Lethal Gas Ruling Rehearings Denied By State Commission
The Texas Railroad Commission refused at least 15 requests to rehear or suspend its hydrogen sulfide gas ruling. The rule tightens controls after 17 deaths, requires fencing and detection gear, and sets a deadline to comply. Industry groups and Exxon oppose parts as too costly and punitive.

The U S Supreme Court ruled 5 to 0 that Texas cannot require majority property-owner approval for general obligation bonds. The decision, written by Justice Marshall, bars disenfranchising property holders and says library bonds need broad voter backing, not just property owners. The ruling applies prospectively to future cases.
