AUSTIN - While the 1973
egislature managed to avoid a
lax bill, outlook for 1975 is
f'bleak," with new revenue
leeds ranging up to $700
lillion, according to Texas
earch League.
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby earlier
came up with a similar gloomy
timate of a $533 million tax
jit during the next regular
Native session, but Gov.
Dh Briscoe declined to
cording to Texas Research
Kue, state spending from
funds is expected to in-
ise by $550 million in 1976-77,
the increase could run as
i as $850 million to $1 billion.
Revenues, meanwhile, are
due to rise $550 million to $625
million over the present bien-
nium.
However, TRL cautions these
factors must also be con-
sidered:
Federal revenue sharing
funds (which accounted for $316
million of 1974-75 income) will
drop by at least $100 million,
because Texas received a three-
year allocation to spend in a
two-year period for the current
budget.
An estimated $156 million
surplus at the beginning of the
next biennium will decrease
from $75 million-to-$lC0 million
depending on bills signed by

Governor Briscoe.
"With the highest projected
spending increase (91.050
billion), the 1975 Legislature
apparently would find Itself
faced with the need to find 9800
to 9700 million in additional
biennial revenues," said a new
TRL report. "Even (an 9850
million spending hike), means
projecting a biennial revenue
need of $4004500 million."
If the next legislature decides
to overhaul school finance
formulas, a biennial cost in-
crease of perhaps another 9500
million can be anticipated, TRL
concluded.
Briscoe., at the nations?
governors conference in
Nevada, refused to be
pessimistic and promised
budgeting innovations and other
economy moves which he feels
can check a tax boost.
DIM VIEW OF CON-
STITUTION CHANGE —
County officials are getting
together to fight any con-
stitutional change which would
drastically alter county
government, according to
Judge Robert W. Calvert,
chairman of the Texas Con-
stitutional Revision Com-
mieoinn^
Following hearings in Corpus
Christ!, Calvert said he sees "an
incipient opposition to any
suggested changes in codnty
government."
He cited three letters from
county officials expressing a
dim view towiud tampering
with their jobs. Calvert said the
Commission is committed to no
course on the subject.
The 37-member body is
concluding its hearings over the
state and will make recom-
mendations to the legislature
next November. Lawmakers
will sit as a constitutional
convention next year. Calvert
urged legislators to attend the
hearings in eight cities this
month. Committees will begin
drafts on conclusion of the
public discussions.
The remainder of the con-
stitutional hearings are set as
follows: Friday, June 15,
Beaumont, Orange and Port
Arthur; Thursday, June 21,
Abilene; Friday, June 22,
Wichita Falls; Thursday, June
28, Waco; and Friday, June 29,
Austin.
AG OPINIONS - County
commissioners can spend
county funds ta provide for
parting and a service building
for county-owned vehicles and
parking for the public having
business in the courthouse,
Atty. Gen. John Hill held.
In other recent opinions, Hill
concluded:
In an election contest, on
notice of appeal, district clerks
should prepare a trascript
and forward it to the court of
civil appeals clerk before
delivering it to attorneys for the
appellant.
The Board of Chiropractic
Examiners can adopt rules
limiting the size of newspaper
advertisements by
chiropractors.
County clerks are not
authorized to set filing fees for
discovery proceedings if an
action is still pending on the
docket at the time the
proceedings are instituted. If no
action is pending, clerks are
entitled to a fee sf $3 for each
instrument issued but not for
filing instruments prepared by
others.

Is someone
taking you for
a ride
Without realizing it, the
Eosition of many anti-
ighway groups is anti-safety.
Unwittingly, they sacrifice
lives by blocking the upgrad-
ing of obsolete roads and
highways in the name of
"conservation". (They're
overlooking all the trees,
shrubbery and grass planted
as part of road upgrading in
recent years.)
As for safety, it makes
little difference where you
live. If you use roads and
highways, they need to be
engineered to modern safety
standards. Cost? About 30
cents per motorist per day.
Less tnan a pack of cigarettes
... for planning, safety
design, construction and
modernization.
"America's roads
and highways are
still substandard.
Built as far back
as the 1930's and
earlier, they're inadequate
for today's faster, heavier
traffic. For safety's sake, the
immediate straightening of
sharp curves, widening of
narrow lanes and reduction
of steep grades is a must.
Remember: America's
roads and highways are a
vital part of the total trans-
portation system serving you.
To help them serve you
better, tell your local and
state officials how you feel.
