County tax proposed
OKLAHOMA CITY (API —
Senate leaders, who are trying to
round up support for a 2 42-cent
state motor fuel tax increase,
have been sent a proposal to
allow counties to impose a penny
fuel tax of their own.
The bill, by Rep. Gary L. Scher-
rer, D-Snow. was passed by the
House on Tuesday, a day after
Gov. George Nigh cut short his
attendance at a national gover-
nors’ meeting to return to
Oklahoma to lobby for the state
tax boost.
Scherrer originally proposed
allowing counties to impose a 2-
cent motor fuel tax, but agreed to
an amendment reducing the tax
plan.
The measure requires a vote of
the people in the affected county
before the tax could go into ef-
fect.
Rep Mike Fair, R-Oklahoma
City, tried unsuccessfully to
amend the bill to exempt counties
with populations exceeding
300,000, meaning Oklahoma
County and Tulsa County.
Fair argued Oklahoma County
has few county roads. He added
that Oklahoma County govern-
ment was not in a financial crun-
ch.
“We’ve got all the money we
need in Oklahoma County,” he
said
Lawmakers also voted down an
amendment that would have
specified that any money raised
by a county fuel tax must go to
road-building.
Scherrer said Pushmataha
County, which he represents,
would raise $207,000 a year from
a 1-cent county fuel tax.
Rep. Bill Lancaster, D-
Wagoner, supported the bill, but
said a 1-cent increase would not
raise enough revenue
"For too long, we’ve ignored
the plight of county government
and our rural roads continue to
deteriorate," Lancaster said
Scherrer said many counties
were shut out of a sales tax when
the Legislature this year approv
ed Nigh’s 1-cent sales tax in-
crease plan
House passes tuition increase bill
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - State
college students would be hit with an
increase in tuition fees for the se-
cond year in a row under a measure
passed by the House.
The proposal, by Rep. Fred
Joiner, D-Del City, would allow a 10
percent increase in tuition fees for
in state students and a IS percent in-
crease for out-of-state students
The tuition hike was approved by
state Regents for Higher Education
in a vote last week, contingent on
agreement by the Legislature
The measure passed the House
Tuesday on a 71 -23 vote — despite
criticism of higher education spen
ding practices — and moves on for
Senate action
During debate on the measure,
Rep. Frank Shurden, D-Henryetta,
said colleges and universities should
tighten their belts before tuition is
increased again.
Shurden said colleges have loo
many motor vehicles and aircraft
“We need to send them a message
and tell them to clean up their act."
he said
The bill was approved after Joiner
said institutions of higlier learning
are in great need of the estimated F7
million the tuition boost would raise

pose of Hie hospital “To wipe

from the face of theearlh "
Clifford Damstrom, a St Jude ad
ministralor. explained the impor-
tance of the work done at the
research hospital
"St. Jude is the largest childhood
cancer research center in the world.
It is the first research center
dedicated exclusively to the
research and conquest of
catastrophic diseases of children,
such as cancer," Damstrom said
"When SI Jude accepted its first
patient in 1962. the survival rale for
children diagnosed with acute lym-

percent . Today, the disease-free sur-
vival figure for children has grown
to over 50 percent
Morris said details of Sapulpa s

nounced soon
“Cancer treatment procedures
that originated at St. Jude are now

throughout the United States and in
- other parts of the world."
