them.—El Campo Leader-News.
South Texas legislators last
Thursday introduced legislation to
facilitate the construction of what
could be the two longest fishing
piers in the world. Another bill
from a South Texas legislator
would expand the purposes for
which the State School Land Board
could lease submerged inland lands
along the coast for commercial,
recreational and industrial uses. At
present they may lease only for in-
dustrial purposes. Rep. Leroy Wiet-
ing said that when the long bridge
across Copano Bay is divided in
the middle for a navigation chan-
nel it would make two of the long-
est fishing piers in the world.—

The condition of buildings, plus
some program deals that backfired,
is blamed for the losses.—Edna
