Commissioners moved quickly through a routine 13-item agenda to approve in a 3-1 vote the warehouse proposal presented to them in a letter from H. H.

Alexander, center director. In opposing the addition, Pet. 4 commissioner Richard Moya said he felt the employe could be provided through some federal agency at no expense to the county. The letter also made requests for an additional case worker at the center and a pay raise for some present employes. i Commissioners postponed both the items.

Pet. 3 Commissioner Johnny Voudouris presented a motion to refuse the pay increases pointing out that commissioners had refused pay raises for other county employes. The motion died for lack of a second. Commissioners told reporters that the present grand jury investigation probably would not influence the courthouse space study. They authorized the architectural firm of Landes, Goodman and Youngblood to conduct that study in October at a cost of! $9,000.

Both Moya and Voudoris! indicated they are dissatisfied; with that study. Moya said he; would be interested to know the! grand jury's findings "they apparently have more power to find out what's going, on than we do." Voudouris said the one report submitted by the firm "didn't tell us any more than we already knew." In other action, commissioners increased minimum rates for doing soil conservation work and hauling water for county residents. 1 Lt. Col. H.

Andrews said the final check on the figures should be completed at the end of the week. Officials of TEI also refused to tell newsmen of the company's operating costs in January.

Scott Keller, president of TEI, said, "I'd rather you get the information from the city." Mayor Travis LaRue said he had not seen the preliminary report. "The subsidy is still cheaper than the $2 million we would have had to pay last summer," the mayor said. TEI took over the bus operation August 1, 1970 when Austin Transit told the city to either buy the company or it would pull out. TEI jumped into the void and ran buses until Dec. 31 when the city agreed to pay it a subsidy to keep buses on the streets.

Bus Meeting In St. Louis Called Off City Manager Lynn Andrews postponed Monday a scheduled trip to St. Louis on Tuesday to discuss the bus problem with the officials of American Transit because of the illness of City Attorney Don Butler. Butler, who has the flu, had been scheduled to accompany Andrews to St. Louis to continue negotiations with American Transit, the former owners of Austin Transit.

Andrews would not indicate whether the city is close to an agreement with the transit company over bus operations in Austin and said "we're still talking to them." Andrews said that the trip would be re-scheduled for a future date.

Spurr said he "would not have given up a very happy-job in Michigan if he hadn't felt there was "enough common ground between the view of the people as exemplified by the regents and the views of the faculty and students for a president to stand on." Spurr was asked Sunday if he had received any assurances that he would be spared the a 1 interference in the day-to-day affairs of UT Austin that the last two presidents had faced.

He replied, "In talking to regents, administration and a few students I found there was a great deal of promise here and some chance that despite my limited abilities, I might be successful." Has he had any assurances from Erwin that the chairman would take a less active role in university business? "I have had contact with a great number of people and I treasure their confidences," he said. Spurr. who met with administrators, faculty and some students on the UT Austin campus in early February, said Sunday, "I have been most favorably impressed with the caliber of the student body and the administration and the quality of the institution."
