In State Since
1925

AUSTIN, Sept. 20. Rl-George
Sheppard. state comptroller. said
today that the state property tax
rate this year would be IA cents.
five cents higher than last year.
Sheppard stated the automatic tax
board. consisting Of himself, Gov.
Ross s. Sterling, and Charley Lock-
hart. state treasurer. fixed the rate
at a meeting today. The rate for
general revenue purposes was in
creased from n TO 80 cents. The
rate for the school fund and con-
federate pensions remained the
same. IS cents and seven cents re-
s~pectively.
Members OF the tax board had
sought to avoid a tax increase. In
the first called session. Gov. Ster-
ling asked that the oil tax be in
creased to two cents q barrel but
the legislature die not acceed.
This session, he requested enact
ment OF a law directing the tax
board DOT to incre 20 the rate. The
senate had not acted on the bill
and the house did not pass 1t by
the needed 100 votes.
This will be the highest tax rate

cents, the constitutional maximum.
This year the general revenue levy
will be three cents below the con
s~titutional maximum.
