New Petitions Filed For Liquor By The Drink Election
A second set of petitions seeking an election on liquor by the drink was filed with City Clerk Mrs. Robert Ligon. About 1500 signatures were gathered, with 1170 needed from qualified voters in Mexico. Voter registration closes 28 days before the election, and recent changes in registrations increased the required signature count. Officials weigh timing under state law to schedule the vote, possible Nov dates, and publication requirements.

Tax Cut Bill Is Essential as Connally Tells Senators
Secretary of the Treasury John B. Connally told the Senate Finance Committee that President Nixon's new economic policy is succeeding and urged prompt action on the $15.4 billion tax cut. He endorsed House changes with two exceptions, warned against expanding the deficit, and pressed for revenue offsets. He proposed two alterations to aid business: a 7 percent investment credit and a tax break for U.S. exporters, arguing the original plan was needed to prevent firms from shifting plants abroad. President Nixon planned to announce Phase 2 of the program that night.
