Page 4 College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 26, 1972 THE BATTAll! [HE B( Texas Water Quality Board to ask for large budget increm AUSTIN (A>)—The Texas Water Quality Board voted Tues day to ask the legislature for a 50 per cent increase in its budget for the fiscal year beginning Sept. 1. Gov. Smith has said he would veto any state budget that calls for new taxes. The board wants $6,748,553, compared with the current budget of $4,442,946. The request includes $1.5 million for river basin plan ning. Joe Teller, deputy director of the board, said the federal En vironmental Protection Agency insists on the planning money as a condition for receiving federal grants. Board member G. R. Herzik Jr. said he did not understand what the EPA wanted. Novotny sued for$l million HOUSTON UP) — Joe Novotny, former president of the now- defunct Sharpstown State Bank, was sued for $1,030,447 Tuesday by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. for two past due notes he had at the bank. The FDIC took over the bank when it closed its doors in 1971 after it and its principal stock holder, Frank W. Sharp, were accused of stock manipulation in a civil suit filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Tuesday's suit claims a $1 mil lion loan was made to Joe Novot ny Inc. on Jan. 15, 1971, in which Novotny agreed to make 10 semi annual payments of $50,000 each, paying off the note by 1976. Novotny also made a second loan for $297,000 to be paid off in installments of $14,850, the suit claims. The suit says Novotny still owes $1,030,447 on the two notes, plus interest and attorney fees.

ADULT LIBRARY CLUB “I'd like to see that million and a half go into sewage treatment,” Herzik said. “On the one hand they want us to plan and on the other hand they tell us that in the Galveston Bay study we planned it to death.” “I think you've stated it very precisely,” Teller said. The proposed budget also would include $117,000 for six division directors at $19,500 each and $50,- 000 for microfilming the board’s records. The board also considered, among others, proposals involving San Antonio, Corpus Christi, Luf kin and Beaumont-Port Arthur. Teller explained that the legis lature declared Mitchell Lake near San Antonio a nuisance and then decided that the board should de cide if it was. The board also was directed to determine if a plan to convert the lake into a recre ational facility was practical. “The lake is an integral part of the city’s treatment facilities,” Teller said. “Ma/->e it shouldn’t be, but it is. To do away with that would cause the city of San Antonio to increase their income to this operation by some 17 per cent.” The cost of losing Mitchell Lake would be “in excess of $5 million,” he said. As for turning it into a facility suitable, for recreation, Teller said: “The lake has been used for over 70 years for receiving sewage. Is there anything that could be done to make the people accept it for recreational pur poses?” Hugh Yantis, executive direc tor, said the main objection to the lake was its odor. This is caused by ik-posits on its banks, which are exposed by evapora tion during hot weather, and this condition is being taken care of through dredging and filling op erations, he said. Teller said the 850-acre lake has an abnormally small drainage area feeding it—1,500 acres. “If they stop discharging into it, it’s going to dry up and be a stinking old mud hole,” he said. Teller said the staff would con tinue its study of the lake and devise a plan for recreation be cause “You’ve practically got to draw the plan to determine if it’s ‘practical’.” The board told its staff to set up public hearings to determine if Corpus Christi or the Lower Nueces River Authority should By J No-fault be the policing agency fa tank regulation on Lakef Christi.
