Bullet train hearings conclude with bids AUSTIN (AP) — A SVz-week hearing on proposals to build a 200 mph railroad linking Texas' largest cities wrapped up Tuesday, with two groups hoping to win the state's fran- diise next month. "This has been a vigorously contested case," remarked hearing examiner Larry Mont gomery, who presided over arguments from the two bid ding rail groups and objec tions from Southwest Airlines. "My math tells me that given any option ... two-thirds of you are going to be unhap py," Montgomery told the lawyers who had been arguing their cases since March 25. Two international groups — the French-American Texas TGV and the German-Ameri- can Texas FasTrac — each paid a $500,000 application fee to ask the state for a permit to build a "bullet" train between Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston and San Antonio. They each said that if awarded the license, their trains could be speeding pas sengers from Dallas to Hous ton by 1998 and put Texas in the forefront of 21st century economic development. "We're confident that we can do the job," said Ace Pick ens, a lawyer for the TGV group. "This s proposal is in the in terest of the people of Texas," said Sey Zimmerman, lawyer for FasTrac. "High-speed rail will have an enormous impact on our economy." Southwest Airlines, mean while, contends that the $5 bil lion to $7 billion project isn't economically feasible without taxpayer help. "It just doesn't work. It's ba sic economics," said airline lawyer Robert Heath. "That's why in Florida and other places in the country, high speed rail could not compete without a public subsidy." Montgomery said he would complete review of the testi mony and prepare a recom mendation for tne Texas High- Speed Rail Authority board by May 13. The board is slated to decide later in the month. Heath argued that costs are so high, a 200 mph train couldn't make money in com petition with air service. McDonald's plans recycling project WASHINGTON (AP) — Mc Donald's Corp. announced Tuesday a plan aimed at elimi nating 80 percent or more of the garbage created by its 8,500 fast- food restaurants across the na tion. The initiatives include the use of brown bags made of recycled paper, smaller paper napkins, recycling of bemnd-the-counter cardboard boxes and the elimi nation of plastic cutlery wrap- ers where allowed by local ealth codes. And the company is trying out reusable coffee mugs, reusable coffee filters and pump-style bulk condiment dis pensers. McDonald's, the world's larg est food service organization, also said it is looking into replac ing the plastic forks, spoons and knives with starch-based cutlery that could be composted. It also plans large-scale, soil-enriching composting of food and paper wastes on an experimental oasis. Parts of the plan already have been implemented, such as the switch last fall from polystyrene sandwich boxes to a thin-layered wrap. Before the changes were begun, McDonald's outlets sent 2 million pounds of garbage per day to incinerators and landfills in the United States. The initiative was developed in collaboration with the Envi ronmental Defense Fund, an en vironmental advocacy group, which set up a joint task force with McDonald's to scrutinize the company's trash. Keith Magnuson, McDonald's director of operations devel opment, said he was "somew here between surprised and shocked," when he realized how much of the garbage produced at McDonald's restaurants could be reduced, reused, recycled or composted. "It's entirely possible that we can divert more than 80 percent of our on-premises solid waste," Magnuson said. "That came as a great surprise." The plan also has environmen tal goals other than waste reduc tion, such as converting to unb leached brown paper when possible, or to paper bleached with processes that don't use harmful chlorine. Richard Denison, a senior sci entist for EDF, said the McDon ald's initiative could set a trend for the food service industry.
