MUNICIPAL BOND F.INANCING IN TEXAS
State agencies and local governments in Texas have issued in
excess of $5 billion of municipal bonds since the end of World
War II. Annual borrowings have advanced fivefold from 1945
to 1962, and it is estimated that the bonded debt of these governmental units has reached a current level of $4 billion. Cities
and school districts have contributed heavily to this expansion
in debt; but the financing requirements of public colleges and
universities, counties, certain state agencies, and special districts
and authorities have also been prominent. Although the growth
in debt financing of state and local government in Texas is impressive, the rates of expansion in annual borrowings and in
bonded debt outstanding are well below those for the Nation.
Over-all population growth in the State, marked shifts of
population from rural to urban areas, and sharp expansion in
the number of persons of school and college age are among the
principal underlying factors which have stimulated increases in
borrowing for capital-outlay purposes. It is anticipated that these
trends will continue and have a major impact upon borrowing
requirements in the future.
Since 1940, the population of Texas has grown about 56
percent to an estimated total of 10 million persons, as compared
with a gain of about 41 percent for the Nation. Moreover, major
shifts have occurred between rural and urban components. In
1940, persons living in cities and towns accounted for 45 percent
of the total population of the State, but by 1950 this proportion
had increased to 63 percent. In 1960, urban population had

Bonds issued by cities and towns during 1957-61
totaled $760,662,000 and provided two-fifths of the
total funds raised through borrowings by all units of
state and local government in Texas. On December
31 , 1960, the bonded debt of these municipalities was
$1,434,900,000, or about 42 percent of the state total.
The four largest cities in Texas -- Houston, Dallas,
San Antonio, and Fort Worth -- account for about
one-third of the total debt of all municipalities in the

In the marketing of Texas municipal obligations,
over 90 percent of offerings are sold through the
competitive bidding process. Since almost all general
obligation bonds are sold in this manner, the relatively
small volume of negotiated sales is limited to revenuetype issues. The practice of selling through competitive
bidding reflects a feeling among most issuers that this
method yields the best price and, thus, is the least
costly to the borrower.
Half a dozen or more of the larger commercial
banks in the State and many of the 70-odd resident
nonbank firms bid actively for new offerings of Texas
municipal bonds, usually through organized groups or
BUSIN ESS REVIEW I'
11 :1962
31
syndicates which are formed for this purpose. Depending upon the size and quality of the issue to be sold,
bidding groups may also include or be formed by banks
and nonbank dealers in New York, Chicago, and other
financial centers. When bidding groups are formed
locally or include major local participation, members
usually organize "western" style, whereby each assumes
responsibility for an agreed dollar amount of the total
issue being sold. This contrasts with the "eastern" style
of organization, which makes each member of the
successful bidding group liable for an agreed proportion of the total amount remaining unsold.
The underwriting and secondary distribution of an
expanded volume of Texas municipals in recent years
have led to a significant broadening in the market for
these securities. Local banks and other resident dealers
have played a prominent role in this development by
taking a more active interest in bidding for and selling
new issues and by increasing the scope of their activities in making markets for distributed issues. The
competitiveness of bidding for new issues of Texas
municipals is reflected by the fact that actual bids have
often differed by no more than a few basis points of
net interest cost. Moreover, the movement of national
nonbank firms into the State has aided the dissemination of market information and facilitated a wider
distribution of Texas-issued municipal securities. Since
1956, the number of nonresident securities dealers who
are members of the Municipal Advisory Council of
Texas has increased about one-third to a total of 61.
Interest earnings on municipal bonds, including
those of Texas origin, are exempt from Federal taxes
on personal and corporate incomes. For this and other
reasons, such bonds are especially attractive investment
holdings for many individuals, certain financial institutions, and others, both within the State and in the
Nation. Thus, on June 30, 1961, individuals (including
partnerships and personal trust accounts) owned an
estimated 40 percent of all municipal bonds outstanding in the United States, while commercial banks and
insurance companies held 26 percent and 17 percent,
respectively. Other major types of owners include
state and local funds; corporations, exclusive of banks
and insurance companies; mutual savings banks; and
miscellaneous investors, such as savings and loan associations, corporate pension trust funds, nonprofit
associations, and dealers and brokers.
Although similar estimates of ownership of the
issues of individual states are not available, national
, BUSINESS REVIEW

data suggest that ,a minimum of 75 to 80 percent of
Texas municipals is held by individuals, commercial
banks, and insurance companies. The actual proportion is probably higher because of the special interest
of certain life insurance companies in Texas issues and
the limited demand of other resident and nonresident
investor groups, such as corporations and mutual
savings banks, for relatively small and less well known
issues of local municipals. Texas law requires that 75
percent of the legal reserve for life insurance written
on citizens of the State be invested in Texas securities
or real estate. Insurance company interest in Texas
municipals is also enhanced somewhat by the relatively
large nwnber of firms which have been chartered by the
State and the greater familiarity of the locally based
companies with these issues.

Since 1945, commercial banks in Texas have added
substantially to their holdings of the obligations of
states and political subdivisions, including issues originating within the State. For example, member bank
investments in municipal securities expanded almost
sevenfold from 1945 to 1961. On June 30, 1962,
total holdings amounted to $816,710,000.
Municipal security holdings of commercial banks
in Texas are weighted heavily by issues of larger cities.
However, with the 1955 enactment of a state laW
which gives an unlimited tax base to school district
bonds, banks have shown considerable interest in this
type of obligation. Commercial banks usually prefer
serial issues with average maturities of less than 10
years. A further stimulus to commercial bank interest
in municipal securities was created when the permissible maximum rate of interest payable on time and
savings deposits was raised from 3 percent to 4 percent,
effective early this year. With the additional funds for
investment which were attracted by this rate adjustment and the greater needs for earnings to offset higher
interest payments on such funds, banks have expanded
and lengthened their municipal portfolios. Between
December 31, 1961, and June 30, 1962, member
banks in Texas added $58,847,000, or about 8 percent, to their holdings of these issues.
The three major public funds in the State - the
Teacher Retirement System, State Permanent School
Fund, and Permanent University Fund - held a combined total of $275,972,000 of Texas municipal securities on August 31, 1962, or about 7 percent of the
estimated total bonded debt of Texas and its agencies
and political subdivisions. None of these funds is permitted to purchase or hold municipal obligations except
those of Texas origin, and the State Permanent School
Fund is prohibited from reducing its holdings of municipal obligations through sale. Actually, the State
Permanent School Fund has preemptive rights in
adding to its holdings of certain new securities,
inasmuch as it can obtain any Texas school district
issue at the net interest cost of the highest bidder.
Special circumstances, however, have served to
reduce the municipal holdings of the three funds in
recent years, and these investments declined
$37,184,000 during the 3 years ended August 31,
1962. One of the major factors which has inhibited

recent new purchases of municipals by these funds is
their interest, because of yield considerations, in increasing holdings of corporate bonds and common
stocks - an alternative which is now available by
virtue of changes in legal provisions governing the types
of securities that can be acquired. Inasmuch as the
tax exemption feature of municipals is of no benefit to
these public funds and because of their current interest
in increasing the proportion of corporate issues in their
total portfolios, accruals of new money and reinvestments are being committed heavily to nonmunicipal
securities.

Thus far in 1962, municipal borrowings in Texas
have held at a high level. For example, during the
first 9 months of the year, all units of state and local
government issued $344,081,000 of debt obligations,
as compared with $332,834,000 in 1961. Cities and
towns marketed about 40 percent of the 1962 offerings,
while school and college districts accounted for about
30 percent. Significant advances also occurred in the
sale of obligations of special districts and authorities.
Continued population growth in the State, extension
of the recent sharp expansion of urban and suburban
areas, and further increases in the number and relative
importance of school- and college-age youth are expected to create additional heavy , requirements for
municipal borrowing in the future. Recent estimates
indicate that the popUlation of Texas will climb to
11.8 million by 1970 and to nearly 16.0 million by
1985. These estimates anticipate growth for cities and

towns and further losses by rural areas. The college-age
population is expected to increase more than one-half
during the decade of the 1960's, as compared with an
advance of only 5.4 percent from 1950 to 1960.
The expanded volume of municipal securities which
will be generated by these developments will add
further to the totGlI bonded debt of the State and its
agencies and political subdivisions. However, because
of nearly two decades of experience with issuing and
marketing increasing amounts of these debt securities,
municipalities and other borrowers should be in a favorable position to meet their requirements. Individuals, commercial banks, and insurance companies
probably will add the major portion of the new issues
to their investment portfolios.

September registrations of new passenger cars in
four major Texas markets rose 29 percent over September 1961 but were 34 percent below the August 1962
total. The August-September decline follows the annual
pattern usually associated with model change-overs
by manufacturers. For the first 9 months of this year,
the four markets registered substantial gains over the
same period in 1961, including 17 percent for San
Antonio, 22 percent for Houston, 35 percent for Fort
Worth, and 41 percent for Dallas. Cumulative registrations in the 9 months were 33 percent more than in
January-September last year.
Agricultural conditions throughout a large part of the District
were improved by light to heavy
October rains. The precipitation
boosted forage supplies and furnished growing moisture for important fall crops. As
fields dried, harvesting activities moved ahead at a
fast tempo.
Cotton has matured rapidly on the Texas High
Plains with warm temperatures and clear skies. On the
important Southern High Plains, defoliants have been
applied to mature plants, and harvest is active. Gathering of the Blacklands cotton crop has made good
progress between rain showers, and stalk destruction
in south-central Texas is virtually complete. Cotton
harvest in New Mexico has gained momentum, but
progress is behind a year ago.
Cotton production in the District states, as of
October 1, is placed at nearly 6.8 million bales, or
70,000 bales above the preceding month's estimate and

about the same as the 1961 crop. Compared with last
year's output, decreases are reported for all of the
District states except Louisiana (ranging from a fractional decline in Texas to a 9-percent reduction in
Oklahoma); the Louisiana outturn is indicated to be
17 percent larger than in 1961 .
Wet fields have delayed combining of late grain
sorghums in the District states, and harvesting is behind
last year's operations. Grain sorghum production is
estimated at 238 million bushels, which is one-tenth
less than the 1961 outturn. Rice harvest conditions
have been favorable, and combining of the crop is
almost finished . Rice production in Louisiana and
Texas is placed at 31 million bags, or about one-fourth
greater than last year's output.
Drilling of 1963-crop wheat in the District states
is in the final stages. The crop in the Texas Plains
and New Mexico has made good growth, following
early-October rains. Development of oats in the Blacklands has been spurred by heavy rains. Seeding of the
crop is well under way in south and south-central
Texas, but soil moisture is badly needed and armyworms are a serious threat.
Hot, dry weather in the Lower Rio Grande Valley
of Texas during October caused some losses of young
vegetable plants. In the Winter Garden area, vegetables
have made good progress, and cucumber harvest is
well advanced. Digging of the east Texas sweet potato
crop has been in full swing. On the High Plains, lettuce
harvest has been active in the open weather, and picking of tomatoes has been under way, with most of
the crop going to canneries.
Southwestern ranges generally are in fair to good
condition, other than in south Texas and many Edwards Plateau counties. Armyworms have taken a
heavy toll on upper coastal pastures. Except in the
dry areas of the District, cattle mainly are in good
to excellent condition.
Loans and time and savings deposits at the Nation's weekly
reporting member banks expanded during the 4 weeks ended
October 10; investments and
demand deposits declined. The money market reflected
a relatively firm tone during the latter half of September and the first part of October, with Federal
funds generally trading from 23;4 percent to 3 percent.
Activity in the Government securities market was
materially influenced by the Treasury's refinancin,g and

cash borrowing operations. Other market influences
included improved confidence in the international
position of the dollar, less optimistic expectations
regarding the domestic economy, the announcement
of Treasury plans to offer $250 million of long-term
bonds to be sold through competitive bidding, and a
reduction of one-half of 1 percent in the Canadian
bank rate to a level of 5 percent. On October 18, the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System
announced that the reserve requirement on time and
savings deposits would be lowered from 5 percent to
4 percent, effective October 25 for reserve city member
banks and November 1 for country member banks.
Prices of intermediate- and long-term Government
securities rose during the last half of September and
the first part of October. The auction rate on 91-day
Treasury bills declined from 2.796 percent on September 20 to 2.749 percent on October 18, while the
auction rate on 182-day Treasury bills decreased from
2.962 percent to 2.843 percent during the same interval.
At the District's weekly reporting member banks,
investments and deposits expanded but loans declined
in the 4 weeks ended October 17. Cash accounts
moved lower, while total assets increased moderately.

ment notes and bonds due after 5 years. These gains
reflected, in part, the Treasury's recent advance refunding operation and its sale of I-year bills and Tax
Anticipation bills, the latter offering generating considerable District bank interest because of the 100percent tax and loan feature. Non-Government security
holdings, mostly in the municipal bond category, rose
$30.7 million during the 4 weeks. In the comparable
period last year, total investments advanced significantly because of an increase in holdings of Government securities.
Total demand deposits moved upward $81.9 million
at the District's weekly reporting member banks in the
4 weeks ended October 17; the gain was largely
accounted for by an expansion in demand deposits of
the United States Government. Time and savings
deposits climbed $15.0 million, with deposits of individuals, partnerships, and corporations weighing heavily in the increase. During the corresponding period in
1961 , demand deposits and time and savings deposits
also moved to higher levels.
Total reserves at District member banks advanced
moderately during the 4 weeks ended October 3. Excess reserves moved slightly lower, while borrowings
from the Federal Reserve Bank were about unchanged.
District crude oil production in
September, at 2,950,600 barrels

data indicate that District output declined in early

October, but an increase in daily average production
is expected during the shorter month of November.
Louisiana has retained its September-October allowabIes for the November-December period, and the
Texas 8-day pattern, in effect for the prior 9 months,
has been continued. The top unit oil allowable for
southeastern New Mexico has been increased from 35
barrels daily in October to 37 barrels daily in November, principally to offset a production decrease.
Processing of crude oil in the District declined 5
percent in September, following a moderate rise in
August. Refinery activity in early October expanded
somewhat from the reduced level during the latter
part of September. Indicators of District drilling activity weakened significantly in September. Both the
number of wells completed and total footage drilled
in the area declined one-fifth from a month earlier
and were somewhat below a year ago. The number
of rotary rigs active in the District decreased
slightly during the month and was 10 percent below
September 1961 .
New supplies of crude oil in the Nation were reduced
fractionally during September, as a moderate decline
in crude oil imports offset a I-percent increase in
domestic production. Refinery operations in the Nation
weakened slightly during the month; and at the end
of September, national crude oil stock, totaling
about 248 million barrels, were 2 percent above a
month earlier. Early-October trends indicate a slight
increase in crude oil supplies but a reduction in crude
oil demand; stocks at midmonth were moderately above
the mid-September level.
The seasonally adjusted index of demand for the
four major refined products rose 1 point in September

to 108 percent of the 1957-59 base, as a slight decline
in gasoline demand was more than offset by advances
in light and heavy fuel oil usage. Seasonally adj'Jsted
stocks of the four products expanded fractionally
during the month, with the accumulation of gasoline
inventories more than compensating for declines in
stocks of the other major products.
Unusually cool weather in late September provided
a good beginning for the heating oil markets. Kerosene
and distillate fuel oil prices. strengthened, especially in
the Middle West. Somewhat milder weather over much
of the Nation in early October, however, failed to
supply continued stimulus for heating oil demand, but
prices generally were sustained. Gasoline demand rose
contraseasonally in early October, 'bUt: the.te was some
easing in gasoline prices frpm the firm position held
in late September.
The Texas "industrial production
index rose 2 points in September
to an all-time high of 115 percent of the 1957-59 average. The
gain was centered in durable
goods manufacturing, although nondurable goods
manufacturing and mining expanded slightly. Within
the major index components, significant month-tomonth increases were shown in the output of primary
and fabricated metals, furniture and fixtures, and metal,
stone, and earth minerals; on the other hand, production in the transportation equipment and printing and
publishing industries declined. These were the only
industries in which output was reduced, and, in both
cases, the decreases were only fractional. Compared
with the hurricane-affected figures of a year ago, the
index was 11 percent higher.
