Odessa sees drop in May construction permits
May construction permits in Odessa totalled 812 765 dollars, only 21 percent of May 1985 value, with no new commercial permits and one residential permit. Two large projects 7.2 million at the water plant and 2.73 million at the post office drive 9.93 million in May’s value. Richard Kelly of Crest Communities says the market will endure for three to five years as firms wait for demand to rebound.

Feeble turnout blamed on lack of candidates in Ector County
County party spokeswomen and county clerk attribute Saturday’s turnout to few local candidates. Among 58,718 registered voters 2.81 percent backed Democrats and 1.63 percent supported Republicans. Clerk Lucille Wolz called 4.4 percent turnout a record low despite all polling boxes open. She noted a 1980 runoff where only 41 Republicans voted in one precinct for constable. An accompanying note mentions a Democratic runoff loser alleging theft of nomination.

Fires rage after derailment near Salado Creek bridge
Evacuations affected up to 2000 residents as a Missouri Pacific freight train derailed near San Antonio. Five tank cars caught fire including butadiene and formaldehyde chemical cargo. Authorities let the blaze burn out to avoid releasing chemicals into the creek while containment dams were built and a 2500 foot radius remained off limits. The derailment occurred near the San Antonio International Airport Runway but did not interrupt flights.
