The restaurants listed below
vere inspected Mar. 10-21 by the
ka/os County Health Depart-
lent. The information is based
Mfood service establishment in-
tdon reports.
Jlavid Jefferson, a registered
itarian at the department, says
gtaurants with scores of 95 or
Ive generally have excellent
■radons and facilities. Jeffer-
on says restaurants with scores in
he 70s or low 80s usually have se-
ous violations on the health re-
ort.
Stores can be misleading, Jef-
iers. in says, because restaurants
[an achieve the same score by
leavin', several major violations or
l nlabundance of minor viola-
ions. He says the major violations
ight close an establishment
lown while some minor viola-
Js can be corrected while the

Analysts: Oil prices
should level out
at $10-$12 a barrel
Associated Press
HOUSTON — State oil analysts
said Monday they aren’t surprised
OPEC oil ministers broke off a nine-
day attempt to come to terms on a
stablized price of oil, and that the
non-agreement creates further
problems for oil companies and oil-
dependent Texas.
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.

Officials: Tax reform
may hurt water plan
Associated Press
AUSTIN — Legislators studying
federal tax-reform proposals were
told Monday that Texas’ new
statewide water plan and the Veter
ans Land program could be hurt by
Congressional proposals.
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.

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.
