City Warns On Lumber Remodeling In City Buildings
City Building Inspector Carl Wideman warned owners of downtown cafes, liquor stores, amusement arcades and other shops using lumber for remodeling to redo with fireproof materials or face charges in Corporation court.

Housing Costs Discussed in San Antonio Projects Visit
Rev. GC Tranchese visited Mayor Mauermann to discuss payroll cuts and reductions in maintenance and material costs for San Antonio housing projects. He noted salaries rose up to 100 percent in some cases and maintenance costs jumped from $327,000 in 1988 to $35,000 today, saying rent hikes last January moved projects away from their original plan and urged political leaders to allow an efficient administration.
