City council delays, sets dance permit responsibility and water bond
The council requires dance sponsors to assume full responsibility for all activities and offers city officers on request with payment to the city.

The repayment bond is due September 1 and bonds for 115000 will be issued until taxes are collected later this fall. Neale Roy and Dee Casillas Jr. were reappointed to two year terms.

Legislative clashes loom after tax, redistricting deals
In Austin last week the Legislature advanced the Water Trust Fund bill and the Medical Practice Act while three major disputes linger. The House may concur with Senate water amendments, as Speaker Bill Clayton presses his agenda. Redistricting fights flare over Patman and Paul, with Von Dohlen’s plan facing House revolt. Property tax reform faces technical hurdles amid rural urban splits, with Clem ents pushing for a constitutional removal of the ten cent ad valorem tax. A wounded freshman Rep. Mike Martin, sponsor of teaching creationism, headlines a troubling note from the week.
