Bryan building dispute settled By STARR MOORE Battalion Reporter Special commissioners of the condemnation court settled the dis pute between property owners of Western Auto and the Brazos Coun ty Commissioners. Thursday morning, the three commissioners, appointed by County Court at Law Judge James A. Amis Jr., awarded $112,000 to Brazos County for the property’s cost. The money is included in the total $360,000 set aside for the renovation of Western Auto which is to house the new county tax office. The regular county commissioners wanted to acquire the Western Auto store as a tax office, but attorneys for the property owners said they wanted more money for the property. To decide the final amount Amis appointed three independent commissioners. The first witness to testify before the commission was architect Jack Cumpton who said the county has the option to acquire property for public need and benefit through condemnation. He said the building has some definite maintenance problems but nothing that is structurally inefficient. He said, “It is in need of considerable maintenance ... it has problems that need to be fixed. ” Cumpton said the roof will be built over the old one to strengthen it and provide better insulation. He said the new roof will stretch the life of the building by about 20 years. Brazos County voters approved a $10 million bond issue for the expansion and renovation of the courthouse last January. The purchase of the Western Auto store is only part of the bond package. Cumpton said the reason for the difference in estimated prices between the owners and the county is because of their different perceptions of what is needed. “It’s human nature to think that what you own is more valuable than really what it is,” Cumpton said.

State health officials have threatened Todd with court ac tion for failure to meet an Oct. 15 deadline for reducing its nuclear waste inventory to 2,000 barrels. On that date, inspectors said they counted 11,000 barrels. In a prepared statement, Todd President Arthur W. Stout Jr. said the failure to meet the dead line was unavoidable because of “unforeseen and unfortunate in cidents.” “In spite of statements and in nuendos, we wish to emphasize the fact that our inability to have on hand a maximum of 2,000 drums has in no way had any de leterious effects on the health or welfare of this community,” Stout said.
