65, By CURTIS KRUEGER Times Staff Writer It is asking the voters to let the. board tax property owners a maximum of 1 mill, compared to the current limit of 0.5 mill. One mill is $1 per $1,000 of assessed taxable value. ex-legislator, Known for his outspoken conservative views, he was a state representative for two years and a senator for a decade. In 1974, Mr.

Deeb asked the governor to send the National FUNERAL NOTICE IN MEMORIAM By CRAIG BASSE Times Obituaries Editor support the increase. But a group of party leaders known as the executive council met Saturday to discuss the Welfare Board proposal and other issues. Walker said two members of the council spoke against the plan, saying, "We're Republicans. We don't support tax increases." The matter never was brought up at the meeting Monday, which is the last meeting of the full committee before the primary election. Instead of getting the party to formally endorse the plan, Walker said he would write a column about the benefits of the plan in the next Republican Party newsletter.

Walker supports the plan. So does Pinellas Democratic Chairman Gabe Cazares, who met with Walker recently to discuss possible bipartisan support. The Pinellas Democratic Executive Committee last week unanimously endorsed the proposal. PINELLAS PARK The Pinellas County Republican party ducked the issue of whether to formally endorse a fall referendum that would raise extra tax money for the Juvenile Welfare Board. Monday, the Pinellas Republican Executive Committee failed to endorse the plan to increase the board's taxing authority.

But it didn't vote against the plan either. The committee didn't vote on the matter at all. County residents can vote in the Sept. 4 primary election whether to increase the taxing authority of the Welfare Board, which provides money to 44 different child-care agencies. A voter does not have to declare a party affiliation to vote on the referendum.

That same year, he tried Construction to have the entire St.

Petersburg Co. City Council removed, and he called for the abolition of city government. Mr. Deeb was born in Tallahassee. His father, George, was a Lebanese immigrant and self-educated home builder.

In 1964, after his father's death, Mr. Deeb, a Notre Dame graduate with a degree in civil engineering, took control of Deeb Construction. He was a state representative for two years and a senator for a decade. Democrat Don Chamberlin knocked him out of the upper chamber in 1976. Twice, in 1980 and 1986, he made unsuccessful attempts to win back a seat in the Senate.

Mr. Deeb's lengthy, colorful political career was revived in 1982 with his election as chairman of the Pinellas County GOP. He won a secofid term in 1984 but announced later that year that he was stepping down to devote more time to his real estate business. Mr. Deeb, who came to St.

Petersburg in 1938, was a member of the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle, Knights of Columbus Council 2105 and AMVET9. During World War II, he served in the Army. Survivors include his wife, Catalina three sons, Alex Richard G. and Thomas all of New Port Richey; a daughter, Teresa D.

"Dick" Deeb, a widely known real estate developer and longtime state lawmaker, died Monday (Aug. 6, 1990) at his residence, 5750 Seventh Ave. N. He was 65. Ill for about three years, he died of an offshoot of Parkinson's disease, according to a son, Alex.

A multimillionaire, he was president of Deeb Construction Co. of St. Petersburg and Port Richey until about a year ago. In Pasco County, Mr. Deeb was a prominent land developer and home builder.

He was chairman of the Pinellas County Republican Party from 1982 to 1984 after a dozen years in the state Legislature, where he became the center of perpetual controversy. To many people, he was a daring darling; to local governments, he was a meddlesome obstructionist. "He carried the conservative banner up there (in Tallahassee) for many years before it was in vogue," said Pinellas County Property Appraiser Jim Smith, a Republican who served two terms in the state House. Supporters of Mr. Deeb noted that he was instrumental in establishing the countywide 911 emergency number and legalizing bingo when conducted by charitable or fraternal organizations.

Foes pointed to his legislation that virtually froze public housing and urban redevelopment in St. Petersburg. He also took the Pinellas County School Board to court in an unsuccessful attempt to stop busing for desegregation. In 1972, he led a one-man filibuster in the state Senate against a land-use planning bill before it became law. That same year, he helped bring down much of Gov.

Reubin Askew's housing program. "If I've done any good for the people, it's been helping to defeat or amend legislation," Mr. Deeb said in 1974. "By and large, we have enough laws already; I think it's my job to see that we have no more government." Outspoken and renowned for his conservative views, Mr. Deeb frequently was scolded during his years in the Senate for not only representing St.

The outcome of the Bar inquiry was put on hold pending the resolution of Ragano's criminal tax case. Ragano already has weathered one tax conviction.
