trash dumping ban on Gulf
urged by conservationists
. AUSTIN (AP) — A conservation
e brgani/aiion recommended Tues-
ffllthat dumping trash in the Gulf
ip Mexico be banned by interna-
flOytional agreement.
he Washington-based Center
lt; for Environmental Education said
Ider the Texas land office should pre-
^(jeif pare a proposal for designating the
npilf,: Gulf as a special area.
f This would make it exempt from
dumping as are other enclosed bod-
n ' ies of water, such as the Mediterra-
i l3 ' near Sea and Persian Gulf.
ie ii^lfThis past September the center
sponsored a Texas beach cleanup
described as the biggest in the na
tion.
flaJjon In that project, 2,772 volunteers
|ff dj(! cleaned 124 tons of trash from 120
® miles of Texas coastline in three
hours.
“CEE’s report of its September
cleanup is 124 tons of proof why
we’ve got to stop messing with Texas
beaches,” State Land Commissioner
Garry Mauro said. “The report
shows more than ever that Texas
doesn’t have a litter problem, we’ve
got a garbage problem on our
beaches.”
CEE marine biologist Kathy
O’Hara, principal author of the re
port, said, “There is no reason why it
can’t be classified as a special area. It
has currents that direct all trash
right onto the shoreline. It also has
such heavy traffic of maritime ves
sels.”
O’Hara said the Coast Guard
could take the proposal to the Inter
national Convention for the Preven
tion of Pollution From Ships, MAR-
POL, short for marine pollution.
“Then all the other countries
would have to decide if they were
going to abide by this,” O’Hara said.
The CEE report recommended
that the Legislature revive the Texas
Coastal and Marine Council or des
ignate an existing agency to take the
lead on the coastal debris problem.
Among the report’s state recom
mendations were proposals to con
duct a feasibility study of providing
disposal facilities at Texas ports and
expanding a program to remove 30-
and 55-gallon drums of hazardous
materials from the coastline.
The report also said the Legis
lature should consider a bill regulat
ing the disposal of beverage con
tainers.
Tom Henderson, a spokesman
for Mauro’s office, said bills also
have been introduced to ban glass
containers and to increase the penal
ties for littering.
Suspect
still sought
in slaying
EDINBURG (AP) — A second
suspect was being sought in connec
tion with the slaying of a govern
ment drug informant, investigators
said Tuesday.
“We still have a suspect at large,”
said Rene Torres, a spokesman for
the Hidalgo County Sheriffs De
partment. “The investigation is in
full swing.”
Authorities arrested a Mexican
national at his South Texas resi
dence last week and said he was sus
pected of being the gunman in the
Feb. 8 death of Antonio Espinosa,
39, of Edinburg.
Espinosa was hit in the head by a
gunshot fired while he was driving
down a country road with his wife
and infant daughter.
Espinosa’s wife, Rosa, and the
couple’s 6-month-old daughter were
not hurt.
Authorities said the fatal shot was
fired from the passenger side of a
truck that pulled beside Espinosa’s
car.
Capt. Albert Garcia, a sheriffs in
vestigator, said the victim was an in
formant for the federal Drug En
forcement Administration. The
DEA has refused to confirm or deny
whether Espinosa worked for the
agency.
Pedro Luna-Trigo, 26, who was
arrested in connection with the case
Thursday in San Juan, remained in
jail Tuesday in lieu of $100,000
bond on a murder charge.

'recycling'
old buildings
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Some
people save aluminum cans. Others
save old newspapers. Edgar Dodson
salvages buildings.
“This is a way to help the econ
omy,” Dodson said as cranes lifted
the second floor of the old Ameri
cana Inn and his crew bulldozed the
first floor underneath.
“In today’s throwaway society, it’s
good to salvage anything you can,”
he said.
Dodson, third-generation owner
of Dodson House Moving in San An
tonio, was supervising a project in
which he is saving the top floor of a
motel.
A shopping center and car dealer
ship are scheduled to be built in its
place, he said.
Dodson buys buildings from de
molition contractors and resells
them.
He said it costs buyers half as
much to purchase and renovate a
used building than it does to con
struct a new one.
Elis crew was preparing two build
ings, both cut in half, for transport
to Dodson’s storage yard, which he
calls his “used-house lot.”
The structures are each 32 feet
wide and 66 feet long. The 20-mile
trip through the city takes about
four hours, he said.
“Most people see house movers as
a nuisance,” he said. “And we are an
inconvenience when we get out
there on the roads, but we’re only a
short inconvenience that the advan
tages far outweigh.”
Now Open on Saturday ’til 3 p.m.
