City officials look
for new utility firm
to supply power
By Bobby Bernshausen
Reporter
College Station’s contract with
Gulf States Utilities expires in 1991,
but city officials are already looking
for a new contractor.
College Station, along with Cald
well, Kirbyville and Newton, has
commissioned Lone Star Municipal
Power agency to help in the search.
The four cities also are conducting
an independent search.
The contract with Gulf States was
originally drawn up for twenty
years. Garry Lange, Technical Su
perintendent for the College Station
Utility Service Center, said that the
contractor proposed a rather large
rate increase, which put the contract
under arbitration. The final decision
ended the contract five years from
that time.
Director of Public Utilities John
Woody said that the city has sent re
quests to about twenty power Compa
nies, and within the last week has re
ceived five answers.
Woody said that the city is looking
to find a company that can best fit
their needs at the lowest cost. He
added that the search doesn’t mean
that the city won’t remain with Gulf
States.
“Shopping for power is no differ
ent than a housewife looking
through grocery ads to decide which
store to shop at,” Woody said.
“Though she may have some loyalty
to one in particular, if somebody else
offers her a better price, with the
same quality or better, she may shop
around.”
Although it would be easier to stay
with Gulf States, which would elimi
nate the conversion process, the city
will make its decision “based on re
liability, low cost and availability,”
Woody said.
Out of the companies under con
sideration, Woody said that the city
should have the list narrowed down
to two or three possibilities within six
months.
State puts road blocks
out to bar Florida citrus
McALLEN (AP) — Highway
roadblocks will be set up to keep
Florida citrus out of Texas during a
30-day emergency quarantine de
clared Thursday, a state agriculture
official said.
“We’ll have roadblocks in East
Texas on Interstate 10, and also
probably on Interstate 20 beginning
Monday morning to stop any trucks
that have Florida citrus,” Deputy
Agriculture Commissioner Mike
Moeller said after meeting with cit
rus producers.
The Texas quarantine is in re
sponse to the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s decision Tuesday to
lift a ban on shipments of Florida cit
rus to other citrus-producing states.
The ban went into effect after bacte
rial citrus canker was discovered in
Florida in 1984.
“We’ve got to do this to prevent
citrus canker from coming into
Texas,” Agriculture Commissioner
Jim Hightower said. “If we let it in,
we are letting in an economic disas
ter for Texas farmers and workers,
for the Rio Grande Valley economy
and the entire Texas economy.”
Hightower charged that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture bowed to
pressure from Florida growers when
it lifted the ban.
Moeller said trucks carrying Flor
ida citrus “will either be turned
around and sent back to Florida or,
if possible, fumigated, sealed and
sent on their way across Texas to
their destination.”
The quarantine applies to fruit as
well as plants, Moeller said.
Citrus canker can cause defolia
tion and other damage to leaves and
twigs of plants, and can render the
fruit unmarketable.
Officials: Radiation
at firms not harmful
DALLAS (AP) — Trace radioac
tive leaks from air guns found at six
area Firms apparently did not con
taminate workers or products, state
officials said,
Ratliff said water is suspected of
loosening the epoxy glue that held
the radioactive substance in the 3M
Texas Radiation Control Board
spokesman Richard Ratliff said state
investigators have checked 70 com
panies in the state that produce
food/beverage, cosmetic or chemical
products, and have found contami
nation at 10 of those sites, including
three Coca-Cola bottling plants. _
guns.
The only contamination found at
the bottling plants was in the vac
uum cleaner bags, Ratliff said.
Ratliff, however, said investiga
tors found no threat to the public at
any of those sites, eight of which are
in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Judge says
man’s rights
not violated
They include: the Ashland Chem
ical Co. plant in South Dallas, KTI
Chemical Inc. in Carrollton, a small
plastics company in Denton, a photo
lab in Austin and one in Dallas, an
unidentified chemical company in
Dallas and four Coca-Cola bottling
plants — two in Dallas and one each
in Fort Worth and Houston.
The Coca-Cola products that may
i pi
have been affected were confined to
stacks of aluminum can lids and the
metal caps used for bottles, officials
said.
The problem air ionizer guns
made by 3M Corp. use compressed
air that shoots past the radioactive
polonium-210. The compressed air,
positively charged by the polonium,
reduces static and knocks off any
aluminum specks from lids and caps,
while a high-speed vacuum cleaner
gathers the specks.
DALLAS (AP) — A federal judge
has tossed out a $2.5 million lawsuit
filed by a man who was arrested and
jailed for eight months for a crime
he did nopcommit.
,:v X ^ ■i
Judge Robert Maloney ruled last
week that Marvin Wells’ constitu
tional rights were not violated by his
arrest and incarceration. Wells had
sued the Carrollton and Mesquite
police departments.
Wells’ mother, Ruth Settles of
Flint, Mich., said she thought the
ruling was unfair.
“If somebody is arrested and then
kept in jail for eight months when he
did nothing wrong, it looks to me
like his constitutional rights were vi
olated,” she said.
Wells was arrested for a robbery
and slaying at a Carrollton conve
nience store Nov. 21, 1985. He was
identified from a videotape taken by
a store camera.
