West Texas Committee Backs Five Constitutional Amendments
The State Affairs committee of the West Texas Chamber of Commerce in Abilene on Sept 24 unanimously supported five of 14 amendments on the November ballot. They favored amendments allowing industrial revenue bonds for growth, setting legislators’ salary at 8400 a year, exempting pollution equipment from ad valorem tax, phasing out state ad valorem tax after 1978 with college funds kept, and exempting goods in transit from state taxes. Chairman Reuben Senterfitt cautioned no vote against the others, and stressed tax equity and eliminating ad valorem taxes where possible.
