PALAUANS will unfortunately have one less place to drop locally with the upcoming \
Closing of Winn’s. The lack of retail stores in the city not only forces many locals to go out-
of-town to spend their money, but also has a direct negative impact on the city’s tax base

venue. A number of el

He added that the city must provide evidence
of the deposit; making the committee wonder
whether the FAA expects the money up front,
or just a commitment.
Committee members are keeping options
open by investigating the use of other.property
available in the city. One such possibility is a
section of land located approximately one mile
east of the airport property. During the last
council meeting, council members gave Mayor
Geo. Holst authority to enter into negotiations
with property owners.
The biggest advantage to locating a prison
closer to town comes from money saved in in-
frastructure. According to several members of

drug bust took place, making some of those arrested already in-
dicted for the alleged actions, according to Matagorda County
Sheriff Keith Kilgore. J
"This is a little unusual," Kilgore remarked about the indict-
ments, "It doesn't happen often around here.”
Kilgore said the funds for drug busts such as this came from a
$50,000 line item included in Matagorda County’s budget to help
combat narcotic trafficking throughout the county.
"Based on that we were able to put together an effective nar-
cotic unit which led not oniy io these arrests, but some past ar-
rests as well. A lot of money and man hours were spent making
these cases,” Kilgore said. v
"We have some quality people in this department and I gin
proud of them,” Kilgore stated, adding that because of their Ef-
forts, the county has been.able to accomplish so much.
"They’ve done a heck of a job," he said.
Also included in the 29 arrests Monday were: *5

the committee, it would cost a great deal less to
run sewer and water lines to a property located
closer to town.
Another letter, this one sent to City Adminis-
trator Charles Winfield from J. Steve Elliott
from First Southwest Company Investment
Bankers in San Antonio explained how the city
could finance property and infrastructure by
selling bonds which could be paid bdck 'Aiy
projected revenues made from a prison.
If Palacios obtained a 1,000 bed unit, pro-
jected revenues would amount to approxi-
mately $174,252 per year. Therefore the city
could afford a $1.8 million bond paid back
over a 20 year period of time at an interest rate
of 6.25%.
