County Airport Rebuilding Costs Rise by 62000
Calhoun County main runway and taxiway rebuild estimates rose from 420000 to 482000 by Forrest and Cotton of Austin. FAA and TAC funds would cover 75 percent and 25 percent up to 50000, increasing county cost from 55000 to 70500. Aircraft have broken through the weakened 1964 runway on three occasions. County Judge Willis Jetton noted the project is stalled. The commission then discussed weatherproofing and rehab of the Jailhouse Museum, with federal revenue sharing and architect supervision likely required. Rhodes said top floor rehab and more space are badly needed.

President Ford plans a veto of a six month oil price control bill amid warnings that lifting controls will raise food and processing costs. Democratic leaders, led by Hugh Scott, say veto sustained could stall energy legislation until the 1976 elections, with a possible 45 day extension if Congress can agree to a decontrolled 39 month plan.
