On Monday
Only one call was receiv-
ed by the Baytown Fire
Department Monday.
A 1969 Plymouth belong-

estimated at $300. The
cause of the fire was believ-
ed to be a loose fuel line.

In the state appropria

House by Speaker Billy
Clayton, it is being propos

give the largest number of
exemptions.

mula for reimbursement
will be calculated by
multiplying the market
