rural areas
of our state.
I was happy to have the
opportunity to author this
proposal and present it to the
Finance Committee.
