Texas Restaurant Assoc backs mixed drink bill in capital
The Texas Restaurant Association plans to push a bill allowing local option elections for serving mixed drinks in sealed two ounce containers and extend the liquor curfew to 2 am. Executive VP W Price Jr says a six member TRA committee drafted the proposal with broad legislative support anticipated. The bill aims to boost tourism and generate about 3 million dollars annually in new tax revenue. Budget board warns state spending could rise with 1965-67 proposals. The Texas Bar judicial section also seeks large raises for judges, boosting district court salaries from 12 000 to 24 000 and higher for appellate and supreme courts.
