Pearl Increases Price Senator rat™..
Casts Vote With
Of Cans For Recycling Majority
A 50% increase in the price
paid for empty aluminum ber
era«e cans has been announced
by Robert E. Jenkins, of the
Pearl Beer Distributing Co..
Kastrop, which operates an
aluminum can collection center.
"We're increasing our price
from 10 cents to 15 cents per
pound for aluminum beverage
cans because of corresponding
increases in the price of raw
and scrap aluminum", Jenkins
said.
Jenkins said the price in-
crease is effective imediately at
all 81 of the Pearl Distributor-
ships in Texas which operate
aluminum can collection cen
ters. The Pearl Distributorship
has been paying 10 cents a
pound for recyclable aluminum
beverage cans since the state
wide network began operating
over one year ago. The Pearl
Beer Distributing Co. of Bas
trop has been responsible for
removing 413.000 beverage
cans from the Bastrop County
area environment. "This 50%
price increase is very signifi-
cant because as the value of
aluminum scrap goes up, re-
cycling becomes more attrac-
tive and economically feasible
to the public," Jenkins went on.
"This 50% price increase will
attract more people to partici-
pate in our recycling program.
We also feel that the price
increase will result in a greater
emphasis on recycling by
everyone. It also should result
in substantial increases in the

FROM 10:00 TO 5:30
Senator Bill Patman of Gana
do cast his vote with the
majority in favor of inclusion of
the right-to-work law in the
new Texas Constitution when
the matter came before the
convention recently. At the
request of its sponsors, the
proposal was changed to an
alternative issue for the voters
to consider when they vote on
whether to accept or reject the
entire constitution.
In this manner, a majority of
voters approving of the right-to
work provision in the constitu
tion will cause its inclusion as
part of the old 1876 Constitu
tion, even if the new constitu-
tion is defeated at the polls. The
same majority approval cou-
pled with majority approval of
the new constitution would
cause inclusion of the provision
in the new constitution. Voters
disapproval of the provision
would result in its exclusion,
even if the new constitution is
approved.
The date for the election on
the new constitution has not as
yet been set, but is expected to
be November 5, 1974.

Earlier this year, Pearl didi

also has announced plans to
operate an aluminum can
manufacturing plant near the
brewery. The $5 million plant is
scheduled to go into operation
next year.

Nauert Briefs Kiwanians On Highway 71
"Inflation and the rising costs
ill materials and labor affect
highway construction the same
as anything else," said Stale
Highway Department Senior
Resident Engineer Robert W.
i Bob) Nauert to a meeting of
the Bastrop Kiwanis t'lub at
The Magic Mill la-1 week.
"Although the State High
way Department has about the
same gross funds it has had in
previous years," Nauert ex
plained, "the money buys a lot
less road then it used to buy."
He also commented on the
progress on the Highway 71
four lane divided section be-
tween Austin and Bastrop, and
said that plans are now on the
boards for another four lane
divided section from Bastrop to
the Fayette County line east of
Smithville, with the ultimate
goal of extending the facility to
Columbus, where it joins l.H.
10.
In response to questions
about the highway completion
schedules, Nauert explained
that time factors such as delays
in acquiring rights-of-way,
weather factors, and the avail
ability of state and federal
funds all enter into the picture.
The next section of Highway
71 due to be divided is that
between the crossing on Color
ado River and the MK&T
overpass east of Smithville, a
route which is planned to circle
that town at the north segment.
The bypass will begin near the
spot where the Winchester
Road intersects 71. and will
continue around the city to
rejoin the old 71 route at the
Katy Overpass.
In state and federal highway
projects, Nauert said, the
county or city involved partici
paies in the purchase of rights
of way, for which appraised
values must be offered to
landowners. The state reim
burses the county for one half
of this cost, and counties
sometimes find it difficult to
find funds for the other half.
Monies appropriated to the
State liighwav Department
come in part from the gasoline
tax of I cents ,i gallon paid to
the federal government and the
"> cents ,i gallon lax paid to 'he
slate, as well as Irom parts of
ihe car license and registration
fees.
In recent \ears, Nauert said,
there have been various at
tempts by other units of
government to share in the
highway fund, on the theory
lhal the department is well off
financially. The facts are. the
engineer explained, that this
highway department affluence
is more imagined lhan real, and
thai the department always has
needs for more money for
building, improving and repair
ing roads I han it has of funds.
He added that the time gap
between ihe planning and cul
ruination of a typical new.
construction or expanded pro
jei't is around t> to 7 years.
In addition to the work now
in progress on 71, Nauerl said
that during the summer season
many lesser roads must be
seal coated and otherw ise re-
paired or maintained, and that
some oi this work will begin in
his residency in about two
weeks. The summer is the
preferred season lor this opera
tion. —-J.T.H.
