2 Amarillo Globe-Times Thursday, August 7, 19S9 By THOMAS THOMPSON Two of the northern counties of the Panhandle refused to buy the Texas Water Plan. They were Dallain and Roberts. The margin of approval was fairly narrow in same other northern and eastern counties. Support of the plan was i i southern irrigated counties. Deaf Smith County was strong for the plan, voting 1,203 for and 87 against.

In Amarillo, the south part of town went big for the Water Plan. Only one precinct turned it down but the proposition won by only a few votes hi some of the "Ernie" called. precincts, so- T--T My guess is that the plan will be resubmitted to the voters in a couple of years. Meanwhile, the "educational" campaign will be stepped up. Not all of the coastal cities were dead set against the plan.

While Houston turned it down five-to-one, sentiment for the plan was fairly strong in the Beaumont, Port Arthur area. The margin might not have been five-to-one in Houston if the Water Plan hadn't fallen victim to a newspaper fight. The Houston Chronicle went all out in support of the plan and belatedly the Houston Post an- ccnt his Monday-Friday waking hours In traffic.

T--T A reader, a high school student, called to ask from what poem of Samuel Taylor Coleridge came the quote: "We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea." The quote is from "The Ehymc of the Ancient Mariner," and Fred Tripp, Globe-Times staffer, had it ready in advance in case the moon landing was successful. The quote appeared at the top of page one in the Globe-Times, July 21st, the day that Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin Jr. blasted from the Sea adjust zoning and platting fees to a sliding scale, and increase transit charter rates.

This would bring in an estimaed $12,750. --Recreation fees committee: Increase green fees at golf course by 15 cents both weekdays and weekends, increase fees for changing range at rifle range southwest of the city from 25 cents to 50 cents, increase annual family and adult permits and increase the daily fee to 50 cents at the Tennis Center, increase swimming fees, and increase fees for use of ball fields. These changes would increase revenue by about 840,000.
