Texans Find Selves
$11,000,000 In Debt
With Prospects For
Next Year Gloomy
AUSTIN. Aug. SI.—VPh- The
•t ate closed Its books for the fiscal
year Saturday and struck its bal
ances in red Ink.
The aggregate deficit was $11,
337349 although revenues for the
year exceeded expenditures by
$11,710,436. prospects for next year
were even gloomier unless additional
revenue was provided by the legis
lature. The general revenue fund
deficit was listed at $6,495378 ana
the confederate pension fund over
draft at $4341.771.
The school fund was the only
main fund to show a substantial
improvement. It had a cash bal
ance of about $3350,000 with whlcn
to start the new year. Cash bal
ances also were reported in the
highway, game, fish and oyster and
other funds, but these departments
have operated on a cash basis for
years.
Total revenues for the year were
$141,123,861 while disbursements
were $129,413,426. During the year,
however, the school fund liquidatea
a deficit of about $5,000,003. ap
proximately $2,500300 was set aside
for the relief bond sinking funa
and the balance in the county ana
district road bond indebtedness
fund was increased.
Notable increases were shown in
receipts from beer, cigarette and
gasoline taxes.
Motor fuel tax revenues were the
highest in history $37.153318. an
increase of $3373.588 from the prev
ious year and about $5,000,000 high
er than any year in the pre-depres
sion period The gain, however, was
less than the 1933-34 fiscal year at
$4,173,883
Comptroller George H. Sheppard
anticipated even higher collections
during the next fiscal year and was
confident revenues would reacn
$40000.000. He attributed increased
collections to strengthening of the
law and tighter enforcement.
Gasoline tax collections for Aug
ust set a new mark. $3.662 045 over
the best previous monthly record
of $3,106,419 in July.

LAS CRUCES, N. M. Aug. 31 if,
—Flood warning* Hashed along the
Rio Grande's winding course

The stream rose menacingly, fed
by waters from cloudbursts which
deluged several New Mexico cities,
causing heavy losses. The damage
here was estimated at $500,000.
Weather bureau meteorologists
sent the flood warning to hall a
dozen tiny towns which dot the I
river's rout. The towns themselves!
were not imperiled, the warning
said, but lowlands along the river
were in danger.
Apparently the 6 46 inches of rain
fall recorded here was the heaviest
of Friday's downpours, but hard
rains also fell farther up the Valley.1
Las Cruces, with more than 500
of its 6.000 inhabitants temporarily
housed in churches and an armory,
began rehabilitation work even be
fore a complete check of the storm
damage was possible.
Thirty-nine national guardsmen
