Adlson County Judge Marvin Quinney said he has written to the Texas Natural Resources Conserva tion Commission and will contact lawmakers to try to remove outlying areas from the boundaries. 'We didn't create [the pollution]. San Antonio did. And we are going to pay through the nose for it” — Moe Schwab Comal County commissioner The three outlying counties are part of the San Antonio Metropoli tan Statistical Area (MSA). If San Antonio is declared a dirty- air city next year, as expected, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will likely impose uniform air pollution control measures through out the entire MSA. That means residents of Seguin, New Braunfels, and other commu nities also will face regulatory mea sures designed to reduce pollution. That makes sense, Shelley Whitworth, deputy director of the Alamo Area Council of Govern ments, said. She said suburban growth in those counties attracts commuters who fill San Antonio highways with vehicles every morning and evening, contributing to the over all pollution picture. “The EPA looks at where the emissions come from,” Whitworth said. “We don’t have a lot of indus try, so most of our emissions come from the roads. That is the source we have to control.” Furl 6 killed in holiday weekend wrecks HOUSTON (AP) — An illegal turn turned into a trip |ail for 17-year-old Philip Paras, as Harris County ?riff’s deputies conducted a “zero-tolerance” crack- ^ r wn over the weekend in a part of the county known / opean LI drag racing. setting a‘ ir T'| e teen-ager’s mom said he was caught driving in the counr.'-1 wron g place at the wrong time, a Halone" "II 0 knows what goes on in that area, but he was- Uup lareeC doing any of that,” Millette Paras said. “He just ide an illegal turn, and they took him to jail.” , : As of yesterday afternoon, at least 26 people had 7 -d in 22 crashes since 6 p.m. Friday. That compares ,' t . 29 deaths in the same span last year. The Texas De- H 7.Ument of Public Safety said just one of those crash- was being blamed on alcohol and three on wet roads, but it adds that investigations of many of the accidents remained in their early stages. The DPS estimated that 39 people would die in traf fic this holiday period. The forecast is down from the 45 deaths recorded in 41 accidents during the 78-hour Labor Day holiday period last year. Harris County deputies carted 27 people away for overnight jail stays Saturday evening and Sun day morning. The Harris County violations include tail-light vi olations, playing music too loud and improper lane changes. The zero tolerance enforcement was di rected at all violators, “especially the ones with high- performance vehicles,” according to a statement from the department. ve solved < :■ exists tor i — fbpandreou t member, Hiii. i values such ions and goo: FREE TEXTBOOKS' or minorities.' ?w tyHkwfy at&swroJ Jf. ire, TEXAS- WM VOLLEYBALL VS.
