Light Bills...
Con Id from Pi
f>5 per cent for the past two
months, and "it looks like it will
get worse as we get further into
the year " "Whenever curtail
merits occur," Davis explained,
"we have to purchase higher
priced gas, or switch our power
plants over to fuel oil, which
costs even more than natural
gas "
As reflected in this month's
bill, CPI, paid an average cost
of 74 cents per million BTl s for
its power plant fuel In July, the
fuel adjustment will be based on
an even higher fuel cost
CPL is currently having to
pay from $1 10 to $1 40 per
million BTC's for spot-
purchased natural gas, while
fuel oil costs up to $2 20 per
million RTF ’s
"The more our natural gas
supply is curtailed, the more oil
we ll have to use to keep our
power plants running,"' the CPI.
President pointed out "Those
higher fuel costs will be
reflected in our customers' bills
every month "
With the current fuel cost of 74
cents, a residential customer
using KXto kilowatt fiours of
electricity a month will pay a
fuel adjustment of $7 13 on a
base bill of $23 43 This is $1 98
more than in May
In an effort to control
spiraling fuel costs. CPL is
gearing up to use other types of
fuel as soon as possible The
company is participating in a
nuclear power plant to be built
in Matagorda County, and a
coal fired generating plant is
expected to begin operation in
1979 The company is also
involved in an exploration and
drilling program in an attempt
to find additional natural gas
supplies
State Of
Region...
Cont'd from P i
assessments are soon out-
dated Inequities come into
existence if reassessment is
not continuous because a new
structure comes on the rolls
at today’s inflated prices while
another structure that may have
a greater resale value remains
at a pre-inflation assessment.
There is a statutory limita-
tion on the amount other gover-
nmental agencies pay the County
for assessing and collecting
services. This is substantially
less than the cost of operating
independent offices. As cost of
government rises and every
means is explored of stretching
tax dollars collected, combin-
ing of tax offices may look in-
creasingly inviting.

AUSTIN, Tex - Con
stitutional Convention
delegates are entering the
make-or-break last laps of
their work
Delegates last week
completed first-draft ap
proval of the proposed new
state charter after final
agreement on the delayed
judicial article
President Price Daniel
Jr said he hopes all articles
will be pushed through the
third reading stage by the
end of June.
After/ that, the
document will go to the
convention's “Submission
and Transition Committee,"
which will wrap up all
proposals in package form
and return them to
delegates.
At this stage, the
document and related
separate-submission items
(like right-to work) must be
approved by a two-thirds
majority (121 votes) to be
submitted to voters
The Submission and
Transition Committee will
serve as a kind of conference
committee, seeking com-
promises which can rally
approval of the necessary
majority of delegates.
After months of stormy
debate and close votes, the
convention began to receive
praise from many quarters
for its efforts to improve the
1876 constitution.
Kind words were still
being withheld by the
governor, however. Aides to
Gov Dolph Briscoe said he
would "find it very difficult"
to support the revision in its
present form, because
recommended changea in-
fringe on gubernatorial
powers in areas of veto and
calling special legislative
sessions
TRADING STAMP
LIMIT? - The State
Finance Commission may
ban use of trading stamps
and other inducements by
savings and loan associations
to help attract deposits.
The panel's savings and
loan section is scheduled to
rule on the long-standing
issue June 22.
Opponents argue the
regulation would curtail
advertising by savings and
loan associations, would not
benefit consumers and would
be meaningless to federally-
chartered institutions.
An earlier version of the
proposed regulation included
an exemption for
associations competing with
other financial institutions
which offer stamps and other
premiums.
Savings and loan
associations are divided on
the issue. Several consumer
groups have indicated they
will offer testimony in op-
position to the proposal.

COURTS SPEAK - A man
who entered a Fort Worth
hospital with a cut thumb,
fainted', fell of f the operating
table and suffered a brain
concussion and loss of two
teeth is entitled to $7,211
damages, the State Supreme
Court ruled.
The high court held a
Houston ironworker should
get workmen's compensation
benefits due to inhalation of
lead and zinc fumes.
The Court of Criminal
Appeals held that a
policeman who sees a driver
making a movement before
stopping is not justified in
searching the traffic of-
fender's car

jury pass on whether he was
justified in killing his wife's
lover though he did not catch
them in embrace.

Gen John Hill found the
State Democratic Con-
vention date is fixed at

professional students who
meet requirements
* A real estate broker

WHAT CPL HAD TO PAY
FOR FUEL
(costs per million BTU*)
Back in January, 1071, we wore
paying 20.234 per million IJTU* for
liK’l to generate your electricity.
Since late 1872, fuel costs have been
rising sharply due to the natural
gas shortage.
These increases are reflected in
your electric hills by means of a
fuel adjustment clause, which is a
standard part of electric, rates all
over the country. This adjustment
recovers only the increased cost of
fuel.
In April of this year, our rost of
fuel was 7I.()()4 per million BTIJ*,
which is relict ted in your current
hill
W e are buying fuel as econom-
ically as possible and using it as
efficiently as we can; however,
there* is 110 escaping the fact that
electric hills w ill he higher.
In these circumstance's, it is more
important than ever that you use
energy wisely.
