Kile throws no-hitter, Astros win 7-1
The Associated Press
HOUSTON — Darryl Kile, a low-budget starter on a multimillion-
dollar staff, pitched baseball's second no-hitter in five days, leading the
Houston Astros over the New York Mets 7-1 Wednesday night.
Kile, backed by excellent plays from third baseman Ken Caminiti
and shortstop Andujar Cedeno in the seventh inning, threw Houston's
first no-hitter since Mike Scott clinched the NL West championship
with a 2-0 victory over San Francisco in 1986.
Kile (15-6) struck out nine and walked one. His gem came just after
Jim Abbott pitched a no-hitter for the New York Yankees against Cleve
land on Saturday. Seattle's Chris Bosio pitched the other no-hitter in the
majors this year, against Boston on April 22.

recommendation or you don't."
Smith characterized the meet
ing as cordial and productive
and said he expected A&M to re
ceive the findings this week.
"The purpose for the meeting
was to exchange views and as
sure them that we stand ready to
do whatever we can to move the
process along to closure," Smith
said. "We did agree on some
joint initiatives that we are pur
suing right now, and I'm hopeful
that by working together we can
get this thing to closure quickly.
"Our purpose was to go to
them and say 'is there anything
else we can do to help you reach
a decision,' and we were told
that we could expect a decision
(next) week. We simply are
awaiting the NCAA to confirm
that or to tell us something else."
Smith said the delay in the de
cision forthcoming from the
NCAA was not a concern.
"That's water under the
bridge; that's something that
happens."
A&M head football coach R.C.
Slocum said he had no comment
regarding the meeting nor new
news regarding the NCAA deci
sions.
He said although the duration
of the review was disappointing,
the affect it is having on his team
was minimal.
"I'd have to say that it's disap
pointing; I would have liked for
it to be over with by now,"
Slocum said. "As far as hanging
over the team I don't know, we
got a big ball game this week so
we've focused on that and I think
it's occupied our thoughts most
of the time."

out doesn't help.
The Redskins looked strong on Mon
day night, but they can only cross their
fingers in hopes that quarterback Mark
Rypien doesn't repeat his disaster from a
year ago. If Monday was an indication of
Rypien's status, watch out.
The Giants are at best mediocre. Dis
agree? Phil Simms is too old and the Gi
ants barely got by Chicago, a team in a
serious transition period.
Phoenix could be dangerous, but they
are still too young. Besides, rookie Garri
son Heart will have to get more than 3
yards per game if the Cards are to make
a surge from the cellar.
The Eagles have holes to fill, the most
obvious is the one left by Reggie White
who went to Green Bay. More impor
tantly, and like every year before, Ran
dall Cunningham is always a big ques
tion mark as to his leadership abilities.
Enter the Cowboys. Even with a 10-6
season, the Cowboys could be the NFC
East Division Champions. I think they
can do that, but it will be a struggle to
finish there without Emmitt and the
murderous schedule they will have to
play.
Back to Smith's holdout. Whoa, hold
on a minute Emmitt. I have a question
for number 22. If you had to vote today
for either Emmitt Smith or Thurman
Thomas for the NFL Hall of Fame, who
would you vote for?
Texan bias aside, Thomas would be
the unanimous choice, hands down. The
guy has been a constant force for Buffalo,
he's helped them get to the Super Bowl
three straight years and has been one of
the top three running backs over the last
four years.
Emmitt, you're not helping yourself
by holding out for a few more million
dollars.
No one deserves $5 million dollars a
year, not even Thurman, but one should
play the game because one loves it and
one wants to give something back to the
team, fans and the game.
1 can't believe I am asking for Emmitt
to return so that he can run all over my
fallen Eagles, but I'd much rather see
Emmitt on the field and the Cowboys in
first place, opposed to the Giants or Red
skins.
The economic aspect of Emmitt's
holdout is indeed a sad one, but hopeful
ly the bargaining game will end soon. If
more and more players are going to re
quest money on the basis that they are as
good as someone else, as Smith has done^
the NFL could be in big trouble and a
strike could result from this unnecessary
behavior.

nancing of start-up costs for historically
underutilized businesses. The amend
ment provides that the legislature by law
may establish a Texas historically under
utilized business capital growth and
start-up fund. The money in the fund may
be used without further appropriation
and only for a program established by the
legislature to aid in the start-up costs of a
historically underutilized business, as de
fined by the legislature. To carry out the
program, the legislature may issue up to
$50 million of general obligation bonds to
provide funding. The legislature may re
quire review and approval of the issuance
of bonds, the use of the bond proceeds, or
of the rules adopted by an agency to
govern use of the bond proceeds. Bonds
authorized by the amendment constitute
a general obligation of the state.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment au
thorizing the legislature to provide for
the issuance of $50 million of general
obligation bonds for the recovery and
further development of the state’s
economy and for increasing job oppor
tunities and other benefits for Texas
residents through state financing of
the start-up costs of historically un
derutilized businesses.”

House Joint Resolution 86 proposes a
constitutional amendment authorizing
the legislature, by general law, to exempt

real and personal property used, con
structed, acquired, or installed wholly or
partly to meet or exceed rules or regula
tions adopted by any environmental pro
tection agency of the United States,
Texas, or a political subdivision of this
state for the prevention, monitoring, con
trol, or reduction of air, water, or land

1994.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to

PROPOSITION NO. 3
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 3 proposes a
constitutional amendment to clear land
titles in which the State of Texas relin
quishes and releases any claim of sover
eign ownership or title to an undivided
one-third interest in and to the lands and
minerals within the Shelby, Frazier, and
McCormick League (now located in Fort
Bend and Austin counties) arising out of
the interest in that league originally
granted under the Mexican Colonization
Law of 1823 to John McCormick on or
about July 24, 1824, and subsequently
voided by the governing body of Austin’s
Original Colony on or about December
15, 1830. Title to such interest in the
lands and minerals is confirmed to the
owners of the remaining interests in such
lands and minerals.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment pro
viding for the clearing of land titles by
the release of a state claim in a frac
tional interest, arising out of the void
ing of an interest under a Mexican
land grant, to the owners of certain
property in Fort Bend and Austin
counties.”
PROPOSITION NO. 4
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 49 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
prohibit a state personal income tax with
out voter approval and would dedicate
the proceeds of any income tax, if en
acted, to property tax relief and educa
tion. The amendment provides that a
general law enacted by the legislature
that imposes a tax on the net incomes of
natural persons, including a person’s
share of partnership and unincorporated
association income, must provide that the
portion of the law imposing the tax not
take effect until approved by a majority
of the registered voters voting in a state
wide referendum held on the question of
imposing the tax. The referendum must
specify the rate of the tax that will apply
to taxable income.
The amendment also provides that a
general law enacted by the legislature
that increases the rate of the tax, or
changes the tax in g manner that results
in an increase in the combined income tax
liability of all persons subject tdrtie tax,
may not take effect until approved by a
majority of the registered voters voting
in a statewide referendum held on the
question of increasing the income tax.
The referendum must specify the manner
in which the proposed law would increase
the combined tax liability of all persons
subject to the tax. The legislature may
repeal, or amend without increasing, a
tax approved by the voters without sub
mitting the amendment or the repeal to
the voters. If the legislature repeals a tax
approved by the voters, the legislature
may only reenact the tax without voter
approval if the effective date of the re
enactment of the tax is within one year of
the effective date of the repeal of the tax.
The amendment also provides that, in
the first year in which an income tax is
imposed, and during the first year of any
increase in the tax, not less than two-
thirds of all net revenues from the tax
shall be used to reduce the rate of ad val
orem maintenance and operation taxes
levied for the support of primary and sec
ondary education. In subsequent years,
not less than two-thirds of all net reve
nues of the tax shall be used to continue
such ad valorem tax relief. The net reve
nues of the tax remaining after the dedi
cation of money for reduction of ad val
orem maintenance and operation taxes
shall be used for support of education.
The maximum rate at which a school dis
trict may impose ad valorem maintenance
and operation taxes is reduced by an
amount equal to one cent per $100 valua
tion for each one cent per $100 valuation
that the school district’s ad valorem main
tenance and operation tax is reduced by
the minimum amount of money dedicated
under the amendment, provided that a
school district may subsequently increase
the maximum ad valorem maintenance
and operation tax rate if the increased
maximum rate is approved by a majority
of the voters of the school district voting
at an election called and held for that pur
pose. The portions of the amendment re
lating to dedicating tax revenues to re
duce the rate of ad valorem maintenance
and operation taxes apply on or after the
first January 1 after the date on which an
income tax takes effect, except that if the
income tax begins to apply on a January
1, the amendment applies to ad valorem
maintenance and operation taxes levied
on or after that date.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment pro
hibiting a personal income tax without
voter approval and, if an income tax is
enacted, dedicating the revenue to
education and limiting the rate of local
school taxes.”
PROPOSITION NO. 5
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 18 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would au
thorize the legislature to prescribe the
qualifications of sheriffs. Currently, the
constitution authorizes the legislature to
prescribe the duties, perquisites, and
fees of office, but not the qualifications for
the office of sheriff.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to al
low the legislature to prescribe the
qualifications of sheriffs.”
PROPOSITION NO. 6
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 21 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
abolish the office of county surveyor in
Jackson County. The amendment also
provides for the powers, duties, and func
tions of the county surveyor to be trans
ferred to the county officer designated by
the commissioners court.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment abol
ishing the office of county surveyor in
Jackson County.”
PROPOSITION NO. 7
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 57 proposes a
constitutional amendment that repeals
article XII, section 6, of the Texas Con
stitution, which currently provides that
no corporation shall issue stock or bonds
except for money paid, labor done, or
property actually received, and that all
fictitious increase of stock or indebted
ness shall be void.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment re
pealing certain restrictions on the
ability of corporations to raise capital.”
PROPOSITION NO. 8
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 22 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would
authorize the commissioners court of
McLennan County to call an election to
abolish the office of county surveyor. The
office of county surveyor will be abolished
if a majority of the qualified voters of
McLennan County voting on the question
favor the abolition. If the office of county
surveyor is abolished, the amendment re
quires the maps, field notes, and other
records in the custody of the county sur
veyor to be transferred to the county
clerk of McLennan County. After aboli
tion, the amendment also grants the com
missioners court of McLennan County
the authority to employ or contract with a
qualified person to perform any of the
functions that would have been per
formed by the county surveyor if the
office had not been abolished.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to
abolish the office of county surveyor in
McLennan County.”
PROPOSITION NO. 9
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 19 proposes an
amendment to article VIII, section 13 of
the Texas Constitution that would modify
the provisions for the redemption of real
property sold at a tax sale. The amend
ment deletes current language in article
VIII, section 13 that allows the legis
lature to provide for the sale of property
without trial to pay for delinquent taxes.
It also states that the deed to the new
owner vests a good and perfect title sub
ject only to redemption as set out in this
amendment or impeachment for fraud.
Language is added limiting application of
the current two-year redemption, period
to former owners of residence home
steads and land designated for agricul
tural use sold for unpaid taxes. When
property is sold as the result of a suit to
enforce collection of unpaid taxes, the
amendment would allow the legislature to
limit redemption to property used as a
residence homestead or designated for
agricultural use at the time the suit was
filed. The amendment creates a second
type of redemption for former owners of
real property when property is neither a
residence homestead, nor designated for
agricultural use. These owners would
have a six-month period in which to
redeem their property by paying the
amount of money paid for the property,
including the Tax Deed Recording Fee,
all taxes, penalties, interest, and costs
paid plus an amount not exceeding 25
percent of the aggregate total. The
amendment applies to redemption of
properties sold at a tax sale for which the
purchaser’s deed is filed on or after Janu
ary 1, 1994. For redemption of properties
sold at a tax sale for which the pur
chaser’s deed was filed before January 1,
1994, the former law is applicable and re
mains in effect.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to
modify the provisions for the redemp
tion of real property sold at a tax
sale.”
PROPOSITION NO. 10
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 34 proposes a
constitutional amendment that adds a
new section 49-b-2 to article III of tne
Texas Constitution. This new section pro
vides that, in addition to the general obli
gation bonds authorized to be issued and
sold by the Veterans’ Land Board (the
“Board”) by sections 49-b ($950 million)
and 49-b-l ($1.3 billion) of article III, the
board may provide for, issue, and sell
genera] obligation bonds of the state in an
amount not to exceed $750 million to pro
vide financing to Texas veterans. $250
million of the bonds authorized by this
new section shall be used to augment the
Veterans’ Land Fund (the “Land Fund”).
The Land Fund shall be used by the
Board to purchase lands situated in Texas
owned by the United States government,
an agency of the United States govern
ment, the State of Texas, a political sub
division or agency of the State of Texas,
or a person, firm, or corporation. The
lands shall be sold to veterans in quan
tities, on terms, at prices, and at fixed,
variable, floating, or other rates of inter
est determined by the Board. Lands in
the Land Fund that .are offered for sale to
veterans and that are not sold may be
sold or resold to the purchasers in quan
tities, terms, prices, and rates of interest
determined by the Board.
New section 49-b-2 creates the Vet
erans’ Housing Assistance Fund II (the
“Housing Fund II”), and $500 million of
the general obligation bonds authorized
by the section shall be used for the Hous
ing Fund II. The Housing Fund II is a
separate and distinct fund from the Vet
erans’ Housing Assistance Fund (the
“Housing Fund”) established under sec
tion 49-b-l of article III. Money in the
Housing Fund II shall be administered
by the Board and shall be used to make
home mortgage loans to veterans for
housing within this state in quantities, on
terms, and at fixed, variable, floating, or
other rates of interest determined by the
Board. The principal of, and interest on,
the general obligation bonds authorized
by this section for the benefit of the
Housing Fund II shall be paid out of the
money of the Housing Fund II. The prin
cipal of, and interest on, the general obli
gation bonds authorized by section 49-b-l
of article III for the benefit of the Hous
ing Fund shall be paid out of money in the
Housing Fund. If there is not enough
money in the Land Fund, the Housing
Fund, or the Housing Fund II, as the
case may be, available to pay the prin
cipal of, and interest on, the general obli
gation bonds authorized by this section or
by sections 49-b or 49-b-l of article III,
there is appropriated out of the first
money coming into the treasury in each
fiscal year an amount that is sufficient to
pay the principal of, and interest on, the
general obligation bonds that mature or
become due during that fiscal year.
If the Board determines that assets
from the Land Fund, the Housing Fund,
or the Housing Fund II are not required
for purposes of the fund, the Board may
transfer the assets to another of those
funds or use the assets to secure revenue
bonds issued by the Board. The revenue
bonds shall be special obligations of the
Board and payable only from and secured
by receipts of the funds, assets trans
ferred from the funds, and other reve
nues as determined by the Board and
shall not constitute indebtedness of the
State of Texas or the Board. The Board
may issue revenue bonds from time to
time, which bonds may not exceed an ag
gregate principal amount that the Board
determines can be fully retired from the
receipts of the funds. The revenue bonds
shall be sold in forms, denominations, and
in installments, and bear a rate or rates
of interest as the Board determines.
The general obligation bonds autho
rized to be issued by the Board by this
section or be sections 49-b and 49-b-l of
article III shall be issued and sold in
forms and denominations, on terms, at
times, in the manner, at places, in install
ments, and shall bear a rate or rates
of interest the Board determines. The
bonds shall be incontestable after execu
tion by the Board, approval by the At
torney General of Texas, and delivery to
the purchaser.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment au
thorizing issuance of $750 million in
general obligation bonds to augment
the Veterans’ Land Fund and the Vet
erans’ Housing Assistance Fund and
to fund the Veterans’ Housing Assis
tance Fund II.”
PROPOSITION NO. 11
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 31 proposes a
constitutional amendment relating to the
duties of trustees of local retirement sys
tems which provide retirement and re
lated disability and death benefits for
public officers and employees and that do
not belong to a statewide retirement sys
tem. The amendment provides that the
board of trustees of such a system shall
(1) administer the system of benefits; (2)
hold the assets of the system for the ex
clusive purposes of providing benefits to
participants and their beneficiaries and
defraying reasonable expenses of admin
istering the system; and (3) select legal
counsel and an actuary and adopt sound
actuarial assumptions to be used by the
system.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment pro
viding that the trustees of a local pub
lic pension system must administer
the system for the benefit of the sys
tem’s participants and beneficiaries.”
PROPOSITION NO. 12
ON THE BALLOT
House Joint Resolution 23 proposes a
constitutional amendment providing that
any person accused of a violent or sexual
offense committed while under the super
vision of a criminal justice agency of this
state or a political subdivision of this
state for a prior felony may, after a hear
ing and evidence substantially showing
the guilt of the accused, be denied bail
pending trial. If the accused is not, how
ever, accorded a trial within 60 days from
the time of his incarceration upon the ac
cusation or indictment, the order denying
bail shall be set aside unless a conti
nuance is obtained upon the request of
the accused. In the amendment, the term
“violent offense” means murder, aggra
vated assault (if a deadly weapon was
used or exhibited during the commission
of the assault), aggravated kidnapping,
or aggravated robbery. The term “sexual
oflense” means aggravated sexual as
sault, sexual assault, or indecency with a
child.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment per
mitting the denial of bail to certain
persons charged with certain violent
or sexual offenses committed while
under the supervision of a criminal
justice agency of the state or a politi-
. cal subdivision of the state.”
PROPOSITION NO. 13
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 13 proposes a
constitutional amendment that amends
article VII, section 17(a), of the Texas
Constitution to provide that, of the $100
million currently appropriated by that
section for the use of public institutions of
higher education during each fiscal year,
those institutions may also utilize this
money to pay for acquiring, constructing,
or equipping or for major repair or re
habilitation of buildings, facilities, other
permanent improvements, or capital
equipment used jointly for educational
and general activities and for auxiliary
enterprises to the extent of their use for
educational and general activities. For
the five-year period beginning on Sep
tember 1, 2000, and for each five-year pe
riod thereafter, the legislature, during a
regular session that is nearest, but pre
ceding, a five-year period may, by a two-
thirds vote of the membership of each
house, increase the amount of the $100
million constitutional appropriation for
the five-year period. The amendment also
reflects name changes that have been
made to some of the institutions of higher
education for which such funding is avail
able. The amendment adds the Texas
State Technical College System to those
institutions eligible to receive such fund
ing, but limits its allocation of the annual
appropriation to 2.2 percent of the total
appropriation each fiscal year. The
amendment also provides that each gov
erning board authorized to participate in
the distribution of money under article
III, section 17, may also issue bonds and
notes for the purposes of refunding bonds
or notes issued under that section or
prior law for the purposes of acquiring
capital equipment, library books and li
brary materials, paying for acquiring,
constructing, or equipping or for major
repair or rehabilitation of buildings, facil
ities, other permanent improvements, or
capital equipment used jointly for educa
tional and general activities and for auxil
iary enterprises to the extent of their use
for educational and general activities.
The amendment deletes language in ar
ticle III, section 17, which authorizes the
legislature to designate a single agency to
issue such bonds or notes in lieu of the
governing bodies, and to transfer to that
agency the authority to collect and pledge
money to the payment of such bonds and
notes as directed by the governing body
of each eligible institution. Funds appro
priated under article III, section 17, may
not be used for the purpose of construct
ing, equipping, repairing, or rehabilitat
ing buildings or other permanent im
provements that are to be used only for
student housing, intercollegiate athletics,
or auxiliary enterprises.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment relat
ing to the amount and expenditure of
certain constitutionally dedicated
funding for public institutions of
higher education.”
PROPOSITION NO. 14
ON THE BALLOT
Senate Joint Resolution 45 proposes a
constitutional amendment that adds a
new subsection (e) to article III, section

(a) ($500 million), (c) ($400 million), and
(d) ($1.1 billion) of section 49-h, the legis
lature may authorize the issuance of up to
$1 billion in general obligation bonds and
may use the proceeds of the bonds for ac
quiring, constructing, or equipping new
corrections institutions, including youth
corrections institutions, and mental
health and mental retardation institu
tions and for major repair or renovation
of existing facilities of those corrections
and mental health and mental retardation

section 49-h, relating to the review and
approval of bonds, and the provisions of
subsection (b) of section 49-h, relating to
the status of the bonds as a general obli
gation of the state and to the manner in
which the principal and interest on the
bonds are paid, apply to bonds authorized
by this amendment.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
The constitutional amendment autho
rizing the issuance of up to $1 billion
in general obligation bonds payable
from the general revenues of the state
for projects relating to facilities of
corrections and mental health and
mental retardation institutions.”

House Joint Resolution 37 proposes a
constitutional amendment that would au
thorize the county commissioners court of
a county to call an election to abolish the
office of county surveyor. The office of
county surveyor is abolished if a majority
of voters of the county voting in the elec
tion approve the measure. If the office of
county surveyor is abolished, the maps,
field notes, and other records of the
county surveyor are transferred to the
county officer or employee designated by
the commissioners court.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment to
permit the voters of a county to de

the office of county surveyor in the
county.”
PROPOSITION NO. 16

Senate Joint Resolution 44 proposes an
amendment to article III, section 49-i(b)
of the Texas Constitution, which cur
rently limits the principal amount of
bonds outstanding at one time for the
Texas agricultural fund to $25 million and
for the rural microenterprise develop
ment fund to $5 million. The amendment
would raise the principal amount limit for
the Texas agricultural fund to $100 mil
lion. The amendment would also make
the principal amount limit for each fund
apply to the total principal amounts of
both bonds and notes issued or sold
rather than just the principal amounts of
bonds outstanding at one time.
The proposed amendment will appear
on the ballot as follows:
“The constitutional amendment au
thorizing up to a total of $100 million
in bonds and notes to be issued or sold
to finance the Texas agricultural fund
for providing financial assistance to
develop, increase, improve, or expand
the production, processing, market
ing, or export of crops or products
grown or produced primarily in this
state by agricultural businesses
domiciled in the state.”
