Jones later said he had heard the $45-an-hour amount used in discussions about hiring Talley as a consultant. Commission Chairman Jeanne Malchon also said she would oppose paying Talley for his service. "I see very little difference between knowledge that is gained on a job and knowledge that is in a file," she said.

Talley, reached at his Hillsborough County home, said, "If they're talking about a couple hour time to finish a few court cases I can do it for free. "If it's going to require some amount of my time, I can't do it for free. I'm out on my own ley for hit services as a consultant and expert witness in several upcoming lawsuits. Talley, who resigned Aug. 12 to become a private utilities consultant, headed the county water system for almost four years during a period of rapid expansion of wellfields and service areas.

Petersburg's Swanholm Nursing Hotel gave a 74-year-old man who developed a large bedsore while staying there. A county health official said the sore was "the size of a dinner plate." The former patient's wife and daughter called the county health department last week to complain both of the bedsores and of a chronic urinary infection. The department investigated and dismissed the latter complaint because the man had entered the home with an infection. However, the investigators could not show that the home had made "every attempt" to prevent the development of bedsores. George R.

McCall, director of the division of environmental health for the Pinellas County Health Department, wrote to the State Department of Health and Rehabilata-tive Services (HRS) that "in our judgment, the case was poorly managed." But after he talked to an HRS nurse who looked into the complaint Tuesday, McCall said, "It doesn't look like there's any clear-cut faults anywhere along the line. Perhaps my judgment was wrong." McCall said the man may have been undergoing such a severe, overall health breakdown that nothing more could have been done by the nursing home to treat his bedsores. The man also is a victim of Parkinson's disease. The assistant administrator of Swanholm, Jim Peterson, said he disagreed with the health department report and McCall's letter. He said the patient's wife had never complained to him about her husband's bedsores and declined to discuss the case further.

The home originally told a health department investigator that the patient in question was dead. The man has been transferred to St Anthony's Hospital, however, where he remained in serious condition Tuesday afternoon. Peterson said the mistake was simply a clerical error on a reporting chart. police log Slaying victim identified as 18-year-old Orlando woman A positive identification has been made of the young woman who died Saturday morning several hours after she was found shot and beaten at the foot of Weedon Island Bridge, a spokesman for the St Petersburg Police Department said Tuesday. The victim was Patricia L.

Jones, 18, 743 Quill St, Orlando. Police said the identification was made by a member of the woman's family. Police previously had identified the woman as 22-year-old Barbara Carter of Tampa. That identification had been made based on Tampa Police Department arrest records. However, police said Tueday that Miss Carter was a friend of Miss Jones and that Miss Jones used the name Barbara Carter when she was arrested in Tampa for prostitution on July 20.

The woman was discovered Saturday morning by Plant City fishermen Curtis McCullers and Leonard Hughes. Police have no suspects. Albert the Alligator hauled away despite protests By MICHAEL L. KING St. P.wtbufg Tim.

StlH Wfhw The residents of the Conrad Trailer Park, 9330 Park are incensed that the ganie warden and the Pinellas County Sheriffs Department have taken away Albert, their pet alligator. A sheriffs spokesman said the game warden went to get Albert after several persons called to complain about the gator. The warden called the sheriffs office for assistance. Two deputies were sent, and they subsequently called for assistance, and several other deputies and a wrecker were dispatched. After several hours of struggle over the angry protests of almost 50 onlookers the 12-foot alligator was finally loaded onto the back of a pickup truck and carried off to Busch Gardens in Tampa.

Fred Conrad, one of the owners of the trailer park, complained that Albert was on the property of the trailer park and that the sheriff had no reason to take him away. "He's a gentle guy," Conrad said. "And he's always been that way." Conrad said Albert had been at the trailer park since 1956. "He got over the fence and he walked not more than 10 feet," Conrad said. The game warden, he said, had been called by a lady next door at The Garden condominiums.

"And she was new there," he said, "or she wouldn't have called them. Albert's real popular with everybody around here. She said she was sorry afterwards." Conrad said he and his family will attempt to get Albert back. "We're gonna call the Fish and Wildlife Service in Lakeland tomorrow," he said. And if they don't succeed in getting Albert back? Well, Conrad says, they'll just have to go and visit him at Busch Gardens.
