Elgin man charged for stabbing
An 18-year-old El&in man was
charged with aggravated assault
with a deadly weapon May 15 af-
ter he allegedly stabbed a man
while In a fight at a residence on
the Upper Elgin River Road.
According to a report by Bastrop
County deputy sheriff Ernest
Ward, Edward Parish Sanchez of
P.O. Box 182, Old McDade Road,
was involved in an altercation with
Robert Schwartz at about 1 a.m.
last Sunday when Schwartz was
stabbed once in the right side.
Ward said the stabbing occurred
in the home of Schwartz's father,
Julius Schwartz, on the Upper El-
gin River Road near Hogeye Road.
Witnesses to the incident said an
argument that began inside the
house erupted into a fight between
Schwartz and Sanchez and
Schwartz was stabbed sometime
during the altercation.
Ward said Schwartz was taken
to Bastrop Regional Medical
Center where he was treated for the
stab wound, which turned out to be
about one-eighth of an inch deep.
Sanchez was placed under arrest
and held under $10,000 bond.
Wastewater business

which operates wastewater plants
for communities in its watershed,
said TRA sells bonds to finance
construction and contracts with lo-
cal entities for 100 percent of con-
struction and operating costs.
Taylor Ulman of the Highland
Lakes Association urged LCRA to
insure that those who are affected
by regional water and wastewater
systems are involved in planning
and that those who will pay the cost
have a vote on the issues.
Vance also stressed that region-
al systems need to be planned based
on recognized needs rather than
imposed "from the top down."
Gerry Pate, president of Pate En-
gineering Inc., warned that in the
past some agencies have tendedio
define regionalization as "a con-
crete plan without a lot of input
from the people who will be pay-
ing for it."
Get everybody who will be pay-
ing for it in agreement on a whole
plan. Pate advised.
Charges
Allen Beinke, executive director
of the Texas Water Commission,
told the LCRA committees that
large regional projects are better at
meeting high treatment standards
economically. Projects must be
economically sound and support-
ed by local communities to be suc-
cessful, he said.
Beinke also warned that acci-
dents or mistakes in operating larg-
er treatment plants can also have
more serious enviornmental conse-
quences.
He urged LCRA to become
more active in wastewater
treatment.
The two LCRA board commit-
tees have scheduled meetings later
this year to consider financing
issues.
LCRA staff members will use
comments from last week's session
to draft revisions to the river
authority's current water quality
policies for board consideration in
December.
Palacios said a .38 caliber Smith
and Wesson pistol was in the front
seat beside Jones and a search of
the vehicle produced a rolled up
$20 bill, a number of razor blades
and a piece of glass with a white
powdery substance on it.
He said the blue box also con-
tained less than 28 grams of a sub-
stance believed to be cocaine.
Palacios said Jones was placed

under arest and the powder was
sent to the DPS lab in Austin for
analysis. He said he was aided in
the arrest by the Bastrop County
Sheriffs Department, the Bastrop
Police Department and the Austin
Organized Crime Unit.
Jones was being held at Bastrop
County Jail Friday under a total of
$27,000 bond.

Discussions on water and
wastewater, law enforcement,
streets alleys and sanitation, the
city maintenance department and
the operations of city hall are
scheduled for Wednesday.

Other regional wastewater treat-
ment projects in Bastrop County
recommended last year by a joint
LCRA-City of Bastrop feasibility
study included a plan to link the
Tahitian Village-Pine Forest sub-
division to Bastrop's new treatment
plant and a separate project to pro-
vide wastewater treatment to the
Camp Swift area north of Bastrop.
Newsletter

tially disrupt normal school oper-
ations,'" said Merkord.
Deviney said he denied the group
use of the mail boxes because of
a recent opinion by the U.S.
Supreme Court.
"The bottom line is that anything
that is put in district—well we call
it the pony express, it's really the
way we distribute the mail to each
school from the central office—
anything that's put in there has to
be related to the business of the car-
rier, which means it has to be relat-
ed to the school," said Deviney.
"So we cannot use that mail
service for anything but for those
purposes so the question really be-
comes mute because we cannot
even allow them to do that because
there is a fine of $50 that can be
levied against the school district if
we did use that for anything other
than school business, and it's not
just a $50 fine it's a $50 fine per
piece that is allowed to be distribut-
ed," he said.
Deviney said the intent of the law
is to ensure that publications such
as the newsletter go through the
postal service.
"Not anybody outside of the
school business can use that for any
purpose except for school busi-
ness," said Deviney. He said be-
cause the mailboxes are part of the
mail service "we'd be breaking the
law if we did allow it."
