received, $4.5 million in general obligation and
utility bonds on June 29 at 7:30 p.m.
Councilmen Jim Dozier and Alvin Prause were
absent from the Tuesday meeting.
The council also approved a detailed 42 -page
official report containing financial and
biographical information on the city.
Under the council's action, the city will have an
option to redeem the 10 -year bonds after five years
and re- finance the unpaid half.
Financial advisors and city officials agreed the
possible re- financing may bring a lower interest
rate and save the city funds.
The bonds could only be re- funded if the city
demonstrated to the state attorney general's office
that interest costs would decrease.
City officials and their financial advisors have
scheduled a trip to New York June 11 -12 for meeting
with major bond rating firms.
The city's current bond ratings are "A -1" and
"AA" for utility system revenue bonds and "A -1"
and "A +" for general obligation bonds.
The general obligation bond proceeds would pay
for repaving and improvements already under way
on Texas Avenue and FM 2154.

Garbage rates,
Raintree zoning
on CS agenda
Two rezonings on Raintree subdivision property
and a 50 -cent increase in residential garbage rates
face consideration Thursday at the College Station
City Council meeting.
The rezonings are on 14 lots and a 3 -acre tract in
Raintree Section 4 where developer Eddie Schultz
proposes to have townhouses built.
Several residents of the subdivision expressed
opposition to the two rezonings during a planning
and zoning commission hearing "on the matter last
month.
The commission recommended the council deny
the rezoning requests.
Also at its 7 p.m. meeting in city hall, the council
will consider raising the monthly residential
garbage collection fee from $3.50 to $4.
The council initially discussed the residential
and other garbage fee increases in April when the
city was faced with expected capital costs of more
than $400,000 for a new landfill site and equipment.
However, the costs have since been covered
with contingency funds and issuance of a cer-
tificate of general obligation.
The proposed fee increases for businesses,
schools and other larger garbage - producing
customers have been dropped, said City Manager
North Bardell, because of the capital costs
reductions.
A charge for dumping roll -off containers used in
construction projects at the city landfill will also
be considered. The proposed cost for the dumps is
$2.55 per cubic yard of loose materials and $5.10
per cubic yard of compacted materials.
The council will also consider funding for
several additions to the utility, sanitation and
hotel -motel funds in the 1981 -82 fiscal year.
It is also scheduled to award bids totaling more
than $155,000 for electric transformers, con-
ductors and switchgear at Post Oak Mall.

justified because those employees are difficult to
keep employed. But, he added, the city has no
problem retaining administrators. "I can't see
how under these conditions we can justify salary
increases of 25 to 60 percent," he said. .
Mayor Gary Halter told Dozier the councilman
should have attended a previous council meeting
when the administrators' salaries were discussed.
Dozier admitted he was "remiss" in not at-
tending the meeting, but said he was out of town.
"I'm just stating this is why I'm voting against the
budget," he said. "It's a matter of personal belief
on my part."
Halter and council members Larry Ringer, Pat
Boughton, Tony Jones and Alvin Prause voted for
the budget. Councilman Bob Runnels was out of
town.
The approved budget does not include the city's
annual payment, $28,256 in 1981 -82, to the Bryan -
College Station Chamber of Commerce for tourist
and convention promotions.
However, city officials said that payment has
not been eliminated, but only placed in fund
balances to be approved at a later time.
Dozier, who first questioned what the chamber
does for the city in a council meeting earlier this
month, said he was uncertain whether the
chamber funds should be eliminated.
Mayor Halter said city officials are to meet with
chamber representatives to discuss the payment.
Among the items the council approved in the
budget was a 9- passenger $11,846 van for city
officials' tours and trips, gasoline pump controls
81 for $13,000, a city mapping program for $60,000
and several new staff positions.
In other business, the council instructed city
staffers to study reported drainage problems
largely in the Southwood Valley area.
Several residents of the area showed
photographs and slides to the council of over-
flowing creeks and streets resulting from heavy
rains early this month.
The residents said they hoped the city could
provide some temporary relief in the form of
clearing out ditches at bridges and other sites and
begin a long -range study of the problem.
Halter said he would like to view the area before
making a decision on the city's involvement in
reducing the drainage woes.
City officials are to give the council a list of
options and costs for solving the drainage problem
at a July 8 workshop session.
On another flood - related item, the council ap-
proved a new flood plain ordinance which copies a
provision submitted to the city by federal
authorities.
The city ordinance contains minor changes
from the previous ordinance and was adopted to
meet federal guidelines, officials said.

The City of College Station plans to take bids
Thursday morning on one of two certificates of
obligation it will use to pay for the $1.58 million
purchase of 1,266 acres in southern Brazos County.
City Manager North Bardell said the city will take
on a $284,712 note at 10 a.m., Thursday.
That figure is the down payment the city has
agreed to pay R.F. "Bob" Spearman, a local
developer, on the purchase of the large tract,
located between Texas 6 and Rock Prairie Road
about three miles south of the city.

City Council is scheduled to vote g
meeting Thursday on issuing that certificate of
obligation and another to Spearman himself for
financing the land purchase.
• . The two certificates are, in effect, separate loans
that the city will borrow to finance the purchase.
Bardell said the $284,712 certificate would be
issued, upon council approval, to the lender offer-
ing the lowest- interest rate. The winning bidder,
likely a financial institution, would provide the city
with funds for the down payment.
The city would then pay off the loan to the in-
stitution in 10 years with the first payment due in a 5 " n o

for connections to the tract.
For water service, the city will probably build a
line to the site jointly with Wellborn Water Supply
Corp. which currently serves the area, Halter said.
The city would also have to build sewer lines or an
additional plant . on site to bring that service to the
tract, he added.
Costs on utility extensions to the tract will
"represent no burden to present taxpayers"
because of the city's pro -rata ordinance which
passes on the bulk of those costs to developers and
eventually property owners, Halter said.
The city's other financial cost for the tract, the
puchase price, will also cause no tax burden, of-
ficials said.
The city will issue a certificate of obligation to
University National Bank, the low bidder, for
$284,062. That certificate will cover a down pay-
ment to Spearman.
The city will pay off the certificate in 10 annual
payments totaling $428,579. That is based on
UNB's 9.25 percent interest rate, about 4 percen-
tage points lower than rates offered by College Sta-
tion Bank and Republic Bank A &M.
The city will issue another certificate to Spear-
man for $1,297,000 for the balance of the purchase
cost. The city will pay off that certificate in seven
years with payments totaling $1,948,901. The in-
terest rate will be 12 percent.
The city's first payments on the two certificates,
due next July, will amount to $383,964.
The city hopes it receives revenues from sale or
lease of the land in time to offset those payments,
officials said. If not, it expects sales and ad
valorem taxes and other revenues from vast com-
mercial and residential expansion in the city the �Q 1
coming year will cover the early payments.
However, the city is authorized under an or-
dinance passed earlier this month to raise taxes if ;�� n 1
needed to pay for the land purchase. 'f
In addition to the 1,266 -acre tract, the city and ag 18

Water supply
1
pp y
critical in CS
By FRITZ LANHAM
and FRANK MAY
Staff Writers
The College Station water supply has become
"very, very critical" and city officials sent police
and firefighters to the streets today to stop outside
water usage.
City Manager North Bardell said this morning
residents should eliminate outside watering and
heavily conserve household uses. He made the
plea after learning that Texas A &M University
had cut off a water supply line to the city's system.
The university cut back the city's supply after
one of its top producing wells had to be shut down
about noon Thursday.
The university supplies the city with about seven
million gallons daily and also sells water to the
Wellborn Water Supply Corp. The city was get -
ting only about four million gallons from the
A &M system this morning.
A &M officials are not sure what went wrong
with the well or when it will be returned to service.
Joe J. Estill, director of the university's physical
plant department, said tat Well No. 6 had to be
shut down when it began pumping up water con-
taining silt and sand. �.
Experts were scheduled to begin work today try-
ing to determine what the problem is, Estill said.
Dan Whitt, secretary- treasurer of the Wellborn
Water Supply System, also issued an appeal to
county residents served by that system to refrain
from outside water use and conserve in every other
way until further notice.

If the return of Texas A &M students results in a
dramatic increase in water consumption in College
Station, a total ban on outside watering might be
put into effect, City Manager North Bardell says.
Beginning the week of Aug. 24, returning univer-
sity students will begin swelling the off - campus
population of College Station by 15,000 to 18,000.
"We are unable to predict what demand that
might place on our system," Bardell said today.
The addition of some 1,200 new housing units in the
city since last fall, plus last August's rainfall, make
it difficult to foretell this year's consumption based
on last year's experience, he said.
"The first thing we would do would be to ask for
voluntary compliance (on a total ban on outside
watering)," Bardell said. "Mandatory controls
would be an absolute last step."
There is "no question" but that eliminating all
outside watering would solve the problem, he said,
noting that consumption dropped from about 7
million gallons a day to 4.5 million earlier this
month when residents were asked to curtail outside
watering. If voluntary conservation can result in a
similar percentage decrease when A &M students
return, the city would have enough water for essen-
tial purposes even though consumption might re-
main in the 7 million gallons a day range, he said.
Meanwhile, a second A &M well stopped produc-
tion briefly Thursday morning when a motor on a
pump "burned out," reducing the city's already
critical water supply by three million gallons.
College Station immediately increased its pur-
chases from the City of Bryan to a rate of 1.5
million gallons daily, Bardell said. But by mid-
afternoon, a replacement motor for the A &M well
was installed and normal production resumed, he
added.
However, the city will still buy large quantities of
water from Bryan because its 3.5 million gallon a
day supply from A &M is inadequate to meet cur-
rent consumption of about six million gallons daily,
he noted.

•Increasing the utility pole attachment charge to

Texas A &M well Thursday smelled relief for We ci-
ty's water supply dilemma.
Consumption for the 24 -hour period ending at 8
a m. Thursday was 4.16 million gallons, a slight in-
crease over the 4 million gallons teear,ded for the
previous day but well below earlier les els of 6
million gallons a day.
Meanwhile, worker„ with Smith Pump Co. sealed
the shaft of the A &M No. 6 well that skopped its 3
million gallon a day production two weeks ago, set-
ting off voluntary conservation on c►ftlpus and in
the city.
On Monday, Mayor Gary Halter im-Qosed an of-
ficial ban on outside wateridg in the i:ity. Since
then, daily consumption dropred about two million
gallons.
But the mandatory controls will continue at 1e _st
to the weekend, City Manager North Bartell said.
"We want to wait until the situation-is stable and
open it back up (to unrestricted use) on a slow
basis," he said.
He and other water system offi;ialsare concern-
ed about the A &1.1 well that is to resumeprodttetion
this weekend.
Joe J. Estill, A &M physical plant director, said
Smith Pump Co. workers placed a "sand; seal" on

steadily to 4 million gallons on Sept.. 9, about a

however, that some.rainfall during that period
have led to the lower consumption.

Water ban

By FRANK MAY
Staff Writer
College Station Mayor Gary Halter Monday par-
_ tially Lifted the mandatory water conservation
measures he imposed last week although water con-
sumption has increased in the city during the last
three days.
Halter said in a proclamation issued at noon
Monday that residents may resume outside watering
only between midnight and 8 a.m. The watering is
restricted to lawns and shrubbery, according to the
proclamation, and commercial outside watering is
still prohibited.
Violators are still subject to cut -off of water ser-
vice, fines up to $200 or jail terms up to 60 days.
The ban was partially lifted because Texas
A &M's No. 6 well, which was shut down Aug. 6,
resumed pumping about 3 million gallons of water a
day Monday.
That well increased A &M's water production
about 25 percent, allowing for more supplies to be
sold to College Station.
Daily consumption in the city increased from a
low of 3.9 million gallons recorded Friday to 4.6
million gallons recorded Monday morning.
College Station water purchases from Bryan also
increased from 105,000 gallons Friday to 326,000
gallons Monday.
City officials Tuesday are expected to consider
allowing commercial car washes to at least partially
resume business, said Elrey Ash, capital im-
provements director and city engineer.
He also said that the city should have its new
water system on line by Sept. 1, "barring unforseen
problems."

water reserves for fires
and other emergencies,
was near empty Wednes-
day night, said Bennie
Luedke, water produc-
tion superintendent.
However, a ground

quate reserves Wednes-
day night to handle such
an emergency, he said.
Increased consump-
tion from residents
watering during the non-
ban hours of midnight to
8 a.m. and from return-
ing Texas A &M Univer-
sity students led to the
critical supply stage, of-
4 ficials said.
Consumption for a 24-
hour period ending 8
a.m. Wednesday was 6.7
million gallons, the third
highest figure recorded
this year. The peak day
was Aug. 6 with 7.1
million gallons.
Texas A &M is supply-
ing most of the city's
water, about 5 million
gallons daily.
A &M's system is at The Eagle ,

Estill, A &M physical

Message was clear
By FRANK MAY
Staff Writer
Back yard evidence that a W
problem truly exists. How can"
a City Council duck such a
thing?
That's apparently what Dr.
Jack Miller and his wife
Dorothy, the leaders of the Beautify Brazos Coun-
ty Association, thought when they took on the
College Station City Council recently.
The couple gave the council their oft - repeated
pitch for participation in the BBCA's Beautify
Brazos Day Sept. 1, but obviously weren't
satisfied with the council's reaction.
But the two beautifiers decided to go to work to
lift the council's spirits and at the same time get
their message across.
A short while after giving their talk, Mr. and
Mrs. Miller returned to the council chamber with a
grocery sack. In it was the results of a 10- minute
trash collection, Jack proclaimed.
It was the typical junk —soda cans, beer bottles
and crumbled papers. But this particular garbage
was from the city hall parking lot which many ad-
ministrators and council members frequent.
Mr. Miller was able to smuggle the sack into the
council chambers as members were in closed ses-
sion in a nearby conference room.
He placed the bag behind Mayor Gary Halter's
chair so that his honor could in no way avoid it.
He attached a note describing how the trash was
collected and from where it came.
The Millers then left the council chamber, say-
ing they were late for an important appointment.
A few minutes later, the council returned and
Halter noticed the trash just before he pulled back
his chair. He propped the sack up on the council
chamber and read Miller's note. •
Some council members and city officials chuckl-
ed, but others seemed somewhat embarrassed.
Halter took the sack down quickly.
The evidence had proven the point —that even
the city needs to help clean up.

decided on the tower, which enabled him to com- ''re F

Ferreri says the project should be completed by
mid summer, next year, allowing for a nine -month
cr _ - truction schedule. Original plans had called for
s, ionth completion. That was before the plans
shifted from a modular design to a pre -cast concrete
design, which Ferreri said is more time consuming
but allows for more efficient construction.
.ctually, we've redesigned the building four or
five times to comply with the city's fire safety
regulations," he said. "Each room will contain a
sprinkler system and a smoke detector wired direct-
ly to the front desk."
Early announcements had also reported the hotel
would be 15 stories, instead of 17. And even the ar-
tist's rendering of the hotel being circulated around
is not entirely correct. There will be no outside glass
elevator, as shown, and the balconies will be rec-
tangular, not rounded.

Poor judgment
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the Planning and
Zoning Commission of College Station is working at cross
purposes with the Board of Education.
The record will show that each time a developer proposes a
major development in the city, which in turn would add con-
siderably to the tax base, the Commission votes the plan out
and the city and the school district are the losers.
The recent proposal on East University is a case in point.
Here is a lot that served as a land fill at one time, and for the
past number of years has been a major eyesore. A developer
planned to clean this lot and build a beautiful facility on it.
"No, this is zoned, `single - family residential. "' So it will
continue as an eyesore, and contribute very little to the tax
base.
Two years ago, a developer wished to build an office
building at the corner of Richards and Texas Avenue. "No,
this is zoned `single - family residential. "' A residence has not
been built on Texas Avenue in over 40 years, and in all pro-
bability never will be. Today the lot stands vacant, covered
with weeds, brush and rattlesnakes. But (it) will be a monu-
ment and serve as a continual reminder of the exercise of
poor judgment. Now we have another such reminder on East
University Avenue.
Meanwhile, about every two years the Board of Education
finds it necessary to raise the tax rate in the district, the bulk
of which is carried by residential property owners since the
Planning and Zoning Commission has been successful in ex-
cluding business and industry from the community.
The Planning and Zoning Commission may be able to
answer the logical question the minds of many residents,
"How long can residential property owners be expected to
shoulder this increasing burden of taxation ?"

City Manager North Bardell
said the pavillion will be built in an

acoustics for both instruments and

Mayor Gary Halter said the
pavilion, which will accomodate
outdoor presentations like con-
certs and theatrical shows, will not
compete with any existing facili-
ties because there is nothing com-
parable in the area.
Director of the Parks and Re-

project is parking because of the
strain softball and concerts sche-
duled at the same time may cause.

$80,000 in the budget projection,
but the project may cost as much
as $100,000, he said.
The council also discussed the
contract between College Station
and the Brazos Animal Shelter
Corporation for the running of the
animal shelter.
North Bardell said the corpora-
tion is to negotiate a contract with
the humane society for the opera-
tion of the animal shelter.
A suitable budget proposal
must be brought to the govern-
ment bodies involved with the
corporation before the agreement
will be considered by the council,
he said.
The animal shelter is funded by
Brazos County, Bryan and Col -

tion, with Brazos County Judge
R.J. "Dick" Holmgreen, Mayor
Richard Smith of Bryan and
Mayor Halter on the board of dire-

Councilman Larry Ringer said -
charges for towing currently range any-
where from $47.50 up to $65 and that he
was surprised no one was present for the
public hearing to set the fees.
No maximum fees were set for tow-
ing from private parking lots with police
officers present and towing from public
property.
City Manager North Bardell said
these towings required the wrecker ser-
vice to be on 24 hour stand -by for
emergency calls and that the city should
not set fees.
• The standard charge for the emergen-
cy calls is $47.50, Bardell said.
Most of the complaints about over-
charging come from the towing of vehi-
_ cles from private parking without the
owner's consent, he said.
The council postponed setting the
fees two weeks ago at the request of
wrecker service owner Sparky Hardee.
: Hardee requested the postponement
so that he could supply the council with
financial papers showing his justifica-
: lion for what he charges.
• However, Hardee was not at the pub-
lic hearing and has not brought the pap-
ers to the council or city staff.
In other action, the council also
changed the ordinance requiring per-
mits for having a garage sale.
The ordinance states that signs adver-
tising a garage sale may be posted only
on the property of the person having the
garage sale. A garage sale also may not
exceed 72 hours and may not be held
more than once in a six month period.
Violating the ordinance carries a max-
imum fine of $200.
Bardell said half the people having
garage sales don't get permits and en-
forcement is difficult.
"The ordinance gives us proper con -
trol without having permits," he said,

CS looking for big trees
The City of College Station is looking for big
trees.
A registry of the largest tree of each species in the
city limits is being organized by the parks and
recreation department, according to urban forester
Eric Ploeger.
Winning trees will be listed in a city catalog and
awarded certificates as the largest of their kind in
College Station. Local champions will be entered
into competition for the state and national registers.
"It's not necessarily a largest tree contest,"
Ploeger said. Nominations in each species will be
measured for width and height, so a tiny tree of
some exotic species might still be a winner.
Ploeger said the purpose of the project is to "br-
ing an awareness of trees as a resource in town that
needs to be protected."
Nomination forms can be picked up at city hall
on Texas Avenue and at local banks. Or they can be
requested by writing 1000 Eleanor St. in College
Station.

CS council balks again
over Woodson Village
By DAVID CRISP
Staff Writer
Two dozen residents from the Woodson Village
subdivision Thursday won another delay in a four -
year -old battle against a planned development
near Pershing Drive and Thomas Street.
The College Station City Council tabled a final
plat on Woodson Village Section 2 and directed
the city staff to come up with a proposal on the
cost of a citywide study of drainage and sewer pro -
blems.
City Engineer Elrey Ash was asked to ready the
proposal by the Dec. 10 council meeting.
The action came after two hours of discussion
by residents who said the 25 -home development
will increase existing sewage and drainage pro-
blems.
Councilman James Dozier moved to table the
plat early in the meeting saying the small lots
would increase drainage problems. That motion
passed 4 -3, with Councilmen Tony Jones, Larry
Ringer and Mayor Gary Halter voting against it.
Halter said the issue of the lot size is "a red herr-
ing."
After City Attorney Lowell Denton said the mo-
tion would, in effect, put the plat in "suspended
animation," the council voted to reconsider the
matter. Dozier's new motion to deny the plat
because of lot size died for lack of a second.
Jones then moved that the plat be approved,
with the stipulation that sewage and infiltration
problems be taken care of before any building
pemits are issued.
Jones withdrew the motion after Garland Can-
non of 805 Hawthorne St., said that motion would
not be acceptable because residents were still op-
posed to lot size.
Halter pointed out that a petition with more
than 60 signatures that Cannon presented to the
council did not mention lot size.
The petition said that the development will en-
danger the "health, safety, and welfare" of
residents by increasing flooding.
Ash, told in September by the Planning and
Zoning commission to study drainage problems in
the area, said the study showed sewer capacity in
the neighborhhod was adequate, except during
rainfall.
But, he added, the city has no money to com-
plete a detailed study of the problems.
Residents reported backed -up sewers, flooded
streets, and damaged property during heavy rain-
falls. Several said they wanted the council to deny
the plat until the sewer problems could be cor-
rected.

occupied.
Innovative idea
College Station is exploring an interesting idea which of-
fers the possibility both of creating a future source of
municipal revenue and of extending the life of the city's land-
fill.
The idea is that instead of simply burying the tons of gar-
bage collected in College Station, Bryan and at Texas A &M
University each year, the garbage instead might be burned in
an incinerator. The incinerator, in turn, would produce
steam which could be sold to an industry needing it for cer-
tain heating and cooling applications.
The first step toward deciding whether or not the plan is
feasable will be taken when College Station takes bids on a
set of scales to use in determining whether enough garbage is
produced locally to make the plan work. Officials estimate
they need at least 150 tons of garbage a day to make the in-
cinerator plan pay off.
The idea of generating steam by burning garbage is not
new — similar schemes have been used in Europe for many
years. Garbage makes surprisingly efficient fuel, the experts
say.
It will be some years before the idea could become reality,
even assuming there is enough garbage to make it practical.
One big obstacle is finding an industry which needs the steam
that would be produced — and which is willing to pay the
substantial costs of moving that steam from the incinerator
to its location.
Even so, the plan demonstrates that city officials are look-
ing for practical, innovative ways of cutting municipal costs
and providing alternate sources of revenue. And that's a
re`r:.shing by- product to come from tons of garbage.

College Station may
condemn site for well
The City of College Station may have to go into
condemnation proceedings to secure a site for a new
water well, the city council indicated after a closed
meeting Monday.
The city has been unable to buy land for a water
well near Sandy Point Road and the Old San An-
tonio Road. The council authorized the city staff to
enter condemnation proceedings, if necessary.
Whalen Corporation of Dallas was awarded a
contract in October to drill the well, which will pro-
vide the city with an extra 3 million gallons of water
per day.
In other business Monday, the council informally
agreed to go along with a $9,000 solid -waste study,
if it is approved by the City of Bryan and Texas
A &M University.
The study would examine possible sites for a
steam- generating solid -waste incinerator, as well as
possible customers for the steam.
The Bryan City Council Monday approved the
study by Sanders and Thomas, a Pennsylvania
firm, provided College Station and the university
share in the cost.
Mayor Richard Smith said that if the study in-
dicates potential savings from burning garbage to
make steam, the two cities and the university will be
asked to spend another $60,000 on a more detailed
feasibility study.
The university, which already generates steam
from natural gas, is one possible customer for the
steam, but it has made no commitment to buy it,
Smith said.
He said the incinerator could save the city money
by extending the useful life of the sanitary landfill,
which otherwise is expected to be full in about eight
years.

CS utility
deposits
under fire
By DAVID CRISP
Staff Writer
College Station City Council
member Tony Jones has recom-
mended revising the city's utility
deposit ordinance to give
businesses a break.
In a letter to Mayor Gary
Halter, Jones said the city council
should consider paying interest on
utility deposits for businesses and
returning the money after two
years. That's the practice in nearly
all of 10 cities he surveyed before
making the recommendation,
Jones said.
The council will consider the
change in a 4 p.m. meeting
Wednesday in council chambers at
city hall.
Jones made the study after CBL
& Associates, the developers of
Post Oak Mall, said in November
they were "shocked" at being
charged a $121,000 utility deposit
to be held in perpetuity.
The figure was based on eight
weeks of projected . utility use,
which matches deposits in the
cities Jones surveyed. But each of
those cities returns deposits after
two years and most also pay 6 per -
cent interest.
The council Wednesday also
will consider setting 1982 fees for
health inspections conducted
under a contract with the Brazos
County Health Unit. The propos-
ed new fee for inspecting bars and
schools is $40, down $10 from last
year.
Fees for eating and drinking
establishments would range from
$40 to $100, depending on the
number of square feet in the
business. The present fee is $50,
regardless of size.

College Station boom
College Station residents will bring in the new
year with a boom Monday as.'Mineral Search Inc.
sets off a series of explosives inside the city limits.
Company officials say the seismic tests, one -to-
10 -pound blasts of dynamite, won't create a hazard
or even be noticeable in most pal is of the city, ex-
cept to dogs and cats which are sensitive to such
tests.
But the officials are warning nearby residents to
take breakable items off their shelves as a precau-
tionary measure.
The charges will be set off on a north -south line
starting a mile south of the sewage treatment plant
and running half -a -mile north of the plant along the
eastern edge of the city.
Two stations, one at the sewage treatment plant
and one elsewhere along the line, will monitor the
blasts for excessive vibration. Residents within
1,000 feet are advised to keep collectible items out
of spots where they might vibrate off walls and
vow
shelves.
The College Station City Council approved the
seismic testing for oil and gas earlier this month
after geologist Dr. Chris Mathewson recommended
approval of the request.
The testing is expected to begin around 10 a.m.
and be completed by 1 p.m.

Concert pav
postponed ti '82
By DAVID CRISP
Staff Writer
A concert pavilion that one councilman said has
grown "like Topsy" in scope and cost, won't be
built in College Station's Central Park — at least
not before sometime next year.
The city council on Friday finally rejected the on-
ly bid it received to build the 1,000- square -foot
pavilion. Originally conceived as a $40,000 expense,
the project ballooned to a total bid of $139,800
before it was trimmed back to $78,000.
The proposed pavilion was one of five projects
cited by the Texas Municipal League in October in
presenting the city with a first -place award for arts
support among cities its size.
Council member Pat Boughton's motion to deny
the bid passed 3 -1, with Larry Ringer casting the
dissenting vote. Councilmen Tony Jones, James
Dozier and Alvin Prause were absent.
Boughton said the project has "mushroomed in-
to something totally different from what the council
had in mind." She also was dissatisfied with the The Eagle,
location in Central Park, which is near the East . Saturday,
Bypass and includes a number of athletic fields. Dec . 19 , 1981
"� Ringer said the project has grown "like Topsy"
in parks and recreation board meetings because of
requests from different groups wanting to use the •
facility.
Councilman Bob Runnels and Mayor Gary
Halter said their votes to deny the bid do not mean
they oppose the idea of a concert pavilion; but that
they are concerned about the cost and the 'absence
of three council members.
The council could not table the matter because
the lone bid, from R.B. Butler Inc., expires Jan. 3
and no more meetings are scheduled this year. The
council agreed to reconsider and possibly rebid the
project early next year.
The rejection came despite proposed cuts that
would have reduced the bid to $78,006: by deleting a
secondary building, plumbing, restrooms and a
public- address system.
Jody Bates, executive director of the Arts Coun-
cil of the Brazos Valley, said the trimmed -down
facility still would be "acoustically superior" fo
the city's summer concert series.
In other business, the council agreed to abandon
a right -of -way easement near Texas Avenue and
Poplar Street. City Manager North Bardell said the
easement, which cuts through a private lot, is not
being used.
An ordinance allowing businesses and industries
to recover their utility fund deposits after two years
of no bill delinquencies was approved on first
reading.
