As the fighting intensified Fri-
day, President Alvaro Magana
appealed for an end to the blood-
shed. The centrist president’s
plea came on the third anniver-
sary of a military coup that mark-
ed the start of the civil war in this
Central American nation. There
was no immediate response from
the rebels.
“To those misled groups that
arms and incorporate themselves
into the effort of national
recovery,” Magana said.

claimed the man was a “gringo

spokesman cautioned that the
report was unconfirmed.

12 Years In The Making, Sewer Plant Opens
By TIM POTTER
Baytown’s new West District
Sewage • Treatment Plant is
operating —12 years after the Ci-
ty Council set money aside for the
project.
The West District . Plant
replaces a plant in Lakewood that
treated sewage from residents in
Wooster, Lakewood and
Brownwood.
Although the construction
phase of the project went three
months faster than expected, City
Manager Fritz Lanham says the
entire project has been delayed
by a lengthy grant process the ci-
ty used to get funding from the
Environmental Protection Agen-
cy.
The EPA has paid for 75 per-
cent of the $3.4 million construc-
tion cost, The city’s share was
$855,850. '
Although the EPA has funded
most of the construction cost,
delays in completing the plant
has been costly for the city. In
1975, the city estimated the pro-
ject would cost $1.1 million, but
the figure grew to $3.4 million by
the time the plant was finished.
Since 1976, the city had been
under an enforcement order from
the Texas Department of Water-
Resources to complete the plant,
which lies just south of Interstate
10 and west of Thompson Road.
The TDWR issued the order
because the overloaded
Lakewood plant was allowing un-
properly treated sewage to con-
taminate Burnet Bay.
The new plant can treat up to
1.32 million gallons of sewage a
’day. The Lakewood plant, which
ij> being dismantled, could only
treat 700,000 gallons a day.
A new lift station in Lakewood
pumps sewage to the West
District Plant, which then sends
the effluent to the San Jacinto.
River, where it is discharged. The
city must meet state regulations
for treatment of sewage discharg-
ed into the r,iver. Technicians test
the treated sewage in a
laboratory at the plant.
Several years ago the city had
considered piping the treated
sewage from the West District
Plant to nearby "Spring Gully,
which flows into Burnet Bay. But
residents strongly criticized the
proposal.
The new plant could be expand-
ed to treat sewage from San
Jacinto Mall and Meadowlake
Subdivision that now goes to a
treatment plant on West Main,
says Ivan Langford Jr., a con-
sulting engineer for the city.

Crosby Firemen Reject Redistricting
mm
By CAROL FOSTER
The executive board of Crosby
Volunteer Fire Department has
rejected the Crosby Chamber of
Commerce proposal to include
Huffman in a proposed legal fire
district'.
The board voted to keep its
boundaries within the Crosby
school district after citing a
number of disadvantages to the
expansion.
A prepared release said the
board considered the difficulty of
satisfying requirements for a
legal fire district which include
exact legal description of the land
to be taken in. The statement said
Crosby’s school district is well
known with clear boundaries.
However, the Huffman area
can boast no such clear defini-
tions because part of the area is in
the city limits of Houston.
Second on the list of reasons for
refusing the expansion was the
fact that a majority of the people
living in the Crosby district have
provided funds over the years to
support the fire department and
have paid for equipment and im-
provements.
Dale Nevel, assistant chief in
Crosby, said Huffman does not
enjoy the same support and the
department there has struggled
to maintain adequate funds. Had
Crosby included Huffman in the
proposed legal fire district, finan-
cial obligations of Huffman would
have to be assumed. ^
The statement noted that Huff-
man Volunteer Fire Department
members have “mixed feelings”
about being included in the
district because of management
and funds.
Darrell Perkins, an organizer
of the effort to start a legal fire
district, said earlier this year that
Huffman was one of several
neighboring areas invited to par-
ticipate which showed no interest.
Crosby firemen have worked
for .over six months drawing up
the plans and soliciting communi-
ty support. Some of those say they
feel too much progress had
already been made to stop and
revamp the district.
The problem of Huffman hav-
ing areas that are within Houston
city limits would be that taxes
could not be levied against those
properties
“In Huffman thei-e isn’t the con-
centrated growth Crosby has and
we’d just be getting a lot more
area to cover and not more
revenues to share the load,”
Nevel said.

Host Workshop Here
AUSTIN (AP) - Texas
lawmakers ought to increase pay
and benefits for teachers and
make it tougher for students to
get out of high school, a special
committee has recommended.
The Select Committee on Public
Education, which includes six
House members and five
senators, voted to urge legislators
who convene here in January to
raise starting faculty salaries to a
level “sufficient to attract an ade-
quate supply and distribution of
competent teachers. ’ ’
No specific figures were recom-
mended, since salarieswary from
region to region, Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby, committee chairman,
said. ........; — -•
A staff report said the average.
The panel also urged compress-
ing teachers’ salary scales, so
that newcomers would reach top
scale pay sooner. At present, it
takes about 18 years to reach top
scale. Hobby said the panel
wanted that reduced to 10 years.
f /
Panelists also recommended
better fringe benefits and annual
longevity pay raises for teachers.
At present, schoolteachers in
Texas earn an average $15,724,
compared with a national
average of $17,400.
“This is a recommendation
from an interim committee con-
sisting of the leadership of the
educational community of the
state saying we’ve got to pay
teachers enough to attract the
Dennis Clark, a registered

tary procedure courses at

stitutions, bylaws and other

tions and parliamentary
strategy.
