Bexar criminals get
unwarranted break
United Press International
SAN ANTONIO — If another
)unty or state needs a wanted cri-
linal arrested in Bexar County, they
lay have to wait a long time, a news
paper reported Tuesday.
The San Antonio Light said in an
tclusive story that felony warrants
for serious crimes are being filed
fiway and not actively worked under
a new policy put into effect at the first
! ' of the year by Sheriff Rudy Garza,
i) tot t i “Also filed are misdemeanor, traf-
'oliinlf
fic and parole and probation violation
warrants from other jurisdictions,”
the newspaper said.
“Only chance works against the
wanted person now. For example, if
a city policeman or sheriff s deputy
stops a person for a routine traffic
violation and runs a computer check,
an outstanding warrant would be dis
covered. Then an arrest is made.”
The sheriff s office said it had three
fewer warrant officers than were
working in 1975 and at the same time
in-county warrants increased 20 per
cent from 1975 to 1980.
The number of out-of-county war
rants tripled during the same period,
Garza said, with about 35 felony and
115 misdemeanor warrants from
other counties received each month.
“It’s not fair to the people of Bexar
County to have wanted criminals
running around the street,” said an
anonymous source which tipped the
newspaper to the discontinuation of
serving out-of-county warrants.

,, AUSTIN — Comptroller Bob Bul
lock said Tuesday a program to move
tax revenue through his office and
into banks faster will significantly in-
-jprease the interest the state earns on
its deposits.
:: Bullock said the new tax proces
sing system deposits tax money
through a single-step operation ab
out 72 hours faster than the previous
stem. In a six-day period in late
March, he said the new system pro
duced an additional $47,700 interest
on state deposits,
“The quicker tax dollars move
through our department, the quick
er they end up in a bank earning
taxpayers extra interest,” he said.
Bullock said records in his depart
ment show the new system made de
posits of $235,873,835 between
March 13 and March 31.
“You don’t have to be secretary of
the treasury to see the interest
potential on that kind of cash flow, ”
he said.
Bullock said the new program util
izes a computer to handle tax re
ceipts, taxpayer accounts and fund
allocation all in a single step, rather
than in three separate steps pre
viously used. It means multiple de
posits may be made each day and
allows the deposits to begin earning
interest earlier.
vertime pay delay
hits census workers

. LUBBOCK — Things aren’t
adding up at the census office.
As a result, some 500 temporary
employees have been working heavy
overtime schedules, but their
paychecks do not reflect the extra
hours they put in.
Mitzi Jordan, a district manager
for the census bureau, Tuesday said
her West Texas office has submitted
overtime reports to Dallas, but there
have been no results.
The problem, she said, apparently
surfaced when the Dallas payroll
office changed its computerized
payroll system format in midstream.
The Lubbock office, like others, was
notified to resubmit overtime re
ports on a different form.
Jordan said the forms were filled
out and resubmitted, but when the
checks finally arrived, there was no
overtime pay.
“It is not just Lubbock,” she said,
adding that 37 or so regional payroll
centers across the United States are
apparently having similar problems.
“I’m concerned, of course, but I
would be alarmed if it was just us,”
she said.
Paychecks for a routine 40-hour
work week apparently were not
affected by the computer problem,
she said.
Meanwhile, employees have been
notified their overtime payments
will be delayed, but they will even
tually be compensated for their extra
work.
“They will get it. The federal gov
ernment will not beat them out of it, ”
Jordon said.
But because of the problems,
some employees said they are con
sidering working elsewhere.
