Trinity River Bill

Wails Shivers' Name

AUSTIN — UP—Gov. Allan Shiv-

ers' signature was all that re-

mained Tuesday toward creating

a controversial Trinity River Au-

thority, an embattled piece of leg-

islation that was greatly altered

from its original form.

The original bill included a nav-

igation feature in which barge

traffic would run from Fort Worth

to the Gulf. But this provision ran

into strong opposition, particular-

ly from railroad interests, and was

stricken out by the House.

However, the bill's sponsor, Rep.

Barefoot Sanders of Dallas, said

the measure still "is a good start

toward conservation on the Trinity

River."

He said he believed the proposal

would allow a start toward con-

servation of some G million acre-

feet of water wasted down the

Trinity River each year.

The bill carries a maximum tax

rate of two cents per $100 valua-

tion for development of the river

watershed. The measure originally

provided a tax rate of 10 cents per

$100 valuation.

The measure cleared the legisla-

ture- Monday when the House, by

voice vote, adopted a conference

comrnitte report on it. The Senate

gave approval to the report last

week.

Sanders said the legislation takes

all of five counties and parts of 12

others into the authority.

He said a majority of the coun-

ties, as weil as a majority of the

total number of voters, must ap-

prove levying the tax.

the attorney general," the report

said.

"A representative of the gover-

nor was shown to have attended

a number of (board) meetings,

although he had no authority to

vote. At most, he could only ob-

serve," the report continued.

"The absenteeism of the other

members of the board cannot es-

cape mention in view of the mag-

nitude of the program—involving,

as it did, the dispersal of $100 mil-

lion. The details, apparently, as

testified to by the governor and

the attorney general were entrust-

ed to the chairman of the board

and his staff by the other two

members. It is pointed out, how-

ever, that there has been no evi-

dence presented or developed that

would suggest fraudulent or dis-

honest practices on the part of ei-

ther of the other board members

in the administration of the pro-

gram."
