Bunton ruled Monday that, in
order to protect endangered fish,
spring flow at Comal and San
Marcos must be maintained at all
costs. Under the niling, human use
of the Edwards Aquifer could not
exceed levels that would threaten
spring flow at those two points.

An electrical short caused a small fire in the bathroom of one of the Athol Apartments on
Wednesday, February 3. It did not take the Pearsall VFD long to put out the blaze.
True, a cotton, grain and cattle
producer said the implications of
the niling arc shocking. "We have
a situation where a fish has more
rights than a city of I 5 million
people, or an industry that provides
abundant food and liver for mil-
lions," Tnicsaid.
The ruling is viewed as a victory
for the Sierra Club in their suit
against the U.S. fish and Wildlife
The named defendant interve-
nor, Danny McFadin, is a Uvalde
County Farmer and president of his
county Farm Bureau.

True said is very likely the de-
fendants in the case will pursue an
appeal.
If the ruling is upheld on appeal,
it would greatly extend the scope of
the Federal Endangered Species Act
far beyond the current interpreta-
tion of the law.
"The Endangered Species Act is
tough to live with now, I can only
imagine what's is store for us in the
future," True said.
