Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Restaurant on Indus-
trial Boulevard in Euless, closed recently because it
was deemed "unprofitable," won't be included in a
merger agreement with ShowBiz Pizza Place Inc.

George Hedrick, manager for public information, said that
Texas Electric Service Company's policy is not to disconnect

ever, be said, the company has gone back to its regular collec-
tion policy because of recent mild weather. That policy allows
customers behind on bills to set up a payment plan,he said.
Tex as Power and Light urged its customers to hedge against
future extreme weather by enrolling in its average billing plan.
"Average billing makes certain that you will pay about the
same amount each month— averaging your electricity bill for
r I the past 12 months," said Joe Henning, manager of TP&L's
district office in Euless. "You will still pay for the electricity
you use, but your bills will be more predictable."
Hennig said higher bills are a certainty because of the re-
cord demand during tAe recent cold spell,which spanned more
than 12 days of sub-freezing temperatures. TP&L's peak load
for the emergency period was 5,836 megawatts — almost 27
percent higher than the previous winter peak demand reached
on Feb. 3, 1982.

Naturilly, Wilson would like toN y

"A very simple reason is good po-
lice work,"he says,then chuckles.Of
course, the real reason isn't so
simple.
Wilson can't say why the number
of actual burglaries dropped from .
442 in 1982 to 388 last year.
One factor may be the depart-
ment's clearance rate, which mea- ,
sures the percentage of crimes
solved.
"Clearances are either by arrest e
or by exception of arrest," he ex-
plains. "We have to know who the
person is and we could have arrested ,
him."
Sometimes Euless doesn't arrest
the suspect because the victim s
doesn't want to press charges,or an-
other city in the area may want to r
take him in. ,
Euless' clearance rate for bur-
glary in 1983 was 29 percent. Wilson
said the Texas burglary clearance .
y w
rate in 1982 was 17 percent, and the - g
national rate for all crimes is about � �
22 percent. � �Y 'R�< ;

It's the time of year when police departments have to make
do with some less-than-perfect police cars as they wait for new
cars,on order,to arrive from the factory.
City officials say it is a problem that happens virtually ev-
ery year, but there's realistically nothing they can do about it.
` "We can't order any earlier than we did this year," said
John Whitney,purchasing director for North Richland Hills.
North Richland Hills placed its order for new police cars on
Oct. 11 and expects to receive its new vehicles at the end of
March. That's 120 working days from order to delivery, stan-
dard in most city contracts with manufacturers.
The cities can't order before October, said Whitney, be-
cause city councils are still hammering out their budgets until
the fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
"You don't know what tax funds will be available,you don't
know how many cars are going to be authorized by the city
council and you've got to have a public hearing on your bud-
get,"he said."You've got to have all that before you can order.
And then all these cii iee are putting their order in at the same
time."
