Gill Will Call Off Opposition To Stadium Bonds
Gill, a Houston printing firm executive, agrees with Harris County officials to drop a suit challenging the legality of a 22 million tax backed stadium bond issue approved by voters. He seeks a printed clause tying bond retirement to stadium revenues and to cancel a 20 million revenue bond from 1958 if the tax backed bonds lack sufficiency. County officials say they see no objection if terms do not raise interest rates, while debate continues on the revenue bonds and timing of the tax backed issue.
