A $100000 appropriation bill before the Texas Senate would fund salaries and expenses for the Veterans Land Board as it prepares to sell up to two million acres of federal land to World War II veterans. The plan, backed by Sen. W R Cousins Jr, follows a constitutional amendment authorizing bond issues up to 25000000 for land purchases and would target parcels from 50 to 2500 acres sold by competitive bids with 100 percent down and 4 percent interest for up to 40 years. The first sales could occur later this year if the board starts operating soon.
