Senate backs pension funds as tax plan sidetracked
In Austin on November 8 the Senate delayed an omnibus tax bill to pursue a conference report on an old age pension bill. The House advanced a general funds appropriation of 85,100,000 to start pension payments immediately, with payments to begin by July 1. The plan seeks $100,000 more annually and a tax levy of one eighth of a cent per 1,000 cubic feet to raise about $1,000,000.
