Time urged for tracing stolen items
City Council hearing on proposed amendments to the second hand goods dealers ordinance would mostly keep current effects while giving police more time to trace thieves. Key changes: confiscate items with defaced or removed identifying marks, hold purchased goods seven days or 30 days if IDs are obscured, and require bills of sale to be filled the day of sale.

Rainbow Adobe brings ancient building method to Alpine
Three Alpine builders Steve Belardo Tom Connor and Scott Williams form Rainbow Adobe to craft modern adobe homes in Alpine Texas. They mix sand gravel dirt and water under sun for bricks with passive solar heating and ceiling fans. They built their first home in 1979 and have completed three with two more planned. They sell adobe bricks locally and aim to grow the business by reinvesting earnings. Adobe bricks use a stabilizer to resist water while construction expands with more inquiries from Alpine residents seeking durable homes.

County workers may see pension deductions
County employees could again have Social Security tax deductions on payroll by Jan 1 1984. Auditor Max Wilson said changes in retirement laws make deductions possible and may reduce take home pay despite proposed raises. The plan calls for raises and a 3 to 5 percent cost of living increase if deductions are approved, with the pay system shifts expected to influence 475 workers.
