of Fort Worth. A Paris night club owner was listed in poor condition at McCuistion Regional Medical Center's intensive care unit Tuesday morning after being stabbed by one of his patrons Monday night. According to initial investigation conducted by Officer Jeff Springer, Sidney Berry, owner of the Desperado Club, was at- lemption to break up a fighl between two customers when the slabbing occurred. Springer, who said a number of wilnesses still must be questioned in connection with the incident, told The News that the fight apparently began inside the County Continued From Page 1 helps peoplelhat need help." The commissioner's court agreed to the request and increased the budgeted sum to $4,500 for King's Daughters. After the representatives finished with their presentation the commissioners proceeded through the budget, approving or amending items in it.

Most of Ihe items on the budget were handled with little, if any, controversy. However, when the commissioners reached the tax- assessor-colleclor's budget and sheriff's budget both officials took the opportunity to address the court. John W. (Dub) Williams, county tax assessor-collector, took exception to the commissioners effort to cut his travel expenses money. They had already cut his extra help fund from $6,700 to $2,000.

"I do more traveling in the county doing county businss then Brady (County Judge Brady Fisher) does," Williams said. "I'm not talking about public relations and ribbon cuttings." The commissioners then decided to give Williams 18 cents a mile travel expense rather than a fixed amount but Williams did not agree with that plan either. "If I get in cents a mile then I think Brady should get 18 cents a mile also," Williams added. Fisher told the court that Williams' travel expense should be cut because the county appraisal board will be Council would pay an $8 monthly rate, plus for each additional outlet. They presently pay $6.50 per month and $2 for each additional outlet.

Several members of the council expressed concern that contract holders would feel they were being cheated since their contract states their monthly fee would be $4. Robert McWhirter, a local attorney representing Midwest Video in its rate hike request, told the council, however, that the contracts state that either party may break them on 30 days notice. McWhirter also pointed out to the council that the firm has not requested a rate increase since it began operating in Paris in 1955. He also said that unless the rate increase was approved, the city's chances of having a pay television channel available would diminish. He taking over property appraisals that had been done by Williams' office.

However, Commissioner Doyle Childers told the court that the board will not be going into effect until later next year. After listening to both sides of the argument the commissioners decided to re-instate Williams' travel expense. The amount the court finally budgeted for Williams' office is $80,431.63. When the court reached Sheriff Roger Peterson's budget Peterson told the court that he had already made $23,000 in budget cuts. He then asked the court to re-instate one deputy's position that Fisher had cut from Peterson's proposed budget.

"I worked here four years, building my staff to where I believe it needs to be," Peterson said. "I think I have tried to cut the budget where I can. It will be difficult for me to operate my office with the cuts I've suggested but I will do it somehow." The cuts Peterson had suggested were in his jail, auto and maintenance and office expenses. "We need to get our jail population down to an average of 25 inmates a day, Peterson said. "This will mean I will have to start releasing more people on their personal recognizance.

Recently we've been averaging up to 45 people a Peterson also told the court that he had requested a $4,500 pay increase for himself. However, the commissioners did not agree to that figure and told Peterson he would get the 10 percent increase allotted other county employees. The final amount budgeted for the sheriff's office is $318,535.89. Although the commissioners did not approve Peterson's request for a pay increase they did re-instate his deputy's position. The commissioners gave most of the other offices in the county a pay raise as had been proposed.

All employees with the exception 1 of the justices of the peace and treasurer's office, received a 10 percent increase. The justices and treasurer each received a 15 percent increase. The commissioners allocated $68,416.13 for the county attorney's office. For the county judge's office they budgeted $38,116.17 to operate the office for the coming year. The county clerk was budgeted $106,171.14 and the constables were allocated $50,281.35 in the 1981 budget.

After adding $500 for extra help and another $500 for book binding, the court allocated $75,671.14 district clerk's office. The court then gave the treasurer $14,444.26 to operate on for 1981. Some disagreement had surfaced earlier concerning distribution of the road and bridge fund among the commissioners. However, at the learing the commissioners all agreed to split the $280,000 evenly between the Four commissioners. The budget was then approved and the tax rate set.

From Page 1 said a pay television operation in Paris would require his firm to take a five year loss in revenue. "There's no way the company can absorb the loss of Home Box Office out of a 7.7 percent rate of return," he said. The proposal would mean a rate of return on the firm's investment in Paris of about 12 percent, according to McWhirter. Midwest Video had originally requested a rate increase equal to a 28 percent increase in revenue. That would have meant a monthly fee for both contract and non-contract customers of about $6.

Committee members, however, felt that contract holders should still pay a smaller monthly fee and adjusted the jroposa! in an earlier committee neeting. The Council unanimously voted to lold a public hearing on the issue and prepare an ordinance authorizing he new rate. Continued From Page 1 County.

NEW YORK (AP) Ronald Reagan has strengthened his support a bit in the suburbs, while Jimmy Carter picked up some backing among blue- collar workers. And John Anderson slipped a little more. The patterns of support for the presidential candidates have shifted slightly over the past few weeks of the presidential campaign, the latest Associated Press-NBC News poll says, but overall standings haven't changed much.

Reagan still holds a lead over Carter, with Anderson far behind. More Americans have decided in the last few weeks whom they are going to vote for on election day, but their decisions are not accompanied by much enthusiasm for the candidates, as concerns about them persist. The public is concerned about Reagan's understanding or lack of understanding of the nation's problems, and voters fear he might take the country into war. But they don't think much of Carter's first years in office nor the way he has run his campaign for re-election. Asked their choice if the presidential election were held now, Reagan was chosen by 43 percent of the likely voters.

Carter was named by 35 percent and Anderson by 10 percent. One percent mentioned others and 11 percent of the 1,548 likely voters interviewed nationwide by telephone Wednesday through Friday were not sure.
