Citizens Panel OKs $10 Million Bond Plan
The Austin finance advisory committee endorsed a $10 million bond issue to fund five years of capital improvements. A unanimous vote followed discussion led by Chamber of Commerce President W. Luther Thompson. Both the bond and a parallel $10 million school issue will appear in a Nov. 6 special election, with a proposal to widen Congress Avenue bridge and a county pond financing push also moving forward. Negro leaders demanded guarantees on equity and facilities, while council leaders signaled willingness to compromise. City Manager Seaholm warned of tax increases, possible sewer charges, and a projected 1955 operating deficit absent new revenue.
