Poll tax legal fight and state water rights move forward
In a pre trial hearing before U S District Judge Adrian Spears Texas official Ween Sanford Carr argues the federal suit to end poll tax on voting aims to bar a discriminatory practice. He cites a 1961 civil rights survey and notes revenue supports the Available School Fund. The State Water Rights Commission approves locating a new dam for the Colorado River Municipal Water District at Robert Lee to boost West Texas water supply and plan a 489000 acre foot reservoir with annual diversions for cities and industry.
