we have ever taken to State! These
students worked many long, hard
hours, and it paid big dividends this
past weekend." He continued with,

PUBLIC NOTICE
AVISO PUBLICO
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company
(Southwestern Bell) tiled an application with the Public
Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) to charge an
additional 26 cents per month per line to recover costs
for providing Expanded Local Calling service (ELC)
to certain Texas Customers.
The 26 cents per month surcharge would
not be billed to customers who receive ELC. However,
customers who receive ELC and pay less than the
maximum $3.50 a month residential ELC charge or less
than the maximum $7 business ELC charge will have to
pay the additional 26 cents per month charge.
Expanded Local Calling was created in 1993 by Texas
legislation that requires telephone companies to provide
toll-free calling between small towns that share
a community of interest such as a school or hospital
district. The legislation allows telephone companies to
recover costs not paid through customer charges by
applying a surcharge to all other customers in the state
who do not receive the ELC service or who do not pay
the maximum ELC rate. The maximum monthly ELC rate
allowed under state law is $3.50 per line for residential
customers and $7 per line for business customers.
Southwestern Bell estimates that the 26
cents per month per line charge will recover the
$27 million annual cost of providing ELC service that
is not recovered from ELC rates.
If approved by the PUC, the monthly statewide
surcharge of 26 cents per line per month will begin
with the April, 1998 billing cycles, with an agreement
to refund all or part of the charge if the PUC does
not approve it.
For questions about the reasons for the charge,
please call the Southwestern Bell Business Office
listed in your directory.
The PUC assigned Docket Number 18513 to
this proceeding. The deadline for intervention in this
matter is March 31, 1998. Persons who wish to
intervene or comment in these proceedings should
notify the PUC by March 31, 1998. All requests to
intervene should be mailed to the Public Utility
Commission of Texas, P.O. Box 13326, Austin,
TX, 78711-3326. For information intervening, please
call the PUC at 1-888-782-8477 or at 512-936-7120.
Southwestern Bell Telephone Company (Southwestern
Bell) presentb una solicitud ante la Comisibn de
Servicios Publicos de Texas (PUC) para cobrar
26 centavos mbs al mes por linea para recuperar los costos
por el servicio de Llamadas Locales Ampliadas (ELC)
a ciertos clientes en Texas.
El cargo de 26 centavos al mes no se cobrarb
a los clientes que reciben ELC. Sin embargo, los clientes
que reciben ELC y pagan menos del mbximo de $3.50
al mes por el servicio ELC residencial o rrtenos del mbximo
de $7 por el servicio ELC comercial, tendrbn que pagar
26 centavos adicionales a su pago mensual.
El servicio de Llamadas Locales Ampliadas (ELC)
fue establecido en 1993 por la Jegislacibn del estado
de Texas y requiere que las companfas prestadoras de
servicios telefbnicos ofrezcan llamadas de larga distancia
gratuitas entre pequenas poblaciones que comparten
un interbs comun tales como disfritos escolares
y de hospitales. Esta ley permite que las compahias
telefbnicas recuperen los costos no pagados mediante
cargos a clientes, a travbs de un cargo a todos los demas
clientes en ek estado que no reciben el servicio ELC
o que no pagan la tarifa mbxima del servicio ELC. La
tarifa mbxima mensual permitida por la ley estatal
es $3.50 por tinea para clientes con servicio residencial
y $7 por linea para clientes con servicio comercial.
Southwestern Bell calcula que los 26 centavos
al mes por Ifnea cubrirbn los $27 millones del costo
anual del servicio ELC que no estb cubierto por las
tarifas de ELC.
Si la PUC autoriza el cargo mensual estatal
de 26 centavos al mes por linea bste comenzarb
a partir de los ciclos de facturacibn de abril 1998,
con el acuerdo de reembolsar todo o parte del cargo
si la PUC no lo autoriza.
Para preguntas relacionadas con este cargo, por
favor Name a la Oficina Local de Southwestern Bell listada
en su directorio telefbnico
La PUC asignb el numero de registro de 18513
a este procedimiento. El plazo de intervencibn sobre este
asunto terminarb el 31 de marzo de 1998. Las personas
que deseen intervenir o hacer comentarios sobre
este procedimiento deberbn notificar a la PUC antes del

JUDAS ISCARIOT, THE BETR-AVER OF JESUS, WAS
THE ONLY MAN AMONG THE ORIGINAL TWELVE DISCIPLES WHO DID
NOT HAIL FGOM GALILEE. THAT HE WAS STRONGLY DISLIKED FROM THE
OUTSET BY THE OTHERS IS APPARENT FROM THE VERY WORDS OF JOHN
(JOHNI2;6). JUDAS WAS THE TREASURER OF THE GROUP-H0LDIN6 THE
BAG" WAS THE EXPRESSION THEY USED —DENOTING THAT tC RECEIVED
ALL GIFTS AND MONEY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE PUBLIC, PAID FOR ANYTHING
THE GROUP MIGHT NEED (POOR CLOTHES,ETC), AND DISPENSED MONEY TO
THE POOR, ALL IN JESUS' NAME BUT JOHN SPOKE FOR ALL OF THEM
WHEN HE SAID JUDAS WAS A THIEF WHO DIDNT CARE FORTHE POOR
AT All, but carried the bag out of his love fop the money that
WAS IN IT AND THE SENSE OF POWER AND IMPORTANCE IT GAVE HIM !
WHY HE BETRAYFD JESUS HAS ALWAYS BEEN A
CONJECTURE OPEN TO LENGTHY DISCUSSION. SOME
HAVE SAID IT WAS PURELY HIS GREED FORTHE 1HIPTV
PIECES OF SILVER, OTHERS MAINTAIN IT WAS OUT OF
ANGER AT THE REBUKE HE RECEIVED FROM JESUS...
(JOHN I2H-8I), ANOTHER THEORY IS THAT JUDAS,
ALWAYS ANXIOUS AS TREASURER TD GET MORE AW0NEX
SAW AN EASY CHANCE TO ENLARGE THE TREASURY WITH
NO REAL DANGER TO JESUS -FOR, HE REASONED THAT
THE SON OF GOD COULD COMMAND LEGIONS OF ANGELS
TO RESCUE HIM WHENEVER HE WISHED/ BE THAT AS
IT MAY, ONCE THE DEED WAS DONE AND THE
COLD LIGHT OF REASON REVEALED TO JUDAS THE
ENORMITY OF HIS CRIME, HE REPENTED IN A
FRENZY OF DISPAIR, HURLED THE BLOOD MONEY
BACK AT THE PRIESTS AND PUSHED OUT AND
HANGED HIMSELF.'
