AND
Air pollution is the prime top-
ic of conversation in the Capi-
tol at the moment.
After taking a look at the air
pollution law just put on the
books this year, members o f
the new Texas Air Control board
say the Texas law permits 80
times as much air pollution as
do similar laws in some of the
other states.
Elbert Hooper of Austin, the
board’s attorney; told directors
that an exemption from control
supposed to apply only to cot-
ton gins (limiting air emissions
to a maximum of eight per cent,
of the process weight of any
agricultural product) may ex-
empt many industries.
He named the following as
possibles: lumber mills, rice
mills, grain elevators, cotton oil
mills, paper mills, food process-
ing plants, produce plants, ci-
trus processing plants, cotton
seed delinting plants, flour mills
soybean oil mills, com syrup
plants, slaughter houses, wool
scouring plants, nut processing
plants and, possibly, renderding
plants.
“We might as well fold up
and go home,” said board mem-
ber Henry LeBlanc of Port Ar-
thur. “Maybe it would be eas-
ier for you to tell us what’s
left that we can control,” he
told Hooper.
Some members observed that
cotton gins would have to pro-
duce 50,000 to 60,000 micrograms
of particulate matter to get to
eight per cent concentration —
and gins at best are not likely
to exceed 40,000 to 50,000 micro-
grams.
Rep. Don Cavness of Austin
and Sen. Criss Cole of Houston,
co-authors of the 1967 Clean Air
Act, say that the legislative in-
tent was to exclude only cotton
gins from State control. Howev-
er, it may be necessary to a-
mend the Act in the 1968 spec-
ial session to make this fact
clear to industries which might
want to be exempt.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
Any applicant for a water
well driller’s license in Texas
must have resided in the state
for 90 consecutive days prior
to his application. In other o-
pinions, Attorney Gen. Crawford
Martin has held:
Department of Corrections
may require return of a parole
violator from New Jersey to
serve the remainder of his sent-
ence. . ' . -, ..
New law didn’t change re-
quirements relating to specific
affidavits on certain sworn ac-
counts regarding claims, and
the state comptroller can con-
tinue to issue warrants for pro-
perly submitted claftns when
such claims are submitted un-
der affidavit.
Terms of two former aero-
nautics commissioners expired
last December 31. Terms of two'
more end next December 31.
One is deceased, and a sixth
will serve through 1970.
