Excise phone tax continues The excise tax included with next year's telephone bills sent by the Guadalupe Valley Telephone Cooperative, will remain the same.

However, the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Bill, which was signed into law on Dec. 5, delayed the phase-out process for the excise tax. In the absence of further legislation, the Excise Tax rate on Communications Service is now scheduled to be reduced to 1 percent on Jan. 1, 1982.

Sodawater Coffee Roast Families' claim settled LUBBOCK (AP) The families of three firemen who died of carbon-monoxide poisoning while wearing airpacks made by Scott Aviation will receive an estimated $4.3 million from the company, attorneys have announced. Lawyers for the three widows and representatives of the Ohio-based company presented the out-of-court settlement Tuesday to U.S. District Judge Halbert 0. Woodward. The case was scheduled to be tried next month in federal court here.

Families of the three men filed suit against Scott Aviation in June 1979, claiming that the airpacks the firemen wore were defective, attorneys said. Firemen Kenneth Haggard, 34, Eddie Swafford, 30, and Larry Tucker, 25, passed out while fighting a one-alarm blaze at a Lubbock restaurant in March 1979. The unconscious men were pronounced dead on arrival at a Lubbock hospital. Officials said the firemen apparently were overcome by a combination of smoke and carbon monoxide, even though they were wearing airpacks. Representatives of Scott Aviation Co.

contacted the families several weeks ago and proposed the settlement, said Dicky Grigg, an Austin attorney representing the widows.
