City Tax Collections
Up Slightly Over 74
City tax collections by the
Jan. 31 deadline ran slightly
ahead of the previous year’s
figure, despite the current
economic recessions, the city’
reported this week..
As of Jan. 31, a total of
$27,978 had been collected,
compared to $26,012 a year
ago.
Those who did not pay by the
Jan. 31 deadline now face a 10
per cent penalty.
Although the collections are
running slightly ahead of a
year ago, officials said, it will
be necessary to bring in-
another $5,0o0 to meet the
general fund budget totaling
$33,000 from property taxes.
Last year, the city had budget-
ed only $30,000 from this
“What’s the status of TP&L’s
nuclear power plant?”
A. Construction of the Comanche Peak Steam .
Electric Station was begun recently at.a site about five
miles north of Glen Rose in Somervell -County. -
Q. “How much land area will be involved?”
A. Approximately 8,500 acres. This will include a • -
3,200-acre lake adjoining the plant whiph will provide
cooling water for the plant.
Q- “When will TP&L customers start .getting electric
power from the plant?” ' "
A. The first of two t,150,000-kilowaft units js .
scheduled to go into operation in i 980 and the second’
in 1982.
Q. “Will some other companies be getting power’
from the plant?”
A. Yes. The plant will be jointly owned and utilized
by Texas Power & Light, Dallas Power & Light and
Texas Electric Service.
. Q. “Why is a nuclear plant necessary?”
A. Rjsing costs and a shortage of future supplies of -
natural gas and oil compel use of more economical
and readily available fuels for generating plants. Within
the next five years, TP&L will reduce its dependency
on gas and oil with plants designed and-constructed
to burn lignite-coal. While it. is anticipated that lignite
will continue to be an important fuel well beyond the
year 2000, the longrrange solution to fuebproblems-
appears to lie in nuclear.generating plants.
Q. “How safe will the plant be?”
A. The planning, construction and operation of the
Comanche Peak plant is subject to close' examination '
and rigid regulation by the Atomic Energy Cornmission •
and other federal and state agencies. Devices and
procedures in the plant will guard against every
conceivable possibility which might endanger plant
employees or the general public. Today, there are
more than 50 nuclear generating units in the United
States and there has never been a nuclear-related
injury to a commercial nuclear power plant worker or
member of the public.

Fire Chief
Asks Care
With Calls
Howe Volunteer Fire Depart-
ment Chief Joe King urged
this week that the new fire
department number be used
for that purpose only—“and if
you dial it by accident, please
tell the city you have a wrong
number before hanging up.’’
King said there have been a
number of calls in the past
couple of weeks by persons
- who have hung up when the
phone was answered/“I may-
be pranksters,” he said, “but
it causes us problems.”
The new alarm system causes
the phones to ring in the
homes of 10 firemen plus
Mack’s Cash Grocery and City
Hall. Shortly, it will be wired
to the homes of 15 firemen.
