Entitled Engineering Graphics

He said problems and examples

HOUSTON tP)—Gov. Preston
Smith called Monday for in
creased efforts to curb growing
concentration of people in cities
in a speech at the annual con
ference of the Texas Municipal
League.
Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes also spoke
to the conference, and proposed
a system of regional state-run
jails to replace crowded city and
county jails.
House Speaker Gus Mutscher
was slated to address a panel
meeting of the league, but he
sent a message saying he could
not attend. It would have been
his first public speech since an
Austin grand jury indicted him
for bribery.
Smith told the league, “One
of the most pressing problems
facing this country is the cur
rent maldistribution of our na
tion’s population.”
He cited reports indicating
that nonmetropolitan areas are
drawing more new industries
than last year.
“It appears to us that we are
heading in the direction of need
ed, balanced growth which will
be beneficial to all areas of
Texas,” he said.
“Incentives must be established
for business and industry to
locate in areas where they are
needed, and not in areas where
they would contribute to un
wanted congestion and demands
on the environment.”
Barnes told the group in ad
dition to the regional jail plan,
ways must be found to speed up
the criminal process to ease the
burden on local jails.
“I would like to see Texas de
velop regional jails in urban
areas,” Barnes said. “They
would be completely state fi
nanced to relieve the overcrowded
conditions in our prisons.”
He said the state should pay
for the urban jails because cities
already have heavy financial
burdens.
Barnes said the state also
should assume a greater burden
of projects such as highway
building within cities.
“I would like to see the state
assume 100 per cent cost of the
acquisition of right of way for
highways and roads,” he said.
Two candidates for lieutenant
governor also spoke to the Mu
nicipal League and both called
for the rewriting of the 1876
Texas Constitution.
W. P. Hobby, executive editor
of the Houston Post, said the
constitution’s intent is to “re
strict, stifle and curb the powers
of state government.”
“It forces our state govern
ment to function—or fail to func
tion—under an obsolete, inflex
ible system that makes govern
mental response to contemporary
problems difficult or in some
cases, imposible.”
State Sen. Ralph Hall of Rock
wall said in addition to rewriting
the constitution he wants annual
sessions of the legislature.
“I know of no reason to limit
us to 120 or 140 days,” Hall said.
Both changes are needed, he said,
in the state government.
