Gas Tax Hike Bill Contends in Texas Legislature
May 15 gas tax proposal to raise the state gasoline tax one cent a gallon for schools and roads stayed barely alive in the Texas House amid a quorum dispute and late meetings. A personal appeal by Rep. M. O. Bell of San Antonio pressured adjournment after a blocked vote, with recall possible Friday. The measure could yield about 9 million annually for roads and 5 million for schools, but final passage failed 62 to 59, and a reconsideration attempt also failed. The House also advanced a vocational education director bill and a chiropractic licensing measure, with the latter facing Senate action.
