House approves liberal pension plan in Texas session
The House passed a pension bill by 135 to 5, differing from the Senate proposal. It would grant yearly pensions to those earning 720 dollars or less with net property value of 4,000 dollars, while the Senate set stricter income and asset limits. The measure includes a possible permanent fund, anti fraud provisions, but omits publication of pensioner names and shifts supervision between an administrator and a welfare board.
