"The time of year doesn't
seem to matter for beginning
this plan, but we as a school
district have so much going on
right now that I hate to add an-
other change right now," he
said.
Trustees apparantly agree
with Fleming's ideas and enthu-
siam. At the same Tuesday
school board meeting, they ex-
tended his three-year contract
another three years.
Fleming said that he readily
accepted the new contract
He said, "I have a great board
and school district to work with,
and my wife and I really love
the community."
Fleming admitted that he
would like to move to another
house, but said that he plans to
retire in Bastrop.

to assure themselves and their
financial backers that proposed
projects are unlikely to harm the
toad's habitat and run the risk of
penalties under the law which
prohibits any "taking" of an en-
dangered species.
Following FWS guidelines
could alert developers and
lenders to situations where fed-
eral development permits should
be sought and reassure them
aboat the feasibility and sound-
ness of other projects, said Fritz.
But appraisers at the session
said following the guidelines
would not relieve them of re-
sponsibility of reporting that the
value of a property in toad ter-
ritory could be affected unless
development meets federal per-
mitting and related re-
quirements.
Bankers said such notations
by appraisers will raise a red
flag for title insurance carriers
and undermine loan approvals.
O'Donnell said routine busi-
ness like the sale of existing
homes and reconstruction of
streets in the Tahitian Village
subdivision would face no diffi-
culty under the endangered
species act.
First National Bank President
Rey Veselka said the bank will
have to approach new develop-
ment projects in the toad's
known or likely habitat "on a
case by case basis."
In general his sentiments
were echoed by David Weir of
Smithville Savings an£ Loan.
At the end of the session,
Fritz voiced disappointment
with the outcome. He vowed,
however, to push ahead with
plans to form a steering com-
mittee to begin drafting a re-
gional habitat conservation plan.
O'Donnell said the scope of
such a plan cannot be deter-
mined until after a planned May
workshop aimed at revising a
1984 recovery plan for the toad.
Responding to concerns from
farmers and ranchers, a toad re-
searcher said changing land uses
in the toad's habitat, like clear-
ing , to plant hybrid pasture
grasses, could require a federal
permit from FWS. Logging in
the Lost Pines may also be
compatible with the toad's well
being, he said.
"It depends on how and when
you do it," said Dr. Andy Price
who has done extensive studies
on the toad's biology, especially
at Bastrop State Park.
Commissioner . Johnny^
Sanders agreed with Judge Fritz
that one positive note from the
Tuesday session may be a
stronger resolve from various
parts of the community to push
a regional habitat conservation
plan into existence.

Kesselus voiced support for a

Bastrop and called on the city to
continue improving parks~but

safe.

Suspects
age 19, were arrested in
Smithville the following day.
Bond for each suspect was
set at $25,000.
Originally there were 22 sus-
pects named in 23 indictments.
"Most of the suspects were in
Elgin so we rounded them up
first," said Bastrop County
Sheriffs Department Lt Charlie
Littleton.
He was referring to a multi-
agency operation that picked up
nine of the 17 Elgin suspects on
January 14.
"The other five suspects were
from Bastrop and Smithville so
we waited to pick them up. The
local police knew the suspects
to gather," Kesselus urged the
council.
Tuesday's session was the
second of four planned neigh-
borhood meetings in connection
with drafting a comprehensive
plan fo guide the city's de-
velopment in the years ahead.
Talbot said Bastrop appears
poiged for significant growth.

Friday afternoon. About 10
minutes after the meeting con-
cluded, Bastrop police were in
here with Iris Lindley," Littleton
said.
To date 14 of the 22 alleged
drug dealers have been arrested.
Two other suspects were al-
ready in custody in a Bastrop
jail during the initial round-up.

last August. The 33-year note
will carry a five percent interest
rate.
* "The estimated cost of the
new 24-bed facility has dropped
some since the loan was ap-
proved, but there will be some
added expense regarding land-
scaping and a parking lot," said
Langford.
He said construction costs are
estimated at $110 per square
foot If things go well, Langford
said the hospital board will be
ready to open the bids in mid-
March.
"We're predicting that it will
be 12 months before we open
our doors," he added.
Board members have already

scape the new facility.
