Austin. — Governor John Con-
nally soon will be making his de-
cisions on state spending and tax
recommendations.
His budget staff is rushing to
completion a tentative budget ami
revenue bill for presentation to the
governor by the end of the month.
Word is that the revenue meas-
ure, contrary to early speculation,
does not call for any upward re-
vision in the state’s basic two per
cent general sales tax rate. It may
include a gasoline tax increase,
college tuition boost and adding al-
coholic bexerages to the sales tax.
Money requests from depart-
ments and agencies, totaling $1,-
200,000.000, are being trimmed con-
siderably. Best estimates indicate
the tentative budget presented for
Connally’s review will require less
than $200,000,000 in new money.
Governor’s proposals definitely
will contain some form of financial
relief for cities, but not the 50-50
split in new state revenues they
are asking.
Connally’s spending programs
may be restrained by these factors:
Possibility of a substantial fed-
eral tax raise next year and the
chance of future sharing of ,-ur-
plus L’. S. income with state gov-
ernments on an unrestricted grant
basis.
• A public school study by the
governor’s committee a!mo.-t cer-
tainly. will call for readjustments
in the cost load of the educational
system, and final recommenda-
tions will not be known for two
years.
• A metropolitan areas st tdv
conceivably could result ill pro-
posals for sweeping alterations in
I oral government finance proced-
ures.
5\ Hi ll AMENDMENT —Gov-
ernor Conrially has launched a
campaign for adoption of Consti-
tutional Amendment No. 11.
Amendment would do three
things: double the Texas Water
Development Fund (from $2ft0,-
000,000 to $1(10,000.000); give a
constitutional guarantee to safe-
guarding water in river basin = of
origin; and permit use of the Fund
for construction by the Texas Wat-
er Development Board of water
treatment and transportation fa-
cilities.
About 150 leaders of state and ,
local water governing agencies \
and other interested citizens at-
tended the meeting and elected
former Gov. Price Daniel of Lib- i
erty chairman of a steering com- ^
mittce to seek voter approval of
the Proposition.
On another front, the Water
Development Board announced
that it will ask for an emergency
appropriation of $62.5,000 from the
Legislature to complete the water
planning work to bring the Texas
Water Plan to completion in about i
six months.
ATTORNEY GEN. SPEAKS —
84/ Vmr*
A tty. Gen. Waggoner Carr with-
drew his opinion that cable tv ser-
vice.- are public utilities. Hut he
reiterated his ruling that such
firms have the right to place ta-
bles along state highways within
the highway right-of-way.
In another opinion, Carr -aid the
Secretary of State cannot approve
a statement of intent to dissolve
a corporation listing less than
three directors, since to be a cor-
poration it must have at least
three directors.
COURT SPEAKS — State Su-
1 preme Court ordered Land Com-
missioner Jerry Sadler to file the
sulphur claims of Duval Corpora-
tion and Piper Petroleum Com-
pany in Pecos County. Sadler had
refused, claiming old laws relied
on by the firms are no longer ap-
plicable. and the companies are
trying to get $2,000 an aero min-
eral rights for 50 cents.
In other action during the week,
high court:
• Affirmed $304,800 in penal-
ties against four East Texas oil-
men (Gregg County) for slant-
well drilling in Wood County.
• Agreed with Railroad Com-
missinn that new truck st rviee be,
twei n Houston and San Antonio
by Alamo Express, Inc., i* ju.-ti
fied.
ANIMAL INFESTATIONS -
Textis i- pulling out of its serious
soiewworm epidemic. Rut now a
big outbreak of Encephalomyelitis
(sleeping sicknes.,» among horse •
seems to be taking hold.
Some ID case- wet o lepovlel to
the State Health Department rev-
ering a two-week period. But
spi kesnian said it likely will vet
wor.-e before it get- bettri .
Cases were from Travis, Krath
Cherokee, Angelina and Washing-
ton Counties. Texas Veterinary
Medical Association also says the
disease has been reported in Bust,
Central and South Texas an I the
Hill Country.
PARK LAND "OWED FOR" —
Land Commissioner Jerry Sadler
has written Governor Cnnnally
that "7.000 acres in area of pro-
pi seil Guadalupe National Park in
Culberson and Hudspeth Counties
has never been paid for by a pri-
vate pureha.ser.
Sadler said the interest has been
kept up, but the Abilene owner
still owes the state $.'17,000 on land
he agreed to buy for $1 an acre
forty years ago.
Congress has passed and sent to
the President a hill to establish a
71,000-acre national park. Land
cost has been estimated at $1,800,-
000 and development at $10,300,-
000. While favoring creation of
the park, Sadler insisted that Tex-
as retain the mineral interest in
some 45,000 acres.
Federal bill requires donation of
minerals owned by both state and
private interests, Sadler said.

project undertaken by the City.

striped for parking. Entrance will
be made from Main Street on t >

convenient parking area will be
appreciated by the City Council
and business people, who, with
more frontage parking space, can
provide better service for their
customers.
