CS Council Warped
advised to
open branch
library soon
By CRAIG RENFRO
Staff Writer
The College Station City Council
on Wednesday received a recom
mendation from its library commit
tee to open a branch library as soon
as possible.
The council also discussed
whether it should allow the 6 per
cent hotel-motel tax to drop to 5 per
cent June 30. The tax will be re
duced if the council does not enact
an ordinance preventing the change.
Mayor Gary Halter said official
action will be taken on these issues
by March 13.
The committee said the library
would be established as a branch of
the Bryan Public Library, which is a
member of the Central Texas Li
brary System.
The library committee suggested
leasing a temporary site for three
years and purchasing the necessary
furnishings. Choices for the site in
cluded the Southwood Valley Ath
letic Park, College Station Commu
nity Center and Bee Creek Park.
The city has budgeted $194,000
for the establishment of the branch
library.
But Larry Ringer, chairman of
the Library Committee, said if a tem
porary site were constructed, it
would cost about $135,000 to build
and another $96,000 to maintain.
These costs exclude utilities and in
surance.
In other action the council dis
cussed the city’s hotel-motel tax
fund. Nearly 75 percent of the fund
is appropriated to the College Sta
tion Community Center, the College
Station Chamber of Commerce and
the contribution debt service.
These agencies will use $383,000
of the $513,500 that the 1985-86 ho
tel-motel tax is expected to earn,
leaving $130,000 for other appro
priations.
The council also passed an ordi
nance to participate in an anti-crime
package prepared by the Criminal
Justic Task Force.
The Task Force is Finishing pre
paration of a comprehensive anti
crime package to present to the 70th
session of the Texas Legislature in
January.

Court says senator ineligible for race
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Handed a Texas Su
preme Court opinion declaring him
ineligible to run, state Sen. J.E. “Bus
ter” Brown all but abandoned his
race for attorney general Wednes
day.
“My campaign for attorney gen
eral for 1986, in my estimation, ends
today,” Brown said, calling the high
court’s decision “obviously political.”
Although he technically could ask
the court to reconsider. Brown said,
“My guess is we will not utilize that
motion.”
The Lake Jackson Republican
said his lawyers are reviewing his
prospects. But he noted that all nine
Supreme Court justices are Demo
crats and said asking for reconsider
ation likely would be a waste of time.
“When it’s a political decision, a
motion for a rehearing is wasted.
They could have taken the legal
road or the political road. They
wrote a political opinion today,” he
t said.
In its 6-3 decision, the Supreme
Court rejected all arguments Brown
presented for having his name
placed on the May 3 GOP primary
ballot.
The justices said that because the
1985 Legislature — of which Brown
was a part — raised the salary for the
attorney general’s office. Brown isn’t
eligible to seek the job.
The 1st Court of Appeals in
Houston earlier ordered state GOP
Chairman George Strake Jr. to place
Brown’s name on the ballot. Strake
appealed to the Supreme Court,
asking it to tell the lower court to
withdraw that order. The high court
did.
The majority opinion, written by
Justice James Wallace, noted that the
Texas Constitution clearly states that
members of the Legislature aren’t el
igible to seek another office in mid
term if lawmakers increased the sal
ary for that office.
The 1985 Legislature gave the at
torney general — and other state
workers — a 3 percent annual pay
raise.
Brown argued several points, a
main contention being that the pay
raise was insubstantial.
The Supreme Court disagreed.
“The constitution makes no dis
tinction between a small increase in
emoluments and a large one, be
tween an insubstantial increase and a
substantial one,” the opinion said.
“Had the framers of the constitution
not intended to include all increases,
they would surely have said so.”
But Justice Raul Gonzalez said. “A
3 percent across-the-board raise to
all state employees is not an increase
in emoluments of a civil office,
which offends (the constitution). . . .
No worthy objective or policy is
served by holding Brown ineligible
in this case because of a 3 percent in
crease to all state employees.”
Brown, whose Senate term runs
through 1988, said that despite the
court’s ruling he will continue push
ing his law-and-order themes.
