Senate Passes ‘Clean Air Financing Act’
v ALAN ALLEN
Did you hear the one about the
ky who went to Alaska for three
oaths, fished 10 days for salmon,
out and grayling, and made
to help pay for his edu-
ition?
It’s no joke. David Constance,
senior in building construction,
djust that last summer. “When
got to Fairbanks,” he said, “it
ss 10 degrees and the ice was
laking up in the Chena River,
wasn’t what I had expected
id I had left my coat in my
itcase.
"I had $70 when I got off the
ane and figured it would last
iedays. If I didn’t have a job
then I would head out for An-
orage and try there. On the
urth day I got lucky; I got a
b, It was with the only non-
don (house) builder in town. I
arted out at $7 an hour. Boy,
■was amazed. I was tickled to
lath to get that.”
He worked there a week, then
i and two workers decided to
ib-contract the framing of
uses. “I guess I began averag-
gJ10 to $12 per hour then. We
orked for a flat sum and on an
erage house I made about $600
five to seven days. The most
oney I made on one house was
,(100 in eight days.”
Between jobs Constance said he
wnt his time at the University
[Alaska where he made friends
nd at nearby rivers where he
ijoyed fishing. “The salmon were
inning when I was there,” he
aid, "and in one place on the
ulkana River they were so thick

it looked as if you could have
walked across them. I had never
used a fly rod before, but I
caught fish up to seven pounds
the first day I tried.”
Constance said he was impress
ed with the people he met and
their generosity. For three weeks
he lived in a borrowed tent. The
next four he spent in an ice
fishing house his boss loaned him
and ended the trip in the five-
bedroom home of a family that
was on vacation.
He took the overnight fishing
trips with people he met there
and used their equipment. “All I
took with me were Levi’s, shirts,
two pair of dress pants, a coat
and a sleeping bag. I guess they
have to be nice because of the
hard winters and need for coop
eration.”
Constance said he thinks a skill
ed laborer has a fair chance at
a job there, but they’re hard to
find few jobs available. I got my
ers to go just for the money,”
he said, “because even residents
find few jobs aavilable. I got my
job because a man broke his leg
and because of my background in
construction.”
Constance said the worst parts
of the trip were the one-dollar
hamburgers, the 60 cents per gal
lon for gasoline and the mosqui
toes. “The mosquitoes were worst
in July,” he said, “they were ev
erywhere. My God, you’ve never
seen so many mosquitoes in your
life. They were terribly bad, and
big. And they loved me. If you
ever go to Alaska be damn sure
and take plenty of mosquito re
pellent.”
AUSTIN, Tex. (A*)—A “Clean
Air Financing Act” using public
credit to finance pollution control
by private industry sailed through
a Senate committee Wednesday
with no dissenting votes.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Jack
Hightower, D-Vernon, would let
political subdivisions construct
pollution control facilities through
the use of tax-exempt bonds, and
then lease or sell the facilities to
industry.
Industry could claim investment
tax credits and normal deprecia
tion allowances, but would be re
quired to pay ad valorem taxes
on the facilities, whether they
owned them or leased them.
“It’s simply a way by which
business and industry can finance
control facilities,” said Hightow
er, noting such a plan already
exists in Texas for water pollution
control.
He said 30 other states have
such an arrangement.
“If we fail to pass this bill
we’re not permitting our industry
to be competitive.”
Wade Spillman, speaking for
the Municipal Advisory Council of
Texas, said the measure would
“facilitate earlier compliance with
air control standards.”
“It’s whole purpose is to aid
business and industry in Texas,”
Spillman said.
The measure was changed to
exclude water districts but in
clude multi-county districts in fi
nancing the bonds, on a sugges
tion by Jack Davis, general man
ager of the Gulf Coast Waste
Disposal Authority. Also included
are cities, counties, towns, and
other political subdivisions.
“If you’re going to play, we
want in the game,” Davis said.
He feared excessive competition
among governmental units to at
tract the bonds but his recom
mendations to modify the bidding
process were not adopted.
There was only one witness
against the measure, Houston at
torney L. A. Greene, a member
of a group known as Help Elimi
nate Pollution.
Greene said he disagreed with
the concept of using public credit
to finance private industry, “but
that policy has already been set
tled in Washington.” He was re-
Eighty More POWs Return,
Express Gratitude To Nixon
(A*) — Eighty more freed pris
oners of war arrived back in the
United States Wednesday, this
time taking an express route that
brought them to military bases
across the country and reunions
with their loved ones.
Four huge Operation Home
coming jets travelled up to 11,-
000 miles from Clark Air Base
in the Philippines to carry their
passengers, still savoring the
taste of freedom, to bases in
Maryland, Texas, California and
Illinois.
At each of the bases, the for
mer POWs expressed thanks at
being once again on American
soil and gratitude to President
Nixon for having engineered the
peace.
“Our motto was unity before
self,” said Air Force Col. Fred
erick A. Crow Jr. at Andrews
Air Force Base, just outside of
Washington. “Our objective was
to return with honor. We have
accomplished our task.”
Crow, of Gloucester, Mass.,
acted as spokesman for the 21
POWs to arrive at Andrews. Fol
lowing the pattern at the other
bases, some men were checked

ferring to a federal law under
which Hightower’s bill can be im
plemented by the states.
But Greene said the Texas Con
stitution may prohibit the legisla
tion.
“This can’t be resolved by me,”
he said. “It will be settled else
where.”
Asked if that meant in court,
he said yes.
Greene also asked the commit
tee to toughen the bill’s language
on requiring industry to pay ad
valorem taxes on any equipment
it obtains under the bill.
He said the Houston domed
stadium was built on public credit,
yet its valuation was fixed at
only $1 per year.
“But wasn’t that a political
decision?” asked Hightower.
“Yes, senator, that’s what I’m
trying to head off,” Greene re
plied. “I would hope each rendi
tion under this bill is not a poli
tical decision.”
Supporters of the bill agreed to
work with Greene to change the
language where necessary.
