Oil officials tell students on energy supply and costs
A panel of industry figures led a discussion at Alamo Heights High School detailing fuel shortages, energy strategies, and the rising costs of drilling rigs. John E. Newman warned of a 25 percent fuel shortfall by July amid high cooling demand and proposed coal as an alternative, noting a coal generator could cost 68 million with first operation in 1978.

Fire and Police Pension Fund Faces $70 Million Gap
City Finance Director Carl White warned at a Monday meeting that the Fire and Police Pension Fund’s actuarial deficit could exceed 70 million dollars, up from 41.5 million as of October 1972. Trustees and officials called for an actuarial study and a review of the fund’s organization to reduce the shortfall, with city contributions exceeding 2 million yearly. The fund, established in 1941, has about 18 million in assets and commitments totaling around 70 million to retired fighters and officers. The crisis centers on underfunding and inadequate initial setup.
