School board weighs own tax agency to boost funds
Port Arthur officials report that the San Antonio Independent School District may set up its own assessing and collecting agency to rate city property and collect taxes. Dr James B Hotters says the board can value property within its district, while attorney Charles Dickson notes a state statute allows it. Other ideas include pressuring higher personal property taxes, selling unused school property, and pursuing delinquent taxes to support a 600000 bond for the waterworks system.

Admiral Leahy says Japan builds larger ships than U S Navy
Admiral William D. Leahy told the House naval committee that Japan is building combatant ships larger than any in the United States. He cited a 47 ship construction program and 42 auxiliaries proposed to raise naval strength by 20 percent, noting no confirmed Japanese ships over 85,000 tons are in view, and questioned U S power to enforce the Monroe Doctrine against multiple navies. The admiral warned a single navy would face extreme difficulty in destroying the American fleet, while Britain remains strongly capable.
