By JUDIE PORTER
Battalion Reporter
The Bryan City Council’s meeting
Monday was short and sweet.
Sin ce the elections are over, the
ambulance issue has been settled
and the Civil Service Act passed,
the council is back to approving con
tracts and awarding bids.
The council did hold a public
hearing during the 30-minute meet
ing for citizens to give proposals on
how the Community Development
Fund should be spent. But no citi
zens came to voice their opinions.
However, two members of the
Community Development Citizen
Committee were present at the
council meeting. Chairman Joy
Shelton and member Walter Carl
Jones answered the council’s ques
tions concerning use of the money.
The Community Development
Fund, developed under the Hous
ing [and Community Development
Actjof 1973, provides federal money
for city and community im
provements. The HUD fund has
been enacted for a six-year period.

ements must be used for recon-
[ction or the building of roads,

dar maintenance work.

Ford, Nixon dance; citizens
pay fiddlers $800,000
United Press Internationa]
WASHINGTON — Taxpayers
spend nearly $800,000 a year to
support Richard Nixon and Gerald
Ford — paying for such items as five
color television sets for Nixon and
$23,000 in long distance calls for
Ford.
U.S. News and World Report
reached those totals through records
filed with the General Services Ad
ministration.
In presidential and congressional
retirement benefits, Nixon gets
$85,000 a year and Ford gets about
$106,000 a year.
Both are entitled to lifetime pro
tection by the Secret Service, free
mailing privileges, health care at
military hospitals and use of
government-owned townhouses in
Washington.
Congress must appropriate funds
for these and other incidental ex
penses. The magazine said both
have asked for “small increases” in
their 1980 allowances.
