BEACH CITY - City Council
will hold a work session at 6:30
p.m Aug. 10 to discuss the con-
troversial issue of septic and
sewer systems not meeting city
guidelines. —
Council Tuesday called the
work session in an effort to
pacify residents in the Mc-
Collum Park area.
At the June City Council
meeting, Johnny Ball and some
15 of his neighbors approached
council about the city septic or-
dinance.
Ball was scheduled to appear
before council to request that
electrical power be restored on a
temporary basis to his property
at 10106 Mary Street.
The Ball family lost
everything in a May 23 house
fire.
In keeping with city or-
dinance, Houston Lighting and
Power Co. will not turn on elec-
tricity to property under con-
struction in Beach City without
the approval of the city. This
enables the city to provide con-
trol over septic systems within
its boundaries.
The ordinance follows state
guidelines and stipulates that,
without special £ ipproval, homes
with septic systei ms be built on at
least one acre c if land. The or-
dinance does not apply to
already existing structures but
only to new homes under con-
struction or to tli lose which have
been destroyed and are being
rebuilt.
Ball’s propert; /, like most in
the McCollum P ark area, does
not meet the spec ifications.
Although the topic was not on
the agenda Tuesday night, there
were about 10 McCollum Park
area residents w ho attended the
council meeting in hopes of fin-
ding a solution to their problem.
The residents a isked council to
hold a work sessii in immediately
after Tuesday’s night meeting
but the requesl; was denied.
Council felt that discussion on
the issue would be lengthy and
preferred to wait until another
night.
Homes on Duzat Lane and
those near Carroll’s Grocery are
also expected to be discussed at
the work session.
In other action:
-I-Mayor Rusty Senac inform-
ed council and members of the
audience that the city has
received some 67 responses to
about 400 surveys mailed to
residents. He said that he and
Margaret Gainer, city
secretary, would tabulate the
results of the surveys and pre-
sent a report at the Aug. 23
meeting.
-(-Council gave Senac
authorization to enter Into a con-
tract with Attorney Jim Boyles
in an effort to fight a proposed
Houston Lighting and Power Co.
rate increase.
Senac tried unsuccessfully at
the June meeting to get council
to approve the contract but fail-
ed when he could not promise a
ceiling on the cost of the fight.
Details of the contract approv-
ed Tuesday night were
unavailable since council met in
executive session to discuss the
litigation. «*
+Council voted to send a
resolution to the Enviromental
Protection Agency asking that
Houston be given more time to
meet federal EPA guidelines on
ozone levels.
Senac told council that the
Houston-Galveston Area Council
was asking local municipalities
to endorse a resolution stating
that they are aware that a pro-
blem exists and that they are
working on a solution but asking
for more time.
"It could mean that the feds
will pull all funding for roads,
etc. and that would be
devastating to economic
development in the Houston
area,” Senac said.
“It is not just the city of
Houston’s problem. It is the en-
tire area’s problem,” he added.
All aldermen voted in favor of
the resolution with the exception
of Dan Johnson who abstained.
Fields supports ‘world study’ of air quality
By DAVID MOHLMAN
U.S. Rep. Jack Fields says
he’s working for “responsive
and also practical” air quality
regulations:
Fields serves on a House sub-
committee that will propose
changes in the Clean Air Act
later this year.
During a visit Monday to
Chevron’s Cedar Bayou Plant,
Fields told about 25 plant super-
visors he wants a “real world
study” that would provide
reliable data on ozone and other
air pollutants.
Current air quality standards,
set in the earl y 1970s, were
established from studies in con-
trolled laborator; f conditions, ac-
cording to Fields.
Petrochemical industries have
spent billions to < :ontrol losses to
the atmosphere, i said Larry Luc-
chesi, Cedar Bayou plant
manager. During the past five
years, the Ceda r Bayou Plant
has reduced its emissions by
half, he said.
Lucchesi add ed industries
throughout the Houston Ship
Channel area have reduced
emissions similarly during the
past 5-10 years.
Reducing emissions further,
even by small increments, might
require “tremendous spending,”
according to Fields.
Fields indicated citizens are
mistaken when they assume
large corporations have vast
sums of money to spend. He said
Congress should use reason
when legislating on air quality
and suggested he wants to in-
crease the amount of money cor-
porations spend for projects that
will create jobs.
Fields added he encourages
corporate managers In Califor-
nia and other areas to choose
Texas when they build new
facilities.
“There are some areas like
Los Angeles — they just don’t
care,” Fields said. “They don’t
like any kind of industry in their
area.”
In some parts of California,
residents are working to
depopulate and to reduce the
amount of Industry where they
live, noted Cul Ingram, Chevron
public affairs manager.
Fields said he’s telling cor-
porate managers their facilities
are welcome here in his district.
Host families for exchange students sought
Kay Williams is making an ap-
peal for host families who will in-
vite a foreign exchange student
into their home for the 1988-89
academic year.
Williams is the Area Repre-
sentative for Educational Foun-
dation for Foreign Study, a non-
profit organization which ar-
ranges high school exchanges.
Students arrive here in just a
few weeks — and many have yet
to be placed with h iost families.
The difficulty pi acing students
this year is unpre cedented, said
Williams. For some reason,
American familie s are not vol-
unteering in their usual num-
bers, she said.
“It’s not only a case of fam-
ilies not having much surplus in-
come. Economic difficulties
have been with us for a long
time, but we’ve never had as
much trouble placing students
before. Besides, people in the
less affluent states are some of
the most willing to host. We’re
looking for happy, caring homes
for our students, not necessarily
wealthy ones.”
Exchange students speak Eng-
lish, have good grades, and br-
ing their own insurance and
spending money. The students
have a real desire to learn more
about the “American way of
life.” Host families provide
meals and a bed, and families
are allowed to choose their own
student.

Williams at 827-1009 or 1-800-44-

Use of TED device delayed by Senate
WASHINGTON (AP) - The
Senate has voted to delay a Na-
tional Marine Fisheries Service
requirement that shrimp
fishermen use devices to prevent
sea turtles from being snared
and drowned in nets.
Under an amendment propos-
ed by Sen. Howell Heflin, D-Ala.,
shrimp boats would not have to
use turtle excluder devices — or
TEDs — in offshore waters
before May 1,1989, or in inshore
waters before May 1,1990.
Approved Monday, the
language represented a com-
promise worked out by Heflin
and Sen. George Mitchell, D-
Maine, floor manager of legisla-
tion to reauthorize and
strengthen the Endangered
Species Act.
The compromise, which also
provides for a National
Academy of Sciences study of
sea turtle populations and the
value of TEDs, allowed the
Senate to begin debate on the en-
dangered specie:! legislation,
similar to a House- passed bill.
The House version of the
reauthorization bill contains a
ban on requiring TEDs in in-
shore waters before May 1990.
