Joe G. Hanover, district engineer for
the Texas Highway Department, said this
morning that he believes the College
Station City Council turned down the
provisions of the department's $390,000
signalization project because it hadn't
been adequately explained.
The council decided to reject the project
by a 4 to 3 vote at last night's regular
meeting citing displeasure that the bulk of
funds would go to Bryan.
"We don't look at College Station and
Bryan as two individual cities, but as
areas through which routs run," Hanover
explained. "The fact is that more of SH 6
runs through Bryan."
i HANOVER SAID the department would
be glad to meet with the city council to
give them further information. He had not
heard from city manager Ran Boswell at
the time of the interview.
He explained that the project was not
close-ended.
"At the present time, it looks as if only
one signal - the one at SH 6 and SH 30 -
• would be needed. But if it turned out after
the study that others are warranted,
they would be included."
The project specified study of 30 in-
tersections - four in College Station. The
other three under study would be at SH 6
and SH 60, SH 6, and Walton and SH6 and
Jersey. The remaining 26 intersections to
be studied are in Bryan.

In College Station, there is machinery
to do something about building in the flood

forbidding it.
But Bryan, which has no zoning, is left
to other devices to attempt to prevent
financial damage and possible loss of life
due to flooding.
Bryan's city planner, Hubert Nelson,
confirmed for The Eagle that it's not
easy.
"YOU CAN PLAN all you want, but
without zoning, it is difficult to be sure

Nelson said he is not sure what the city
will do about building on the flood plain.

1'1 dot-So-Old- Timers
Recall Flood o '57
Not-so-old-timers in Bryan and College Station remember with awe the
big flood of 1957.
The flood, which followed torrential rains into already swollen creek
beds, put a large number of the area's highways and city streets under
water, badly damaged crops, isolated cattle and took one man's life.
1957 was a wet year. The Bryan Daily Eagle reported that rainfall by
April 23 already had approached the total tigure of 1956.
AT AROUND 11 a.m. on the 23rd, it began to rain. In 30 minutes, the
skies opened up and dropped three inches on the area.
At about 1 p.m. it started raining again. Another inch was deposited.-

Street.
A resident of Restwood Street was forced out of his home when his
basement flooded and a broken sewage line carried raw sewage into the
house.
FARM-TO-MARKET Road 1179 was under five feet of water.
First and fifth grade children at Travis School were evacuated when
their classrooms flooded.
Near Boonville Road, 40 head of cattle were forced against a fence
when flood waters inundated their pasture. They were rescued.
In an attempt to rescue other cattle near Jone Bridge, a farm hand was
swept off his horse and drowned.
AN ESTIMATED $25,0x1 damage was done to crops on the Texas A&M
University farm alone.
The toll was high. The flood was top healine material in the newspaper

Rate Increase 'Due
To Bad Weather
January electric bills for College Station residents will be approximately 6 per
cent higher, a statement from the city revealed today.
The increase reflects a temporary hike in rates charged the city by Bryan from
which College Station purchases electricity.
. THE PURCHASE CONTRACT, the statement said, provides for periodic in-
creases in rates due to fluctuating costs of fuel. The increase resulted from the
necessity to use high cost diesel fuel during the current natural gas curtailment by
Lone Star Gas Co.
January bills will reflect an increase of .126 cents per kilowatthour. It is ex-
pected by the city that varying increases will occur each month until warmer
weather alleviates the demand for gas.
BRYAN RESIDENTS WILL PAY a permanent 10 per cent average increase in
electric rates this month following the emergency approval by the city commission
of utility hikes. City manager Fred Sandlin also has repeatedly warned that the
fuel shortage would make temporary increases necessary during the cold weather.
College Station will not be effected by the utility rate increase until the current
contract under which the city buys electricity from Bryan expires and a new one is
negotiated.

CS Voters
To Punch
Ballots
College Station voters, for the first time
in the city's history, will get to punch
holes in the city council ballots instead of
mark on them during the April 3 election
to fill three city council seats.
The city will use an electronic voting
system which provides for the punching of
a hole in the ballot for the candidate
desired. The method replaces the con-
ventional "paper ballot" on which a voter
had to mark his candidate choice.
THE COLLEGE STATION city council
Monday night officially approved an
ordinance providing for the mechanics of
the punch card voting machine method.
The punch card ballots will be sent
through a Texas Data Center Inc., 411 S.
Bryan St., computer for tabulation.
Under the approved ordinance, the
• College Station city hall has been
designated the central counting station.
All voting boxes must be brought to the
counting station before all five precinct
boxes and the one absentee voting box are
sent by police car to the data center for
tabulation. The ballots will then be
brought back to the city hall.
Bill McLeod, a representative of
Custom Printing Products Co., the firm
handling the city's ballot printing and
election supplies, told the councilmen that
that five voting machines will be used at
all five voting precincts. Two machines
are presently in use during absentee
voting at city hall.
MCLEOD ESTIMATED that vote
tabulation would be completed by 8 or
8:30 p.m. after voting ends at 7 p.m. Total
cost to the city is to be $600.
The councilmen agreed to canvass the
votes at 5 p.m. April 6 in city hall.

THE BATTALION
Page 2 College Station, Texas Thursday, April b, 1973
The Student Input Farce
No ands, ifs, or buts about it, the voter turnout for Tuesday's City
Council election was absolutely ridiculous-and the registered voters
living on the A&M campus didn't help matters any.
The cry of "student input" most certainly is used quite fallaciously
at A&M because students aren't concerned with what's happening to
them or around them Anyone complaining about a lack of
student-oriented input is in the minority, no matter what others think.
Less than one tenth (115) total vote of 995 (a truly excessive
number) made its way to the polling place recently established in the
Cushing Library.
As of January 1 there were 9,456 people eligible to vote for this
election and only 10.52 per cent of this took enough interest to vote.
The showing doesn't look too good for the residents of College Station,
either.
It wouldn't have taken much to elect anyone to the Council-at
most, five minutes of precious time. With continued non-support in
future elections, students wishing to run for office may as well scrap
their plans now, because it just doesn't matter to anyone except
incumbents whether they are elected or not.
Get involved. City hall is for everyone, not just its employes.

Though complaining of a lack of en-
tertainment and shopping facilities, most
residents of College Station would like to
see the city remain "a small, quiet
university town in a semi-rural setting,"
according to results of a community-wide
survey.
The survey, made by over 450 members
of the citizens advisory committee,
revealed general satisfaction with life in

committees, the survey set goals and
objectives desired by residents and will
be incorporated into the 701 long-range
city plan now being done by Pinnell and
the city with a federal grant.
The districts included two areas
primarily comprised of students at Texas
A&M University. Pinnell read comments
• from students who praised the frien-
dliness of people in College Station and
the general feeling of support of the
student body.
The majority of those interviewed by
the committee said they would like to see
more light industry in the city to provide
non-university-oriented employment, but
stressed a dislike for heavy industry and
\ promotional efforts to increase growth
beyond 40,000.
Most often mentioned as problems were
streets, the telephone system, lack of job
opportunities, transportation and fire
protection facilities.
Residents also encouraged the city to
"get tough" with present zoning or-
dinances and enact new ordinances
needed to prevent further strip zoning on
Texas Avenue and improve the quality
and appearance of developments.
THE PRELIMINARY REPORT will be
finalized by Pinnell and submitted to the
city. A special meeting of the planning
and zoning commission is scheduled for
April 30 to review and discuss the com-
pleted report.

Bag Own Garbage
A proposed change in garbage collection will end the traditional and
troublesome trips to College Station back yards for collectors.
The council in its meeting Monday night voted to instruct Ran Boswell, city
manager, to draw up an ordinance requiring residents to bag their garbage in two
millimeter containers and carry it to the curb for collection.
A PUBLIC HEARING will be held on the ordinance at the council's next
meeting.
Boswell and city sanitation supervisor Alfred Miller told the council that the
problems with the current program have become major.
"You just can't get people to do this kind of labor anymore," Miller said.
"Saturday one week ago, I had one man out of five show up for work. We are
presently five men short."
Miller also cited constant complaints from residents about messes left by
collectors, dogs let out and unsupported claims of theft as problem areas.
Miller said he could cut his labor force in half with the curb collection and could
continue using present equipment.
ASKED BY DICK HERVEY, mayor, if the bags would solve the labor problems,
Miller said it would "help a whole lot. I think I could get more reliable people
then."
Audience members brought up several questions about the proposed change,
primarily who would pay for the bags.
Though George Ford, city surveyor, said he felt the city could pay for the bags
from salary savings, Fred Brison, councilman, included in his motion that Boswell
write the ordinance a recommendation that residents purchase the bags.
Another question from an audience member concerned the problem of dogs
tearing the bags open.
"We'll just have to stiffen our present leash laws," Hervey told her.
R.D. Radeleff, councilman, also told the audience that the bags would
deteriorate in the landfill, though slowly.
"ANYTHING PLASTIC will deteriorate," Radeleff said.
The bags will add approximately two per cent more plastic to the landfill, Miller
said.

• Objectivu
Must Maw
An important portion of the
prchensive plan for the future of any c"
has to be the formulation of a set of got,,:
and objectives. And in order that thr -
goals be realistic, they must match thi
goals of the people who live in the col -
i i iunity.
To assure the goals do reflect the ain s
of the people, the federal government
requires citizen input into any plan ij
funds. College Station chose to fulfill that
requirement with the formation of a
citizens' advisory committee.
THE COMMITTEE CONSISTS of
members of the standing city committees
for business, parks and recreation,
beautification, safety and health and the
10chairnien of residential districts drawn
to include representatives of all social,
racial and econornic groups.
The districts ranged in population from
750 to 2,250 and included low and high
income groups.
• Each chairman was joined in the
~G ` separate advisory groups by volunteers,
1 e recruited through an open letter from the
mayor and printed in the newspaper,
letters to various local interest groups
and news releases to the media.
I Each volunteer was asked to contact six
people with a questionnaire. It has been
estimated that 500 residents contributed
to the survey.
THE SUMMARY REPORTS of each
district will be included in their entirety in
the comprehensive plan. In addition,
consultant Charles Pinnell has drawn up a
representative summary report.
General goals of the groups were to
limit population to around 40,000 by 1990,
to discourage heavy industry, to stop strip
zoning and concentrate shopping in one
location, to improve phone service, to
encourage more citizen participation in
the government, to maintain open spaces
in the city and to keep the small, college
town atmosphere.
It is possible the citizen advisory group
will be maintained as well to give the city
wtoniatic citizen input.

Basically, a Need
For More People
No plan can be a good plan, College Station's preliminary report states, unless it
provides a path for implementation. The implementation of the College Station's
comprehensive plan will rest essentially in the hands of administration.
Charles Pinnell and associates interviewed the mayor, city manager and
various department heads to complete that portion of the study.
They found, basically, a need for more people and for a more highly organized
system of promotion and job specification.
THE PRESENT CITY STAFF numbers 98 people divided among the city
manager, finance, police, fire and public. works departments.
The city manager, city attorney and administrative secretary work in the city
manager's office. Seven clerks, and office manager and the director are in the
finance office.
The police department in composed of the chief, one lieutenant, three sergeants,
• eight patrolmen, one humane officer, one clerk and five dispatchers.
The study reports the fire department has one chief and six firemen.
THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT is the largest with a director, city
engineer, city planner, parks and recreation director, one superintendent of
electricity, an assistant to the superintendent, one electrical inspector, one elec-
trician, one lineman, five laborers, one superintendent of water and sewer, one
inspector, two foremen, one sewer plant operator, seven laborers, one custodian
and three meter readers.
"As the city changes its character from that of a small city to a medium-sized
city," the study said, "it becomes necessary for the city i~r~ra.;er to dele-,ate more
responsibility to the second and third echelon employes.'
IN ORDER FOR HIM TO DO THIS, recommendations are ,nlr:ie that a number
of new personnel have to be added and that the second and third echelon staff b
prepared to accept increased responsibility.
In systems and procedures, the report recommends that utility rates be
billed and that a staff position be added to handle purchasing.
The study of 'h!' city
!r, ing followE
INTERVIE` felt the manual was
confining and prescribing. No formal city employ iuent plan is now in existence
each department head sets his own.
the preliminary report suggests a thorough study in the second phase to identif%
a~.. needed personnel services and placement mechanism, to review current
dicies and to develos ~ ~,ao j&w. as well as to rec;rw

Phone Suit
Recessed
Until 2 p.m.
Sounding as if a bloodless solution may
be near, Judge W.C. (Bill) Davis, 85th
district court, this morning recessed the
General Telephone Co. versus cities of
Bryan and College Station suit trial until 2
p.m. today.
The trial was scheduled to begin at 10
a.m. A 30-minute recess was first called
at that time, then the second recess.
DAVIS TOLD THOSE in court when it
reconvened at 10:30 a.m. that the two
• sides had been "reasoning together." He
added that the recess would be used to try
to work out a settlement out of court.
General Telephone is requesting a
temporary injunction prohibiting the two
cities from enforcing their current rates
for phone service on the grounds that calls
between Bryan and College Station are
not local service.
"Intrastate" call, as the companY
asserts these are, are not subject to
regulation by local communities.
THE COMPANY USES as a back-up
argument that the rates, if subject to
regulation by the cities, are too low to
provide a fair return.
The cities, represented by Pete Eckert
in Bryan and James Dozier in College
Station, assert both contentions are false.

College Station is calling its public hearing for the use of general revenue
sharing money in conjunction with Monday's regular meeting of the city council.
,
The hearing will be held at 7 p.m.. in city hall. The council in workshop sessions
• has decided to propose the use of the money for additional sewer lines and im-
provement to the drainage and sewer systems.
