"THIS IS HOW IT’S DONE...” Baytown Officer Byron Jones agreed to be a “guinea pig” to show
applicants who took the Baytown Civil Service Commission’s test for patrolmen how the physical
agility portion of the test is done. Lt. Charles Cowan, BPD training and personnel director, said 41
persons took Thursday's written exams and were scheduled to run through an obstacle course in
which a six-foot wall must be scaled twice and a 70-pound dummy that Jones is moving must be
picked up and placed in position within an allotted time. Five patrolmen will be hired from the
group who pass both tests, Cowan said.

BEIRUT. Lebanon (AP) —
The U.S. Embassy in Beirut an
nounced today it is ending most
of its operations and arranging
another evacuation of Ameri
cans, as Palestinian leader Ya
sir Arafat postponed a reconci
liation meeting with Syrian
President. Hafez. Assad.
Fighting continued along the
no man's land between the
Moslem and Christian sectors
of Beirut and in northern and
eastern Lebanon. Security
sources and hospitals reported
at least 129 persons killed and
134 wounded during the night
The embassy announced
newspaper ads and English-lan-
guage broadcasts that it is ar-
ranging an evacuation Sunday
and strongly urged all Ameri-
cans still
leave.
It said it is closing down "the
majority of its functions
eluding consular services"
Monday “because of increasing
difficulties of operating in Bei
rut" and it “will no longer have
the.:. capability to effectively
provide protection for the
American community."
The announcement said the
evacuation would be open to
other foreigners. The British
Embassy urged British citizens
to join up.
The mode of transportation
has not been determined," said
a State Department spokesman
in Washington. But it was as-
sumed a U.S. Navy ship or a

Water Authority, it was decided
Thursday at a BAWA Board
meeting at city hall.
The Houston-based firm was
awarded a contract in 1973 for a
study. To date, it has received
$28,103 from the City of Baytown
which is picking up the tab for
BAWA until the water authority
begins operation.
Fees connected with the basic
type of system to be builfwill be
credited to the city during the
design phase, Dan Clinton, vice
president of the engineering
firm, said in a letter to City
Manager Fritz Lanham.
The amount to be credited will
be $13,531.65.
The engineering firm will
receive a fee reflecting 6.1 per
cent of the construction cost for
the surface water treatment
plant and distribution facilities.
Estimated cost for the water
plant is $9.5 million while the
distribution system
provements are estimated to
cost $1,060,000.
Clinton said. "We estimate
that preparation of plans and
specifications will require a total
time of seven months."
Five months will be spent on
preparing plans and the bidding
and contracting time will con-
sume two months. It will take 18
months to construct the
facilities. . « ’’ '
Total project time, according
to Clinton’s approximate
schedule, would be 30 months.
Lanham pointed out’ 6.1 per
cent of the construction cost is
the standard engineering fee es-
tablished by guidelines in the
engineering profession.
We've been pleased with
their work thus far and we
recommend they be selected (for
the project.)"

president, commented the
