Last week’s meeting was held in
the offices of the Texas Education
the Texas Water Commission to
speed up water planning to seek
alternatives to the Bureau of Rec-
lamation’s forthcoming proposal.
But the commission is strapped by
the bounds of a budget inadequate
for such a study, unless the 1965
Legislature increases its funds.
500,000,000, compared with $1,400,-
000,000 the previous year.
General economic growth of the
State; the federal income tax re-
duction designed to prime spend-
ing; and removal of the $10 cloth-
ing exemption from the State sales
tax were seen as largely respon-
sible for the bigger yield from that
levy.

more and more in Texas where
half of the State’s water supply is
entered in the eastern one-seventh
of the State.
It will be the topic of three
speakers at the Association of
Western State Engineers in Austin
on Sept. 21.
Speakers are Frank Rabb of
Oklahoma, David Hale of New
Mexico and William Warne of Cal-
ifornia. All three are water offi-
cials in states which have turned
to, inter-basin diversions to solve
some water problems.
Some moving already has taken
place in Texas. In the Trinity
watershed, for instance, Dallas is
completing a pipeline and treat-
ment plant for moving Sabine Riv-
er water from Lake Tawakoni to
Dallas. Also Houston has signed
a contract with the Trinity River

Jack H. Drake of Weslaco told

rate has risen 40 per cent this year

on the access roads adjacent to the
expressway route.

State government ended its 1963-
1964 fiscal year on August 31 with
a fat general revenue fund balance
of $73,000,000.
It was the brightest year-end
figure since 1949.
“It looks better than it has for a
long time,” beamed State Comp-
troller Robert S. Calvert. Five
years of deficits still are fresh in
his memory. One year the State
ran $110,000,000 in the red.
Calvert declined to speculate on
the amount of surplus which will be
available for legislative appropria-j
tion.
Governor Connally predicted ear-
lier that the general revenue sur-
plus may reach $80,000,000 next
year. Despite the abundance of

• Highway Hurry-Ups Asked . . .
Citizens from San Antonio, Cor-
pus Christi and the counties which
connect them asked the State High-
way Commission to “hurryup” and
schedule work on a proposed Inter-
state Highway between the two
I cities so that construction will be
I completed by 1968.
That is the year when San An-
tonio will produce the HemisFair;
Padre Island National Seashore
will be in full-scale operation and
Mexico City will host the World
Olympics. Nueces County Judge
Noah Kennedy Jr. said, “We would
just like to be in a position to swap
tourists with the city of San An-
tonio.”
“Hurry-up” urgings also were
heard from Valley leaders who
pleaded with the Highway Commis-
sion to hasten construction of the
Valley Expressway (US 83) be-
the Sabine and Neches basins, He started the sessions last Oc-
money, the Governor said the Leg-
islature likely will have to pass a
new7 tax bill or amend the existing
rates in 1965. This because of de-
mands for more spending in educa-
tion and other areas.
Calvert noted three factors in
the favorable fiscal 1964 close-out:
a $24,000,000 increase this year
over 1963 in general sales tax rev-
enues; an $8,000,000 jump in the
auto sales tax; and a $3,000,000
crude oil tax increase.
The comptroller’s report showed
State revenue collections during
1964 were more than $1,600,000,000,
compared with $1,500,000,000 in
1963. Expenditures totaled $1,-

Board said it found nothing in
the hearing to charge its mind. It
reported that abuses of Texas
laws, prohibiting inducements to
prospective policyholders and pro-
hibiting discrimination between
policyholders, were taking place
under deferred payment plans.
“Net costs of handling premium
payments financed by insurance
companies at cut-rate interest, or
no interest, will ultimately be paid
by all insureds,” said Board Chair-
man Hunter McLean. “Those
electing deferred payment plans
Should bear such costs. . .”
A spokesman for one company
charged that criticism of ruling by
the National Association of Inde-
pendent Insurers laid the ground-
work for “an attack on the Texas
rating system and policy control.”
