No Slowdown Texas Economy Booms in 1954 55
Texas enjoys unmatched growth with February activity likely a record high. Bureau of Business Research at the University of Texas expects a February index around 163, well above 1954 levels, with 12 percent rise from 1954 and 23 percent from January. Industrial power use and retail sales rise, construction booms with permits up 20 percent from January and over 30 percent above a year ago. Dr. John R. Stockton credits a building surge and incoming manufacturing plants for the expansion while cautioning against overexpansion and rising consumer credit risks as the outlook remains positive yet uncertain.
