However, administration of the
program and other health care
expenses known as Ineligible expen-
ses account for approximately an
additional 1/3 cent tax. Judge Grebe
continued his explanation on tax
matters saying, “that doubtful fund-
ing from Revenue Sharing sources

The West End 4-H Clubs met

a problem source for folks downstream. You would think that
Austin knew better. After all, it is a city where groups of people
can loudly protest the use of nuclear power-generated energy and
imagine its consequences and talk of an atom-free world where
everything is nice and utopian. Oddly enough, radiation is
probably the safest thing that would kill the bacteria they’re
flushing down the Colorado. But, that’s the way it usually is.
Anyway, we hope the LCRA keeps up with the testing and public
announcements (and keeps the testing accurate). For record, the
water quality index for early this week had a poor reading all the
way from Austin to Wharton “results of an increase in nutrient
levels, turbidity and bacterial counts".

information process of announcing a water quality index in the
Colorado River two times a week. We have recently received
those for a Friday and Tuesday date. Basically the water quality
index has good readings in the lakes above Austin, poor readings
around Austin and fair to poor readings downstream from Austin.
There is a sample site at Austin, apparently where the Pleasant
Valley Road and the river intersect that has continually had a
poor reading with high bacterial counts. A standard warning in
the announcement says that “the bacterial levels are elevated to
such an extent to be considered unsafe for swimming.” The
publicizing of the high bacteria counts in the Colorado River in
and below Austin point out that no one has watched Austin in the
past, but that folks are looking now. It was not an easy task to get
something going on the “green Colorado”, but groups of citizens
and public officials downstream from Austin got the attention of
the LCRA and it seems as if the LCRA now is committed doing
something, if nothing more than pointing out publicly that Austin,
