Tax relief measures urged to ease Texas homeowners burden
The proposal seeks waiving interest and penalties on delinquent taxes and enabling home loan relief for Texas homeowners. It backs removing obstacles for life insurers and building and loan associations to invest in federal home loan banks, aiding financing of homesteads. Foreclosures risk rising without action, and passage alongside a $3,000 homestead exemption would lessen taxation burdens on small farms and home owners despite revenue concerns.

Three Relief Proposals From Governor Endorsed
Governor Sterling calls a special session for August 30 to approve three relief measures. One would divert one cent of the gas tax to take over county road bonds. The second would waive interest and penalties on delinquent taxes paid by January 1, 1933. The third would remove obstacles to homeowners obtaining full benefits from the home loan relief act. The plan promises tax relief and a highway funding shift, with Brazos County seeing a 0.38% tax rate, while highway construction would still proceed with reduced ads expenditure.
