Condominiums, apartment

increasing numbers of citizens of

There is no doubt that the
South Texas area has its share of
problems. Nobody’s giving away
gas’. . . or even selling it cheap.
Some industries are at a
disadvantage, at least tempera
rily. >
However, the balance is still in
the direction of South Texas.
Temporarily, there are some
parts of Texas with an advantage
in energy costs Labor supply,
climate and other economic
factors more than equalize these
costs, however. ' ।

"As the increasing cost of
energy and raw materials
continues to, be a factor in
Alcoa’s future operations, we
will be intensifying our efforts to
conserve raw materials - such as
reclaiming caustic and water
used in the alumina and
chemicals processes,” Kuerner
said.
The mud lakes, as they are
commonly called, are protected
by high dikes and water and
caustic are reclaimed from the
lakes after the production
residue is stored in them.
Kuerner said that most of the
$8 million in engineering and
maintenance projects will be in
Point Comfort’s Alumina and
Chemicals plant for equipment
improvement and modernizing
facilities.
A great deal of effort will be
made to conserve energy by
improving utilization of heat,

that is changing raw materials,
