Texas state revenues fall in fiscal 1983

=> sws 1 AUSTIN — State revenues
; in fiscal 1983 fell for the first
. lime in 40 years, mostly because
of setbacks in the general econ-
g«
eb.
omy and the oil and gas indus-
jtry, the Texas Research League
[reported Monday.
I But the Austin-based public
Jfficy research group said local
iroperty taxes set a new record
Jury indicts
by rising 14.4 percent during
the year.
The reduction in overall state
tax collections stemmed mainly
from recession-spawned falloffs
of $156 million in sales tax reve
nue and $127 million in reve
nue from the oil severance tax.
Texas had a $917 million in
crease in revenues in fiscal
1982.
The drop in sales tax revenue
— the first recorded since the
tax was first imposed in 1961 —
was in sharp contrast to the
$478 million increase posted in
1982.
The sales tax is imposed not
only on general retail sales, but
also on sales of business ma
chinery, equipment and sup
plies.
The 4.5 percent decline in
sales tax revenue was caused by
the recession’s effect on con
sumer purchases and general
buiness activity. Devaluation of
the Mexican peso and the de
cline in world petroleum prices
also were direct contributing
factors, the Research League
said.

Dismissed A&M officer
not implicated in fires
By SARAH OATES
Reporter
Texas A&M University Police
Department officials said “it
should not be presumed” that
there is a correlation between a
University Police officer’s dis
covery of three suspicious fires
and his dismissal last week.
“There was an internal inves
tigation that was the basis for
the officer’s termination,” said
Bob Wiatt, director of security
and traffic for the University
Police Department. He said the
dismissed officer reported dis
covering the three fires.
College Station Assistant Fire
Marshal Joey Porter, who
helped investigate the fires, said
none of them caused serious
damage or threatened lives.
“The fires all occurred in rel
atively enclosed areas,” he said.
“They were surrounded by con
crete and wouldn’t have spread
any farther than the rooms they
were in.”
College Station Fire Depart
ment reports listed the causes of
the fires as “suspicious.”
The reports show that the
first fire was discovered at 4
a.m. Dec. 23 in a basement hall
way in Harrington Tower. Old
files and records were piled in
the hallway and lit with a match,
according to the reports.
The second fire occurred in
the Systems Administration
Building Dec. 31 and was simi
lar to the first. The reports said
several books were found burn
ing in an equipment room on
the second floor.
The third and smallest fire,
on Feb. 3, occurred when the
plastic seat of a motorcycle
parked in the basement of the
Zachry Engineering Center was
set on Fire, the reports said.
