City Council makes donations In a fast-paced meeting Tuesday night Del Rio City Councilmen approved additional funding for the Val Verde County Child Welfare Board, agreed to donate $500 toward MAST (Military Air Support to Traffic) service and voted to assist with school district paving work.

At the same time the council adopted an administrative recommendation to increase fees for paving petitions. The child welfare board, represented by the Rev. Joe Walts, requested per month in addition to the $200 budgeted by the city. County officials, who helped to support the service board, approved the increase on Monday. The city council instructed City Manager Jim Miceli to take the in- (Continued from Page 1 A) Worley, chairman of the defunct board, if the board would be willing to continue to serve while the city worked out the necessary legal steps.

Worley drew a laugh from councilmen and others attending by saying "we've been operating illegally for sometime." By council directive, city administrators will draw up an ordinance to put a utility fund for the airport into action. The ordinances will be brought before the council as soon as possible. In addition to Worley, Lee Weathersby, James, Leonard, Robin Robb and George Whitehead served on the airport board. Lee Thomas and Charles Moore are the only members of the Airport Board of Adjustment. Three posts are vacant under the structure of that body.

An airport zoning board made up of five members was also part of the city-county operation of the airport. It was recommended by Councilman Garry Kyle that duties of this board be delegated to the city's Planning and Zoning Commission. The airport zoning board includes Dwight Sullivan, Alfredo DeLeon, Simon Torres Virgilio Luna and Frank Mendoza. other business during Tuesday's council meeting, Councilman Ellis requested a study by new City Planner Murray Kaplan regarding water wells and septic systems within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. Ellis said such a survey would help the city prepare for growth and protect the city's water supply regarding the possibility of revoking the franchise recently signed with General Telephone Company.

Ellis cited recent service outage due to damage cable in the northern section of town as a breach of the franchise. Jail (Continued from Page 1 A) owned by the county. Corbett said the facility could be built by a private investor and purchased by the county on a five to seven-year lease-purchase contract. The jail would be built to state and federal regulations so the county could contract to hold federal prisoners. This, Corbett said, would allow the county to pay for the construction of the facility through money gained in the federal contract.

The proposed facility is designed to hold 100 federal and 80 county prisoners. If the county approves construction of the facility, the renovated jail, located in the courthouse, would become a temporary holding area for prisoners. The remedial order that would have closed the Val Verde County Jail today was stayed pending itemized action by the county on the five cited deficiencies. Sheriff J.R. Koog told the commission that the county has achieved partial compliance in those areas and still is working toward total com- crease from the interim budget's contingency fund and to consider increased funding when the next fiscal year begins Oct.

i. MAST, a helicopter airlift service which operates in a 40-county area surrounding San Antonio, seeks some $40,000 to purchase communications and blood pressure equipment. Attempts to obtain the funding through military sources have been unsuccessful, according to Martha Koska of the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Kerrville, leaving MAST to seek support from the communities it serves. The $500 donation from the City of Del Rio half of the $1,000 requested from the Val Verde County area. MAST's request is expected to come before county commissioners at their July 6 meeting.

Assistance to the school district will focus on driveways and parking lots at seven San Felipe Del Rio Consolidated Independent School District locations. City crews will repairs on a "time available" basis, with the school district reimbursing the city for materials and labor. Sites include the district tax office, 215 Garfield, Del Rio High School, Memorial Elementary, Eighth Grade Campus, Lamar, Garfield and East Side elmentary schools. Increases in paving costs to be charged by the city will not affect the school work. Ordinance 81-22, which was approved unanimously, sets new fees for paving and curb projects done on a petition basis.

In a memo to the council, Miceli explained that present charges for paving streets and alleys and installing curbs were set in 1973. These fees, Miceli said "are not providing sufficient revenues to cover the costs incurred by the city for the work." As a result, Miceli continued "the city is losing money on each project and the projects are drawing support from the general tax rate." The 1973 fees called for an assessment for $1.25 per front foot for paving $.50 per front foot for curbing. The new ordinance sets fees of $3.50 per foot for street paving, $1.50 for alley paving ans $1.50 for curbing. Garcia told Ellis the possibilities are very slim. "There are a lot of big ifs," Garcia said, explaining that the city would have to convince the Texas Public Utilities Commission to revoke GTE's certificate of need and find a replacement company.

Councilman 'Kyle questioned whether police and fire department tests being given to new recruits and employees seeking promotions were relevant to "a city our size." He said he had been told that questions on the tests involved knowledge that might be necessary for a firefighter or law enforcement officer in a large city, but not needed in Del Rio. Miceli said the tests are standardized tests, purchased by the city. said the city is.now in the process of preparing reports on the current tests and evaluating possible alternative sources of test materials. The tests are handled through the city's Civil Service Commission. PRACTICING FOR THE FOURTH Dancers are already preparing for the annual Red, White and Blue Revue to celebrate July 4 in Del Rio.

Of the five areas cited, the county complies totally in only one by providing adequate inmate supervision to meet state jail guidelines.

The county has partially complied with plumbing and electrical safety system requirements but has not installed an, audio communications system or smoke and fire alarms. Commission Chairman Andy McCullum told County officials, "Given your good faith to make these improvements, we are willing to work with you on a meeting-by-meeting basis." However, the commission urged the county to install smoke and fire detectors in the jail as soon as possible saying that the county would face serious problems if a fire occurred and the jail was without the required safety equipment. Koog said the equipment would be installed by the August jail standards meeting, "if I have to put it in myself." County Commissioners Simon Torres and Ricardo Padilla also attended the meeting. Windfall tax exemption bill killed by committee WASHINGTON (AP) An amendment to exempt most independent oil producers and royalty owners from the Windfall Profits Tax was apparently killed today in the Senate Finance Committee. The vote was 8-5 against the proposal of Sen.

Lloyd Bentsen, with seven votes still uncast by late morning. But aides to the Texas Democrat said the margin appeared too big to overcome. Bentsen, in a five-minute talk before his colleagues, argued that his legislation would increase U.S. oil production by 204,000 barels a day by 1984, The amendment would exempt from the Windfall Prof its Tax the first 1,000 barrels of daily oil production for independent producers and royalty owners. Bentsen pledged to take his amendment before the full Senate and seek approval there.

"The exemption for independent' producers is needed to increase domestic oil production. The exemp- tionfor royalty owners is a matter of simple equity," Bentsen said.

San Antonio Women United announced it would conduct a mock funeral procession with a symbolic coffin to protest what they claim is Reagan's disregard for women's rights. Jaime P. Martinez, president of the local International Union of Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers, AFL-CIO, said the union would protest Reagan's domestic policies. "The programs will help the wealthy and hurt the poor," Martinez said.

A third demonstration was planned by protesters of U.S. weapons policies. SAN ANTONIO, Texas (AP) in an alleged threat incident, the Secret Service today ordered a 49-year-old woman held by police until after the departure of President Ronald Reagan. San Antonio Police Lt. Javier Moreno said the woman, whose identity was withheld pending formal charges, allegedly made a threat against the president at a downtown hotel early today.

Moreno said the woman may be an escaped mental patient. Officers were checking records of several hospitals. Sgt. Leo Brown, manning the police complaint desk at the time the woman was taken into custody, said he knew the woman from past incidents. "She's been handled before," Brown said, but he would not elaborate.

Moreno said police were called to E) Tropicano Hotel at 5:20 a.m. to investigate a loud disturbance near the swimming pool. Security guards reported the woman was not a registered guest and was asked to leave, but she allegedly told the guards before leaving, "I'm tired of this town. I'm going to shoot the president and then leave this town.".
