Oil prices went into a tailspin after the OPEC meeting closed, and ana lysts said they expected prices to hover around $10 to $12 a barrel until the cartel finds a way to limit output. The analysts said they did not foresee prices going much lower than that because demand would pick up. Houston independent oil analyst Dale Steffes said, “I think that some thing expected happened — after the inaction — that they made no de cision. “They just can’t come together with their set of morality and their set of individual needs.” The 13 Organization of Petro leum Exporting Countries oil min isters are set to meet again April 15 to try to agree on cutting back on oil production. Jack Carney, project manager for short-range forecasts at Houston’s Pace Consultants Inc., also was not surprised with OPEC’s inability to make a decision. « Carney said,“It’s hard to believe that OPEC would react in such a time frame.” He predicted the earliest OPEC would agree on a stabilized price of oil would be in about three months. York Mercantile Exchange the May delivery price of West Texas In termediate, the main U.S. crude and an important market indicator, dropped to $11.20 a barrel, down $2.74 from Friday’s closing price, before recovering to just over $12. Further drops in oil create more headaches for Texas government since it depends on oil revenues to run the state. Officials said every time the price of oil drops $1 the state loses $100 million and 14,000 to 23,000 jobs — about two to three jobs per 1,000 workers. Steffes said the industry has to have some help to keep afloat.

Reg Arnold told the House Com mittee on State, Federal and Inter national Relations,“This could wreak havoc to the statewide water plan approved by voters in 1985.” Arnold, fund manager of the Texas Water Development Board, said the approved $200 million bond issue to help farmers and ranchers use more efficient irrigations meth ods apparently was “totally out.” Attorney General Jim Mattox said latest Congressional efforts to re move the tax-exempt status of many state and municipal bond issues would adversely affect the Veterans Land Board loans, as well as numer ous other state bonds issues involv ing public housing, industrial devel opment, and state building bonds. Mattox said, “There is going to be a very heavy squeeze placed on the cities, counties, school districts, along with operations of private cor porations under these regulations.” Texas officials have been in formed that pending tax-reform leg islation in Congress apparently will be effective Sept. 1, 1986, if finally approved by both-houses. Under the new regulations, many municipal bond issues will be declared taxable until they can prove they are essen tial to state or local government. Arnold said there is a question whether bonds for flood relief will be tax exempt under present propo sals. Bonds that include sales of wa ter to non-profit private corpora tions would be taxable. Arnold said the difference in the interest rate between taxable and non-taxable bonds would be about 3 percent. “I don’t think we can pay for taxa ble bonds,” Arnold said. “It will cost too much.” Arnold said he understood it was the aim of Congressional leaders to save about $3 billion dollars by mak ing certain muncipal bonds taxable. “I’m sure that over the next five years this will cost Texas and its go- vermental subdivisions much more than $3 billion the federal govern ment will save,” he said.

Vance DON’T WAIT Prolonged bending, twisting, lifting, and awkward posture cause fatigue of muscles that have not been used for a long time. When a.muscle becomes fatigued, it may cause severe mus cle spasm and backache. Muscles move bones.bones son't move muscles, and as a result, a muscle spasm can pull the vertebrae out of alignment causing pain, discomfort and even disability. Chiropractors locate and correct distortions and misalignments of the spine. Don’t wait. The sooner your spine is checked after injury, the faster you will recover.
