TMA. a group composed of over 8.000 businessmen and professionals. TMA spokesman Dr. Ralph Wilson, chairman of the association as well as chief executive officer of the Texas-based Ralph Wilson Plastics Company, stated the 36 chapters of the TMA located throughout the state held i simultaneous meetings to kick off the campaign.

Wilson. Attending the locally-held meetings were members of virtually every civic and professional group in the state as well as key members of the media. Citing the need for a new budgeting system. Wilson said. "There are five distinct problems relating to money management in Texas: budget office duplication of efforts, excessive and non-restrictive powers of the Free Conference Committee, "earmarking" of 80 per cent of our budget, non price-tagging of proposed bills, and no provision for budget accountability." Continuing, he stated that Texas' present budgeting system, adopted in 1949 when an annual budget of only $500 million existed, is totally incapable of efficiently handling today's annual budget of nearly $4 billion.

Dr. Wilson also stressed City Moves To Upgrade Its Plant Sanitation specialists from the Dallas firm of Forrest Cotton, consultant engineers, made a study of Pampa's sewage treatment plant yesterday. Employed by the city, their report is expected to be ready soon for the Texas Water Quality Board. The report, according to City Manager Mack Wofford. will deal with changes and a time schedule by which Pampa hopes to meet board requirements for compliance with new state standards for anti-pollution.

Wofford said the one major item which caused Pampa to be put on notice for compliance is being removed. "We hope this will satisfy the Water Quality Board along with other changes being made to meet the new set of rules." the city manager added. All YOU READY?

TMA said Dr. Wilson, -is that when the legislature is called to order in January of 1973. one of the first laws presented to our elected representatives and senators will be one that moves our budgeting system into modern-daytimes." The program presented at the locally held TMA kick-off meetings was built around an extensive slide-tape presentation designed to "present the problem of state budgeting honestly, without I bias." The association hopes to show the presentation to any Texas group, club or organization "interested in the future of our Slate." At the association's 50th anniversary annual conference scheduled in October at Dallas, the TMA intends to present definite budget reform plans to the association membership and to the citizens of Texas, according to Dr. Wilson.
