DALLAS — A Dallas physicist
who measures rainfall in beakers
placed on top of his van insists
threatening levels of acid rain are
falling in Texas.
And although George W. Craw
ford’s claims the polluted rain is
acidic enough to affect wildlife are in
conflict with findings of the Texas
Air Control Board, he has been en-
tlisted to help with the state studies.
! The board says its tests have con
sistently found the region’s precip
itation to be normal.
By joining forces, Crawford and
the board hope to reach a shared
conclusion about whether Texas is
threatened by acid rain.
“People have to understand that
acid rain is our problem here in
Texas as well as a problem in the
eastern part of the U.S.,” Crawford
told the Dallas Times Herald in a
story published Monday. “The aver
age acidity of the rain is very close to
that of the (Northeast), and we are at
the beginning of the decade of dam-
a 8 e -
Rain becomes acidic when it falls
through layers of pollution, picking
up traces of sulfur dioxide and ni
trogen oxides. Some scientists blame
acid rain for decreases in fish pop
ulations.
Crawford has been analyzing Dal-
las-area rainfall since summer, and
said his 33 samples show average
acidity levels of pH 4.5 in Septem
ber, 4.2 in October and November,
and 3.85 in December.
The state agency recorded aver
age acidity levels of 5.7 in 1981, 5.5
in 1982, and 5.3 and 5.8 in 1983.
Average rainfall measures an
acidic level of 5.7 on the pH scale.
The scale ranges from 0, the most
acidic, to 14, the most alkaline.
Bullock helps cut state spending
Associated Press
AUSTIN — State Comptroller
Bob Bullock announced Monday he
will close eight offices and trim his
workforce by 104 people to help re
duce state government spending.
Bullock said the closings and lay
offs are concentrated on agency
functions that aren’t directly tied to
tax collecting.
“We’re eliminating services such
as bookkeeping assistance to local
governments; research for other
state agencies, cities and chambers of
commerce; and taxpayer publica
tions,” Bullock said.
Estimates indicate state govern
ment revenues over the next two
budget years will fall about $1 billion
short of current spending. Gov.
Mark White has asked all state
agency directors to cut costs where
ver possible to help head off a tax in
crease.
Bullock said offices in Brown-
wood, Greenville, Texarkana, Al
pine, Midland, Kerrville and Del Rio
would be closed. The audit office in
Atlanta, Ga., will be closed and its
staff merged with other out-of-state
audit of fices, he said.
Bullock also said clerical positions
throughout his agency would be au
tomated whenever possible.
“We are combining as manv jobs
as possible so that the employees
who remain will be able to work
more efficiently,” he said.
Bullock, who announced an un
specified number of layoffs in his
2,700-member department last
week, Monday said ne would assist
those who are leaving to find other
jobs.
“We’re giving these people the
most we can in the way of termi
nation benefits,” he said.
“We will notify employers of the
talent we’re letting go. We’ll help
these people with courses in jot)
hunting”
