Judge Plans Bombshell on Voting Machines at County Bid Fight
County Judge Blair Reeves plans a dramatic move to resolve the dispute over voting devices in Bexar County. He will propose a mixed system with paper ballots in 78 precincts under 1,000 voters, lever machines in 156 precincts, and absentee ballots tabulated by computer. Reeves aims to end the clash over buying mechanical devices versus punch cards, saying the plan could force a court vote with only two or three judges approving one option.

Land Buying Limit Extended By City Housing Plan
The Model Cities Housing Center will extend land acquisitions to five miles from the Model Neighborhood Area starting this week. Andrews reported that all prior acquisitions were within one mile of the MNA and noted FHA appraisal bias that lowers values by about $2,000, reducing contractor profit. Richard Jones urged raising the four bedroom limit from $15,600 toward $17,800, warning a 30 day delay could worsen the situation. Joel said bids for 274 new housing units will be solicited next week and opened 30 days later, likely not within current federal limits.
