billion state budget for 1984-85 that
will be funded by current sources of
revenue and will require no new taxes.
Still needing approval of the com-
mittee is a supplemental division of
the budget that would spend mote than
an additional $1 billion if legislators
Finally agree to a tax bill.
Members of the House Appropria-
tion Committee also worked Monday

After each house approves its ver-
sion of a spending bill, the final two-
year general appropriatons bill will be
written by a 10-member conference
committee from both houses.

committee falls just within the $29.1
billion that Comptroller Bob Bullock

from major state tax sources.

day as defense minister, ending a
wecklong crisis in El Salvador's

Use of factories increases
for fourth straight month
WASHINGTON (AP)—U.S. fac-
tory use rose for a fourth straight
month in March, hitting the highest
level since last summer, the govern-
ment reported Monday.
A separate report showed home con-
struction declining, but the March fig-
ures remained far above the level of
one year earlier.
Details of the two reports:
• The Federal Reserve Board said
factory use rose 0.7 percentage point
to 69.4 percent of capacity. The rise
was expected in light of last week's
report that the nation's industrial pro-
duction had risen 1.1 percent in March.
• The Commerce Department
reported that housing starts declined
1.61 million units in March, still 75.1
percent above the level of March 1982.
Senate bill passes to get
‘lemons' off of highway
AUSTIN (AP)—The Senate ap-
proved a bill Monday that would let
the Texas Motor Vehicle Commission
order new car dealers and manufac-
turers to replace "lemon" vehicles or
refund the purchase price.
Sen. J.E. "Buster" Brown's bill
was sent to the House on a 29-0 vote.
An amendment specified that the
customer also could collect the sales
tax, registration and other fees as-
sociated with buying the vehicle.
However, according to a printed bill
analysis, a "reasonable allowance lor
owner use" could be subtracted from
the refund. The standard for a "lem-
on” car would be one that was taken
to the shop four times without being
fixed or was out of service for 30 or
more business days.
