million council is told with area experts such a solution didn't seem possible now "It is a bigger task than I first thought" Penny said yesterday "I have talked to a number of pediatri: cians and other emergency experts here and it looks like there is no way this community could set up a similar poison control program in Tarrant County very quickly" The best course of action seemed to be to pay the required fees and let Dallas continue to operate the system he said fiscal year that began Oct I Arlington was assessed $28500 as its share but its council approved only $8500 Center officials said those cities and counties that did not pay their full assessment would be dropped from the hot line "We hope to provide a solution that will use resources we have in Tarrant County to allow us to

city's being honored by Keep Texas Beautiful for beautification efforts by residents and the Clean City cause the budget included a 18 million salary and merit increase "We could not afford such an
