at the City Hall. City Planner William Parker said Tuesday in the absence of a state law giving cities and counties power to regulate subdivision development outside the city limits that objective can only be achieved through the voluntary cooperative effort between the city and county officials. Parker hinted that an effort will be made by city planners in Texas to secure passage of legislation in the 52nd Legislature whereby such problems as layout of streets and selection of school and recreational centers can be controlled by the city and county in a five-mile dis-tance of the city limits. Parker, who recently returned from a planners convention in Los Atigeies, pointea out inai uuiw nia has successfully controlled de velopment adjacent to cities since passage of its Map and Planning Act on Aug. 14, 1929.

In the meeting Thursday night, Parker said, he- will recommend selection of an advisory planning committee composed of city and county officials and several mem bers of the City Plan. Commission to handle details connected with the approval of subdivisions, so that the work of the City Plan Com mission can be expedited, unaar the present system, the City Plan Commission holds one meeting month on subdivision matters. Specific problems mentioned by the city planrver in which the county and city can cooperate include the location of future schools and recreational centers and layout of county roads to link existing city streets and boulevards in a uni form pattern. Parker pointed out that proper Navy Leading Recruit Race The local recruiting office Tues day was leading the other two local stations in the number of men enlisted so far this month. A spokesman from the Navy of fice said 39 men have joined the Navy through his office.

The total number of enlistees recorded at his office during the month of July was 27, he said. The combined recruiting station for the Army and Air Force re ported that 31 men have enlisted through Tuesday. This figure represents 140 per cent of the office's minimum monthly quota of 22, a recruiting official said. Last month's total came to 33 men, he added. The Marine office also has ex ceeded its July total.

Ten men have been accepted through Tuesday for the Marine Corps through the Austin recruiting station as compared to only seven for the entire month of July. REPLACEMENT BY WILLIAM Establishment of WE EG union bus terminal at the city market site at Seventh and East Avenue is not looked on with favor by representa-ties of Austin's two largest bus lines. Expressing their personal viewpoint, T. J. Stambaugh, local terminal manager for Continental Trail-ways, and Perry White, local man ager for Southwestern Greyhound Lines, declared the location is not a desirable one from the standpoint of bus passengers.

HENRY MATTHEWS, manager of Kerrville Bus Company, said his company would be willing to operate from a union bus terminal, but said the East Avenue site presently is "a little out of access" to the shopping district. Matthews pointed out that workers who commute from nearby towns such as Elgin and Bastrop and shoppers these' smaller towns want to disembark from buses in a downtown location convenient to their work and -to the shopping centers. They want, he said, to be spared the expense of cab fare to reach the downtown area. While they did not stress the point, the local managers of Continental and Greyhound lines point-ed out that these two nationally known carriers do not operate out of the same terminals, except in verv rare instances." It is known that Continental Trailways for a "year has been Public Hearing On Paving Plan Sept. 7 Studied The City Council Thursday will consider an ordinance setting a puD-lie hearing for Thursday, Sept.

The additional ballots raised the total to 348 received so far.

The deadline for absentee balloting is 5 p. m. Tuesday. Two years ago, 2,938 absentee ballots were posted over the same period, when there were several local races included in the run-off election. This year, there are only five contests included on the ballot.

All of them are state-wide races. j. that with the completion of the Interregional Highway down East Avenue, the location at East Avenue and East Seventh Streets will be on the highway, making it easier for buses to operate in and out of the terminal. Drake proposed using the jld market as a bus terminal when he came into office as a councilman last May. A master plan for the railroads drawn up a few years ago by the City Plan Commission proposed a union station to be located about Fourth and East Avenue.

Pro ponents of that plan suggested that a section of that site be designated as a union terminal also for bus lines. city planning calls for schools to be located at least one mile apart. The city administration and Austin School Board recently adopted the plan of buying school sites and recreational areas adjacent to each other. This plan, Parker pointed out, provides more usable land at less outlay. The County Commissioners Court now approves subdivision plats for record only after the City Plan Commission has given its approval of any fringe realty development.

The court also has adopted a program of rejecting subdivision plats until provision has been made by the developer for installation of either septic tanks or sanitary sewers. Parker emphasized the import-jo jusiudoiCAap Xjap.io jo aaue these fringe areas. He asserted 15,000 persons are now living just outside tha city's perimeter. These areas? he suggested, may be annexed to the city of Austin in a relatively short time.

Earlier, it had been Indicated that the association might file a court suit to mandamus the council to grant increased salaries for firemen and policemen. The firemen recently filed petitions signed by more than 6.000 persons asking an increase of about 20 per cent in their present pay.

City Manager Walter E. Seaholm announced lists of firemen and policemen are now being checked by the personnel department to de termine how many firemen and policemen fall into various longevity Drackets. The increase in Austin's popula tion over the 100.000 mark under state law entitles firemen and policemen to $15 more base pay per month.
