Alaskan oil spill
prompts fishermen
to seek lost income
VALDEZ, Alaska (AP) — Fisher
men fearing lost income from the
nation’s biggest oil spill sought com
pensation Sunday as Alaska’s gover
nor prepared to declare once-pris-
tine Prince William Sound a disaster
area.
“We’re not ready to absorb any
loss,” said Riki Ott, spokesman for
United Fishermen of Alaska. “We
expect full compensation.”
Exxon Shipping Co. scheduled a
meeting Sunday between fishermen
and a company claims officer.
Meanwhile, the toll on the sound’s
abundant wildlife began to mount as
efforts continued to clean up the
crude oil. The Coast Guard said the
slick and patches of oil separated
from it were spread over 50 square
miles.
Department of Interior spokes
man Pamela Bergmann said a wild
life specialist sailed in the sound Sat
urday and observed 75 ducks and
two otters coated with oil. They
could not be captured for cleaning,
she said.
Gov. Steve Cowper planned to de
clare the area a disaster, and pass on
a disaster declaration request to
President Bush, said Terence O’Mal
ley, Cowper’s deputy press secretary.
The 987-foot tanker Exxon Val
dez, carrying 1.2 million barrels of
North Slope crude oil loaded at Val
dez, ran onto a reef 25 nviles from
the port early Friday after swinging
out of a traffic lane to avoid ice. Val
dez is at the southern end of the 800-
mile Alaska oil pipeline.
Estimates put the spill at 240,000
barrels of oil, or about 10.1 million
gallons, making it the biggest U.S.
spill on record. The only larger oil-
related accident in U.S. waters was
the spilling and burning of up to
10.7 million gallons of oil when two
ships collided in Galveston Bay in
1979.
More than four miles of floating
boom had been placed in an effort to
contain the oil, the Coast Guard said
Sunday. An additional 3,000 feet
was to be deployed at Galena Bay at
the request of fishermen. Skimming
boats worked to remove the oil.
The transfer of oil remaining
aboard the Exxon Valdez to the Ex
xon Baton Rouge resumed late Sat
urday. The Coast guard said about
84,000 gallons of oil an hour was be
ing transferred; at that rate, the un
loading could take seven days.
About 11,000 barrels of oil was re
moved Saturday, but pumping was
halted quickly because more oil wai
leaking.
Tests were under way to deter
mine if dispersal chemicals should
be used despite the potential foren
vironmental damage. The agents
need wave action to help brealup
the thick crude oil. Weather hi
been calm since the accident, but tilt
National Weather Service said tht
wind was expected to increase to2i
mph and stir up a 5- to 6-foot chop
on the sound.
Waves may make it more difficult
to skim oil off the water, said Coast
Guard Lt. Ed Wieliczkiewicz.
Foreclosures
down, rent up
in Houston
HOUSTON (AP) — Retail
rental rates were up and foreclo
sures were down last year as con
ditions improved for Houston
shopping center owners.
“Everything is pointing in the
upward direction,” said Can
Cairns of Revac, a Houston real
estate research firm.
Revac reported that foreclo
sures of Houston shopping cen
ters dropped nearly 50 percent
last year. Foreclosures, or the sale
of centers in lieu of foreclosure,
declined from 123 in 1987 tohh
in 1988, Revac said.
“Increased investor activity
coupled with Houston’s improv
ing economy points to a brighter
picture overall for Houston-area
shopping centers in 1989,” Cairns
said in a summary of Revac’s
1989 retail survey.
Revac said eight centers, with a
total of 1.3 million square feet,
were constructed in 1988, a 78
percent increase over 1987. Six
centers totaling 985,822 square
feet were under construction as
of Jan. 1.
Revac reported that 77.6 per
cent of Houston’s shopping cen
ter space was occupied at the end
of 1988, a slight improvement
over occupancy rates at mid-
1988.
