Colson Farm-To-Market Road Bill Passes
Committee; Money Available For Repairs
Jacksboro, Texas, Gazette-News
By Vem Sanford
Texas Press Association
AUSTIN, Tex. — A highway
policy matter which has plagued
both Houses of the Legislature
for 10 years was settled when
the House of Representatives
passed a Farm-to-Market road
bill introduced by Sen. Neveille
Colson of Navasota and Rep.
Grainger Mcllhany of Wheeler.
Senate already had approved
the bill by a 26-2 vote.
At first, it looked like the
House Agriculture Subcommit-
tee, dominated by rural repre-
sentatives, would succeed in
pushing through a modified ver-
sion of the bill by Rep. Max
Carriker of Roby. His proposal
was to space out the switch of
funds from farm-to-market road
construction to maintenance
over 10 years.
House Agriculture Committee
approved Carriker’s bill unani-
mously until Gov. Price Daniel
attended a final hearing with
President J. H. West of the Tex-
as Farm Bureau, Executive Vice
President Callan Graham of the
Texas Good Roads Association,
Highway Chairman Herb Petry
Jr. and a dozen members of the
County Judges and Commission-
ers Association.
After their urging, the House
Agriculture Committee reversed
its original decision and voted
10-9 to table the Carriker ver-
sion and submit the Colson bill,
which reduces the annual appro-
priation for rural road construc-
tion by about $17,500,000.
When the Farm-to-Market
road bill becomes effective about
May 1, it will make these pro-
visions:
1. Restoration of the $15,000,-
000 appropriation from general
State taxes to the Colson- Bris-
coe farm-to-market road pro-
gram for the year starting Sept.
1, 1962.
2. A flat instruction for the
State Highway Department to
build $23,000,000 worth of new-
ly - designated farm-to-market
roads a year from now, using
the $15,000,000, plus Federal aid
of $10,000,000 a year.
3. Allocation of half the surp-
lus in the road bond assump-
tion fund — which comes from
one fourth of the gasoline sales
tax — to maintenance of farm-
to-market roads in the State
system. That will be $17,500,000
the first year . . . gradually in-
creasing as gasoline sales tax
revenues rise.
4. Freeing an equal $17,500,-
000 in the State Highway Fund,
now being used for rural road
maintenance, for construction
and improvement of secondary
and primary highways.
5. Application of the balance
in the farm-to-market road fund
(between $17,500,000 and $20,-
000,000 in the 1962-63 fiscal
year) toward improvement of
existing F-M roads, which need
some 11,000 miles of repairs.
6. Agreement by the State
Highway Commission to raise
its goal from 35,000 to 50,000
miles of farm-to-market roads.
This legislation accomplishes
the long-time goal of the High-
way Commission and Good
Roads Association: To give an-
nual construction boosts —
starting at $17,500,000 a year
— to the highways in the State
system above the F-M classifi-
catoin and below the Interstate
classification.
Where’s The Money
Coming From?
Gov. Price Daniel’s proposals
that the 57th Legislature ap-
prove appropriations of $300,000
for tourist advertising, $100,000
expansion in the juvenile parole
system and $150,000 for repair
to the San Jacinto Monument
seemed to be, in danger when
Rep. James M. Cotten of Wea-
therford got the House to en-
dorse appropriation of $220,000
for special session expenses.
According to the State Comp-
troller’s estimate, this would
leave less than $300,000 for the
die’s statement as “arrogant,”
and vowed he'll defend the case
as his constitutional duty.
Integration suit was filed in
November by three Negro stu-
dents at the University. They
asked that racial segregation in
university dormitories be abol-
ished with “all deliberate speed.”
Local Problems Pressing
Several legislators who voted
to adjourn the second day of the
special session have decided to
stick around awhile since the
governor opened the session for
local bills.
Bills considered most pressing
include water bills — such as
one to create an Alice Water
Authority, one to authorize con-
struction of a water treatment
plant for Lubbock and six other
communities which participate
in the Canadian Municipal River
Water Authority.
Sen. Andy Rogers of Childress
presented a bill to allow pur-
chasers of gas for irrigation
from utility companies right to
seek rate regulatoin from the
Roalroad Sommission, as cities
do. Rogers said companies sell-
ing irrigation gas often charge
farmers a higher rate than set
in nearby towns.
