Committee named to review
housing code, eviction policy
The College Station City Council
appointed a Housing Code En-
ircement Committee to review the
ity housing code (Ordinance 628)
nil advise the council on needed
anges concerning building
aintenance. The committee will
io look into the city policy of en-
ircing the code.
The city ordinance requires the
pants of any housing judged
nsaieto move out within 30 days if
pairs are not made. Gary Halter,
luncil liaison to the committee,
lid that this could lead to eviction
ir occupants of rented or leased
sellings if the owner chooses not to
lake needed repairs. He added
it, with the tight housing market
Bryan-College Staiton, tenants
are hesitant to press the owner for
repairs.
Halter said that present city policy
is to enforce the code only if there is a
hazard to health or safety. Follow
ing an examination of the housing
code and the city enforcement pol
icy, he said the committee will also
determine whether or not city
policies are contributing to substan
tial rent increases.
The Housing Code Enforcement
Committee is an advisory committee
to the city council. Members of the
committee include Karen Phifer,
Roy Hann, Lynn Glaser, Jane
Hughey, Noel Sandefer and Ken
Robison.

A small, wiry woman rises early
every morning and makes her way
from her Bryan home to the Texas
A&M University laundry. The hour
is 7 a.m., an hour before most of the
campus begins its daily routine.
Florine S. Walton has been mak
ing that early morning trip for 22
years. An experienced laundry
worker, Mrs. Walton operates four
manual steam presses. Two of the
presses are the length of an ironing
board, while the other two are
slightly larger than a typewriter.
Mrs. Walton works surrounded by
the presses, going from one to the
next in a circular fashion. It takes her
about a minute and half to complete
the circle, adjusting clothes and
turning pants as she goes.
She is a specialist because the
machines have only an off or on but
ton; they do not signal when the
clothes are dry or pressed. A watch
ful eye and her skilled, swift hands
are always cautious to prevent a
scorch or burn. Mrs. Walton mostly
handles heavily starched items such
as blue jeans and khaki Corps uni
forms.
“I can press 70 pairs of pants an
hour, if we’ve got that many to do,
she said.
Time and exposure have made her
hands insensitive to the heat as she
turns a pant leg over and smooths it
out, even though most people
couldn’t touch the hot fabric. After
the pants are pressed, she folds them
and places them in a wooden bin for
pick-up.
T have a lot of friends here, ’’ she
says of the 85 employes of the laun
dry.
Mrs. Walton works four days a
week, as there is no work on Fridays.
Her hours vary depending on the
amount of clothes the laundry re
ceives. On many days she is finished
by 1:30 p.m. and rarely works past
3:30 p.m.
Wiping sweat from her face, Mrs.
Walton says she’s used to the heat
and enjoys the work.
Before the clothes reach Mrs.
Walton, they are first marked and
washed. After she has pressed them
they proceed to others who fold,
check and bundle the clothes for de
livery to the customer’s substation.

Council gets advice
on bond financing
The College Station City Council
Friday continued discussion con
cerning the financing of capital im
provements bonds which will be up
for voter consideration this summer.
In session with financial advisers,
the council discussed various plans
under which to submit the bonds to
the community, but no final decision
was made. The financial report, ac
cording to the advisers, could not
propose specific suggestions to the
council as to bond financing until de
cisions were made by the city
whether or not to continue water and
utility association with Bryan.
The council also hired Bill
McMorris of Amarillo as a rate con
sultant to study a change in gas rates.
The cost of the study will be divided
equally between Bryan and College
Station.

You’re getting it together on guitar and you
want a great one. But you're worried that a
great one means an expensive one. Well it
doesn’t. Great means Epiphone. An Epiphone
guitar is carefully designed, crafted and
assembled from the finest rosewood, maple,
and spruce. So it looks more expensive
than it is. But here’s the greatest part.
Epiphone sounds and plays every bit as
good as it looks. So before you buy,
shop around. And compare. For action,
feel and sound. We think you’ll find that
Epiphone looks, plays and feeis like
$300. Instead of as little as $100. You
get more out of it because we put more
into it. Epiphone. From the people
who make Gibson guitars
