Nevertheless, Bumgardner sail he felt the county "can afford" to provide both the additional coverage and the life insurance.

"Therefore, no fiscal implication is associated with adoption of this provision," the statement said. Bullock's size-up, however, says the provision "is clearly mandatory enough to lead to increased state expenditure-whether direct costs, state bond Jssues or revenue bonds of significant, long range proportions." Creighton complained about the staff's failure to estimate future costs of an "equal educational opportunity" requirement.

The statement says such a policy was adopted and implemented by this year's legislature, and any future impact' "would have to do with the distribution of state school aid rather than the total amount of state school aid."

He said this would facilitate delivering students to area schools and benefit some other traffic, but other council members said they have had complaints already that use of Guy Grant-wWch runs through Shenandoah Subdivision already is creating traffic problems, and that paving would further increase the traffic.

The proposed constitution provides for one value for each piece of property to be used by all taxing agencies and based on market value. The agencies would still have the ability to adjust their tax rates within prescribed limits under the new provisions, and would still be able tb.base their taxes on a Houston To Plan By MARY BAKER PHILLIPS Advocate Staff Writer PORT LAVACA Architect Chris Di Stefano of Houston was employed to make preliminary plans for a new city hall complex on a 4-2 vote by the City Council Monday night. Voting for the proposal were Wilburn Oehlke, who made the motion, W. R.

Zwerschke, who seconded it, John Calzada and Leonard Buren. Daryl Smith and Paul Gary voted against it. Smith, who asked for a discussion before a vote was taken, said he felt there were other things more important at this time than a new city hall. Gary said lie felt it should be delayed for further study and a reaction from the taxpayers on the project before making any commitment. "I am having a hard time setting a priority on this," Smith said.

"I under took this job knowing I represented 10,000 persons. I asked 35-40 persons about a new city hall and everyone was against it at this time. I feel we should give something back to the people instead of a new building for city employes. "We need a mowing machine to. cut the weeds on vacant lots and can't Sfford it.We need to correct rainage problems where four feet of water collects in one street during a rain which is a real hazard Downtown needs attention.

Before we obligate the city for this sort of money, I think we should look at the problems already facing us." Oehlke said while he could not disagree with Smith, he still felt the city needed a new city ball complex and they should start planning for it. The mayor concurred. City Manager Mike Gibson, who presented the proposal, said the cost of the new complex was estimated at $750,000, and that it would paid for with revenue sharing funds. He pointed out that the city still had approximately $200,00 due from funds already allocated. A suggestion to wait until after the new year to see if congress renewed the revenue sharing funds program before making any commitment was disregarded.

Gibson said Di Stefano's fee would be based on eight per cent of the construction cost if construction materialized, or 35 per cent of eight per cent if only drawings were provided. The citizens advisory committee's recommendation for General Telephone Company's rate increase request was delayed, until the next meeting -for further study. Service awards were presented to 12 city employes by Gibson. Recipients were Justo Leal, 20 years; Etta Priddy, J.C. Caarlock, 15 years; T.

B. Hargrove, George Wunderlich and W. T. Steen, 10 years; Guadalupe Quintanilla Jose Pena, Mary Kurtz, Celestino Mechaca, Joyce Carr and Billy Roberts, five years. An ordinance prescribing rules and regulations for utilities making application for the remaining development workTo give the commissioners an idea of the work which may be done he gave a slide, presentation of several modern parks.

i It was noted, too, that employes will receive the fringe benefit without being liable for income tax on the amount. The county is paying and will continue to pay the premium for the employe, but those who want coverage for spouses and children must pay for this portion, and Judge Bumgardner noted that a majority of those with family members enrolled had favored the in crease. -The additional coverage will cost the city $3.55 per month, making a total cost of $19.03 per employe for approximately 150 county employes. Concerning revenue sharing, which both the city and county credit with saving taxpayers either from a tax increase or a severe reduction in services, the court authorized Bumgardner to write letters once again to Texas congressmen urging renewal of the Local Fiscal Assistance Act of 1972 without major changes. The act is to expire next year unless renewed by Congress, 'and Bumgardner cited a letter tust received from Sen.

Bill irock of a supporter of the program, who said it faces the danger of being eliminated or sharply restricted (as to use of funds) without broad public support. Congressional liberals want to limit use of funds to strictly social programs, if the program is renewed at all, and Sen. Brock said in a letter to the court this would reduce the program "to just another block grant program" in the poverty-welfare Commissioners earlier had adopted a resolution calling for renewal of revenue sharing, but Bumgardner said he felt a further expression is needed. PARK (Continued From Page 1A) and bike trail. Mrs.

Hogan said De-Go-La is interested in making improvements on a boat ramp which is located at Riverside, Park. She said that this should not stop the local park commission from filing for an application with the state for funds to build a new boat ramp. Dan Clark, parks commission director, said that he had received a letter from the Texas Park and Wildlife Department stating funds are available for the construction of a ramp if the city provides the property and the city council approves a resolution on the facility. Clark said he also must fill in an application to be sent to the state agency. The park commissioners gave him authority to do so.

At the meeting, Mrs. Esther Martinez, a representative of Ekstrum Neighborhood Council, a city proverty target area, received approval for her organization to use Community Center property for a playground. Mrs. Martinez explained the neighborhood council would use the property on weekends when the center is not being used for public functions. She said the neighborhood council has playground equipment it can set up and take down for this purpose.

"We would like to eventually Include children from all of the neighborhood councils in the city," she said adding the playground' would be open to children aged eight to 13. Clark told commissioners much of the grading work at Hopkins Park has beejl done, and plans need to be made for' Bullock, however, said the $100 million in "equalization aid" voted this year was only a "minimal example" of what would be spent in the future if the education article of the new constitution is adopted. "I can see you gave no consideration to his findings at -all," Creighton complained. "Do you think there is anything we do here this morning that is going to satisfy you?" Hobby asked. "No," said Creighton.

CLAYTON (Continued From Page 1A) much less a $6 billion-a-year business like the state government, by meeting only once every two years," Clayton added. "They (the opponents of the new document) have blown the cost out of proportion." The speaker said the actual cost of the new constitution, if passed, will depend on "who you send to Austin." "With the present people in Austin, it would be a saving," he stated. Like the present constitution, the state government would continue to be a "pay-as-you-go" operation under the new document, according to Clayton. "A lot of people have the wrong idea about it because there have been some pot-shots taken which aren't based on fact," he said. "When we are able to talk with the people, we get a good response." On a different subject, Clayton said he hasn't had time to study the state attorney general's recent ruling on school fees to comment on it, but noted that he hadn't heard any complaints from the schools in his district.

don't know if they (the school districts) have enough money in their budgets to handle this," he said, "but knowing the governor as 1 do, I doubt he would call a special session." Clayton also said the attorney general's recent opinion overruling the speaker's "thoughts" on limiting the proposed short sessions of legislature in the new constitution "doesn't shake me any." After spending the night in Victoria, Clayton will hit the road again Tuesday morning to spread "the truth" in another part of the state. Studied adopted a recommendation by Councilman Gene Hobbs that signs prohibiting threshing of pecans be posted in DeLeon Plaza. Threshing of pecan trees on city property already is punishable by fine of up to $200, but Hobbs said the signs still are needed. On another point, he said that since his last comment about the sidewalk In the vicinity Vickers Elementary School on Glascow he has observed "100 per cent compliance" by students. Hobbs complained students were not using the sidewalk which the city built.

Public Works Director Nolen Cbafin added that city crews "are hand cleaning" the sidewalk the city built for the schools between Rowland and Howell on Leary Lane. lUlliCl 111 VI U1JC1U1 if Oil. 1958. Survivors are the husband and two sisters, Mrs. Rudolph Miller of Nixon and Mrs.
