New Mexico lawmakers weigh university bonds and school funding
The University Study Committee backs a 10 million dollar library bond issue payable over five years to state universities. A 42.5 million bond for university capital improvements was approved in 1966, with 19 million still unissued. The panel backs a study to report to the 1973 Legislature and considers a graduated full time equivalent funding model. Also moves on bank branch changes in Capitan and Ruidoso with approvals and pending actions. The Legislative School Study Committee seeks 12.8 million more for public schools in 1973 as tax bills face review.
