in committee

Rep. Bill Willis, D-
Tahlequah, chairman of the
Fiouse Revenue and Taxation
Committee, said at least nine
proposals repealing sales
taxes have been assigned to
his committee
If w e turned them out, the
i revenue i loss would not be
anything less than $150 mil-
lion," Willis said. We just
can't stand that loss."
“You let out one of those
exemption bills and open up
that section of the law dealing
with sales tax exemptions
and it will look like a
Christmas tree with amend-
ments proposing other
exemptions," Willis said
"If it does not get out of
committee, members are
spared that embarrassment.
I’ll be surprised to see any of
the exemption bills come out
of committee.”

Drought relief
to loans total
S6.6 million
OKIAHOMA CITY (DPI)
Oklahomans who have
applied for federal drought
relief loans have received
more than $6.6 million in
funds from the Small
Business Administration,
SBA officials said today.
Charles Nail, manager of
the SBA disaster loan office
in Oklahoma City, said the
total relief loan program has
risen to $6,612,470 throughout
the state since homeowners
began applying for the money
last summer.
T he federal program offers
low-interest loans to home
and property owners who
suffered structural and other
damage in the record-setting
heatwave last year.
The loan program covers
homeowners, farmers and
businessmen who suffered
financial losses because of
the drought.
Most of the homeowner's
loans were for cracked or
damaged foundations caused
by the ground drying and
shifting Most of those loans,
amounting to $1.25 million,
were made to Tulsa area
homeowners, Nail said.
Nail said 4,553 applications
have been sent to his office
since the program started.
T he final figure will probably
exceed the original estimate
of 5,000 applications. Nail
said.

Mayor Jim Inhofe said
Tuesday funding for the $7
million project would come
largely from private or at
least non-city sources and
that a more detailed an-
nouncement of financing
proposals would be made
before July.
Inhofe, who pushed for the
construction of a recreational
lake on the Arkansas between
11th and 31st streets during
his 1978 campaign, said the
financing plan involves
"taking advantage of the
increased value of the land
(along the river) after the
dam is built.”
The Army Corps ot
Fmgineer, after an en-
vironmental impact study,
has issued a dam con-
struction permit to the city.
