Victoria Advocate from Victoria, Texas • 7

THE VICTORIA ADVOCATE, Wednesday, May 10, 1989-7A Suit Transferred TV License the defendants, Victoria County officials, were trying to answer the suit through an improper counterclaim in state courts. Chilcoat, who listed himself as an Oklahoma and Texas resident, also alleged he had been deprived of his racially-based civil rights under federal laws. Federal jurisdiction was required, Chilcoat alleged, to provide a forum for hearing allegations about violations of those rights. The airport commission's suit alleged Chilcoat, as lessee of the Victoria Airport Apartments, had failed to pay five months' rental payments of $2,300 and a utility bill of $2,095. A Victoria businessman, James E.

Chilcoat, Tuesday transferred a civil case for damages involving the Victoria County Airport Commission from justice of the peace court, precinct 4, to federal court. Victoria County Airport Commission, a county agency, had filed the case seeking payment of more than $13,500 in alleged back rentals and utility fees in the justice of the peace court. In removing the case to federal jurisdiction, Chilcoat pointed out that the case involved the same issues over which he had filed suit in federal court several days ago. He alleged Mvocat.

The zoo's colony dwindled to one following the 1987 flood of the Guadalupe River. To help rebuild the colony, the zoo acquired five from the Des Moines, Iowa, zoo, and one each from a San Antonio location, a Fort Lauderdale Fla.

resident and a Houston resident. A short time later, the zoo was home to 19 adult and baby prairie dogs, Mrs. Mead said. To help ease the crowding, in October 1988, they shipped six two adults and four young to the Pittsburgh Zoo. The black tailed prairie dog colony at the Texas Zoo has gone from near destruction to overpopulation.

And this spring the lively animals are busy caring for their young as the colony continues to grow. At last count there were 10 baby prairie dogs romping around with their parents. Zoo officials aren't sure how many babies there are since the pups stay underground until they are old enough to come out, and then they don't all come out at one time. Officials arrived at the current figure by counting them as they played above ground at the same time. Jackie Mead, zoo executive director, estimates the bunch that are now Sandlin, president of J.B.

Approval by the FCC has been an issue in the longstanding case involving KAVU-TV's corporate parent, Community Broadcasting Corp. of Coastal Bend, and a group of investors who had alleged securities fraud. In new documents describing settlement efforts, attorneys for the investors advised U.S.

District Judge George P. Kazen of Laredo that the bank is expected to obtain the station's broadcasting license in 45 to 75 days. A state district court suit in Nueces County involving the station's owners has reached "a full and complete settlement," the documents advised, and that settlement was a condition for approval of the license's transfer. Dudley McDougal and others in an investors' group had sued Community Broadcasting, John O. Scott, Anthony Constant, George Constant, Ruth Constant, Ira Jackson and two corporations over alleged fraud in investments involving the station.

In the new documents, the attorneys advised that all the parties had reached a tentative settlement in the federal court case, pending the settlement of the state district court suits over similar issues. If the federal court case goes to trial, it will involve "a series of complicated securities and fiduciary issues which will likely involve as many as 25 witnesses and several expert witnesses." The attorneys asked the court for a 90-day delay in the case's schedule, which is approaching a July 31 pretrial order. Firm Asking For Judgment An equipment leasing company has asked a federal judge to issue a default judgment against a former Victoria law firm, Scott, Robins and McKay. The plaintiff, Equitable Lomas Leasing advised the court that the firm had never filed a response to the suit and that the deadline for a default judgment had passed. Equitable Lomas is seeking more than $26,000 in damages from the firm and three Victoria attorneys over an alleged default on payments on a leased copier.
