MEXICO CITY (AP) - Texans can

State Agriculture Commissioner
Reagan Brown.
Brown called Austin. Texas, on
Tuesday after conferring with Mario
Antonio Martinez, undersecretary of
agriculture for fruits and vegetables,
and Carlos Gamma, spokesman for
more than 300 horticulture unions.
Brown said he talked with the
Mexican officials following "cancer
scares" in published reports about
pesticides used to treat Mexican fruits
and vegetables.
He said 458 million pounds of
Mexican produce had been imported
since September, including waterme-
lons. cantaloupes and limes. To
illustrate that was not a large import
figure, Brown said the Rio Grande
Valley produces more than 458 million
; pounds of onions each year.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Carter
administration will fight the compro-
mise balanced budget in Congress
because it increases defense depend-
ing at the expense of domestic
programs.
The president told community
leaders from 20 states Tuesday that
the 1981 budget approved by a
House-Senate conference committee
would "severely restrain some
programs that have been carefully
designed" to promote jobs, help cities
and provide job training.
■ "We cannot afford to slice those too
deeply and...add money for defense
that is more than we actually need."
he said.
The budget compromise already
faces stiff opposition in the House,
there it due on the floor Thursday.
Five liberal-to-moderate House mem-
bers on the conference committee
opposed the spending plan.
House and Senate negotiators
agreed last week on a $613.3 billion
budget for the fiscal year that begins
Oct. 1. It would be the first balanced
budget in 12 years.

that a bid for jail renovation
from Tagco Industries of
Hereford was already before
commissioners in open form.
The local firm was recently
asked by commissioners to
work up a series of
specifications on what work
would need to be done to
renovate the jail and the
approximate cost to the
county.
Those recommendations
were used as guidelines for
the jail renovation project
and when bids were sought
on the project the local firm
retained its original esti-
mates as a bid on the job.
After the protest on the
issue commissioners voted to
delay opening of bids until
the next meeting in order to
satisfy bidders and give all
interested parties an oppor-
tunity to submit figures
which will remain confiden-
tial until bid opening time.
In other bid-opening ac-
ti n, commissioners accepted
a bid on seal coating and
patching materials for county
roads, but rejected all bids on
a truck for Precinct 4.

While Texas motorists
waited in long lines at gas

wholesalers and retailers

gallons of fuel out-of-state to

of a single instance in which

Ms. Dewton acknowledged.

Asked if it was not
"ludicrous” to talk about
surpluses when cars are lined
up for gas, Tucker told
reporters. "That's kind of
what we think.”
He said 11 firms are being
audited and one has been
issued a "Notice of Probable
Violation” for $513,000,
which was the amount of
money it allegedly made off
out-of-state sales of seven
million gallons.
Chairman Bob Eckhardt of
the Subcommittee on
Oversight and Investigations
identified the firm as H & A
Petroleum Services, Inc., of
Tomball.
Tucker said if H & A's
profit was typical, those who
withheld gas to sell it on the
spot market made additional
profits of $10 million to $12
million. Tucker refused to
identify any other com-
panies.
He said the gas was stored
in three terminals at Houston
and eventually reached
markets in the Midwest and
the East for "prices con-
siderably higher" than those
in Texas.
Asked if withholding the
gas was one reason for the
Texas shortage. Tucker said,
“I think it certainly was, and
I'm sure it was in the
Houston area and probably
the Dallas area where lines
were as long as any place in
the country.”

Commissioner James Voy-

In a session which resumed
following the lunch hour,
commissioners took up con-

Alex Schrocter. county
auditor, informed commis-
sioners that an estimate will
be required concerning

Schrocter was advised to

Commissioner Bruce Cole-
man. who is a member of the
central taxing board for the
county gave a report on the
possibility of a central taxing
office which would consoli-
date the tax collecting efforts
of the county, hospital
district, schools and the High
Plains Underground Water
District in one office.
"The bodies involved want
to go into a central appraisal
and collecting program Jan.
1 of 1981, although it
wouldn't be mandatory until
1982. Those involved think
they are ready for it."
Coleman stated.
According to Coleman,
representatives on the cen-
tral beard are reaffirming the
desires of various agencies to
be affected by centraliza-
tion.
Coleman pointed out that
one idea being considered is
that various agencies would
provide funding for a central
office on the basis of the
amount of money the central
office collected for each
agency.
"Under this system, the
county's cost would come
down while the school and
hospital district would see
slightly higher costs. The
county has been paying more
per dollar collected than most
cther bodies in the past. A
central collection office could
represent considerable sav-
ings and would add to
savings by avoiding duplica-
tion and maybe cutting the
need for aditional personnel
in some cases." Coleman
stated.
"All told, a central tax
office would be a much more
efficient operation with all
work for all bodies done in
one location." he added.
Commissioners encour-
aged Coleman to work tow ard
a program under which
funding for the central office
would come according to the
amount of money collected
for the various agencies.
Commissioners had plan-
ned to open bids on
renovations to the county jail,
but decided to delay opening
of bids until the June 9
commission meeting in order
to ensure that all bids on the
project would be submitted in

That action came when a
