RANGE FIRES ARE

The greatest hazard to

dry summer months and into
the fall and winter is fire.

measure.
House would require at least
$286 million in new revenue.
Senate about $328 million.
Neither figure included the $30
million in additional public
welfare spending proposed in
the constitutional amendment
on the August 5 ballot.
Speaker Gus Mutscher in-
dicated he hoped for House
agreement by the end of the
second week on a tax bill to
cover the budget which he said
would be close to that recom-
mended by the governor.
But such a bill stands little
chance in the Senate, at least in
the near future.
Gas Rates
Texas Railroad Commission
has taken under advisement a
request of Lone Star Gas
(Company for a raise in gas rates
sold to local systems in 512
Texas cities.
Representatives of the cities
were at the hearing to oppose
the proposed 9.4 cents per
thousand cubic feet of gas raise.
Richard Aughenbaugh, Fort
Worth city public utilities
supervisor, said the cities felt
that an increase of no more than
2.77 ct nts to six cents would be
in order, preferably 3.44 cents.
A decision will be reached by
the commission sometime after
a minimum waiting period of 30
days.
Hunting, Fishing Licenses Out
Two million licenses for 1969-
70 hunting, fishing seasons will
be shipped to 3,200 license sales
agents by the Texas Parks and
Wildlife Department on August
10.
Initial shipment will contain
730,000 resident hunting licenses
and 900,000 fishing licenses with
total face value of $4.4 million.
There will be 23 types of licenses
in shipment Fish farm, fish
farm vehicle and salt water
trotline licenses were added by
the legislature this year.
Short Snorts
Attorney General Martin says
a coin machine occupation tax
increase authorized by the
legislature this year applies to
anyone who operates a vending
machine in the hope of making a
profit or operates it to draw
business.
Sen. Oscar Mauzy of Dallas
has filed a legislative reap-
portionment suit based on the
ruling ol a federal court in In-
dianapolis.
August 16 is the deadline for
refund claims for overcharges
on broad spectrum antibiotics
bought during 1954-1966,
reminds Attorney General
Martin.
Dr. James E. Peavy, Texas
Health Commissioner, warns
that lindane vaporizers used
around food may be detrimental
to health.
In a press conference Bard
Logan announced that the
American Party has asked
Dallas broadcaster Dan Smoot
to be its 1970 candidate for the
U. S. Senate.

Austin, Tex.- Legislators hit
the ground running in their
unwanted special session on
finance.
Gov. Preston Smith was
ready for them on opening day
(July 28) with tax recom-
mendations which included a
one half per cent boost ito 3.5
per cent) in the sales tax. He
also suggested raising the car
sales tax to 3.5 per cent, raising
the cigarette tax three cents a
pack and the corporation
franchise tax fifty cents per
$1,000 - to $3.251 on a temporary,
two-year basis.
By the end of the first week,
both houses had passed ap-
propriations bills, and by start
of the second, a ten-member
Ho use-Senate conference
committee was busy trying to
work out differences.
Senate recommended more
than $100 million more in
spending than the House ver-
sion. House members thought
$5,749 billion for the biennium
was plenty, but senators figured
$5,852 billion was needed.
General revenue amounts to
$1,188 billion in the House bill,
