Quartzite was 83 miles without any

Through the first part of the trip,
the most pressing problem has been
to find places to stay overnight.
Their goal has been to average 100
miles a day. Wehn they stopped for a
noon break in Llano, they had
already covered 90 miles and were
planning a stop at Burnet for the
night.
"We made the mistake a couple of
times to travel to the next town since
we were feeling good and there was
still a lot of daylight," Egger said.
"You might know, the next town
didn’t have any motels."

Llano Independent School District
is having its annual open house on
Tuesday, October 4, 1988, from 6
p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on all campuses.
To recognize those individuals re-
sponsible for and pay tribute to the
new construction that has just been
completed, a general assembly of all
open house attendees and teachers
will be held in the new junior high
cafetorium, starting at 6 p.m. This

AGFUND monies shall not be
utilized to promote any political
candidate running for more than one
elective office at the same time.
We strongly recommend legisla-
tion whereby property, owners vic-
timized by erroneous or improper
appraisals in inheritance tax and
land condemnation cases have a
course of action at civil law against
such appraisers, including the a-

damages.
Currently, such property owners
have no legal recourse against
appraisers using improper or erron-

Stuewe and other tourism, and
recreation spokespersons spoke at
the seventh in a series of meetings
on LCRA water policy.
Tourism generated more than $55
million for Burnet and Llano Coun-
ties in 1986, Stuewe said, which "is
only a small portion of the recrea-
tional dollar potential in the High-
land Lakes."
Stuewe quoted recent surveys
conducted by the tourism division of
the Texas Department of Commerce
which show that beaches and lakes
are important factors for many who
are considering a vacation spot.

Schwinn. The men packed their gear
and took a flight from Cedar Rapids
to San Diego, arriving there Septem-
ber 7, about noon. Shortly after they
deplaned and got their bicycles, they
headed east.
"We haven’t taken a direct route,”
Moscrip said. "We have sort of
wandered around a bit taking in
some of the sights. We went up into
the mountains a ways and then
across the desert. The people have
been so good to us all the way."
Places they have visited include the
San Carlos Reservation, Carlsbad
Caverns, Coolidge Dam and other
places. They report the Indians were
very much interested in their trip.

success in reducing the note and had
asked the county for help.
The money for reduction of the note
came from the indigent health care

They sat in the shade on the front
foyer of the Llano Dairy Queen.
Leaning against the wall were two
bicycles packed with travel gear and
extra water, along with all of the
necessities of a cross-country tour. It
was just one stop of a long-cherished
dream — to make a cross country
bicycle tour of the United States from
San Diego, California to Jackson-
ville. Florida.
Now you might be thinking thia is a
pair of youngsters filled with youth-
fill vigor. You shold meet Cliff
Egger, 65 and Bud Moscrip, 59,
whose homes are in Cedar Rapids,
Iowa. They still have their vim and
vigor and adventurous spirits despite
the graying hair and the tell-tale
signs that come in that age bracket.
To their friends at home — when
Cliff and Bud stopped in Llano for
their noon meal, they were hale and
hearty and thoroughly enjoying their
trip.
"This is something I have always
wanted to do,” Egger said. "It
wasn’t until this last year that I was
able to retire and Bud came over to
see me one day."
Taking up the story, Moscrip, who
owns his own bicycle shop in Cedar
Rapids, said toCliff, "You know that
trip you have always wanted to take?
Let's do it."
"He called my bluff," laughed

Commissioners continued their
stand on not allowing relief from
penalties and interest for failure to
pay taxes. The bottom line has
always been that the owner is
responsible to see that his or her
taxes are paid on time.
Bids have been called for November
14 for two new police cars for the
sheriff’s department. Bids will be
opened at 10 a.m.
As of Tuesday morning, there was

that among their favorite vacation
activities were fishing, camping and
water activities,” Stuewe said.
She encouraged directors to "rec-
ognize recreation for the industry it
is...to 600 people in Burnet and
Llano Counties, recreation and tour-
ism is their job, their career and their
livelihood.”
Stuewe also encouraged LCRA to
"make sure the lakes are full enough
for recreation, clean for recreation
and safe for recreation” and to work

AUSTIN — The Lower Colorado
River Authority’s water policy
should support Texas’ growing rec-
reation and tourism industry, LCRA
directors were told September 20.
Water recreation "is not only a
service which (LCRA) is to provide,
but it is also an industry which
brings millions of dollars to the lake
area," said Carol Stuewe, executive
director of the Highland Lakes
Tourist Association.
She said tourism is a primary
industry in the Highland Lakes area,
because of the water recreation
available, and that tourism is the
second largest industry in the state.
