Gerri Turner is on special assignment tonight. Oprah Winfrey joins us in Jerry's absence. Right now, the investigation into last week's Inner Harbor tragedy. The drowning of a retarded teenager still strapped in her wheelchair goes on. Where to place the blame is going to be a very touchy proposition. But Dan Scott reports Mayor Schaefer seems sure of one thing. Guardrails would not have helped last Friday's tragic Inner Harbor, drowning of a 13 year old mentally retarded girl confined to a wheelchair, is still very much on people's minds today, especially since several questions including exactly who's to blame, have yet to be answered. Below Mark Ruby Arundel County home at which the girl was a resident and on whose outing she was on Friday, had said over the weekend they were going to make some sort of public statement about the case today. But when we arrived this morning, we were stopped here at the driveway and told that enough had been said about the case, most of it distorted, and the home had decided just to keep quiet and pick up the pieces. What that means is hard to figure out. But we do know the staff here met this weekend to talk about their role in the tragedy. Mayor Schaefer, who was out of town last Friday, also seemed reluctant to talk about the incident this morning. But at the zoo for something else, he finally did respond to claims fences and guardrails should be and should have been up along the promenade. We have found and we have investigated time after time on putting high fences, guardrails and all the rest around. It will not do what people think it will do. They've made extensive studies in Europe.

And when he tells me, you can't do this and you can't do that, then I'm going to tell him what I would like for him to do. And if he turns me down, I'm going to raise up all bloody hell, because I'm going to go to City Hall in nothing and it's not going to interfere with his beauty of the harbor. And I think I got the solution. The city councilman will not say exactly what his idea is. Also today, a member of the park board is calling on that body to further investigate ways to improve safety down here. But the mayor has already promised that he has promised a full and complete investigation of this tragedy. Because, of course, no one wants what happened here last Friday to be repeated.

Republican gubernatorial challenger Robert Pascrell accuses the Hughes administration of not doing enough to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, using the Annapolis City dock as a backdrop. And Toronto County executive and candidate for governor, Robert Pascoe and Republican Senator Charles Mathias toured the Chesapeake Bay area today. They said the Bay industry, which amounts to $700 million a year, is in bad shape and needs more direction from the state. What we need is is a strong state attitude towards the problems of the bay, a recognition that there are problems in the bay, number one, and then a strong state program which will draw in not just the Maryland facilities but draw in the neighboring state. Both Pasco and Mathias say Virginia, Delaware and especially Pennsylvania help clean up the Chesapeake Bay since all three states utilize it. Pascoe blamed the current state of the bay on the lack of attention he claims a huge administration has given the bay. The information is there. It's been put together by the EPA. It was there before. Now the effort is going to have to be made if we're going to save the bay and all that, the people who have anything to do with it. The only specific recommendation of past bills that he would implement would be to make Pennsylvania more aware of its responsibility to the Chesapeake, since it has so many sewage treatment plants on the Susquehanna River, which dumps into the bay and the nutrients which are found to human sewage as the reason oyster and crab harvest are down.

And Exxon credit card holders may want to think twice about charging their next purchase. Frank Luber tells us why. Next on Eyewitness News. Tonight. It appears that previous commitments on declining natural gas sales have combined for the one two punch to hike up BG and gas prices for its customers. Columbia Gas Transmission Corp, the sole supplier over BG, ENI, says that it's cutting production from its Appalachian wells, though gas is cheaper there. Columbia says it is committed to buying gas from other, more expensive regions. That and lower than expected sales will mean higher prices for consumers. Consumers are paying lower prices for gasoline, according to oil industry analyst Dan Lundberg. Lundberg says the average price for all four grades of gas dropped a half penny in the last two weeks to just over one dollars $0.28 a gallon. Those prices are down a penny from July figures and a nickel less than a year ago. It's not a gas war that is causing prices to go down a bit, but some of those same sales tactics can be seen right now in some area stations.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450#t=561.48,795.85"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450/transcript/70812/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Lisa Campo says at discounts for customers who pay for their gas with cash is a hit with some but a blow to others.

Frank Luber talked today to some dealers and some customers to get their reaction to this latest sales move. Exxon gasoline stations around the Baltimore area and elsewhere have started a new sales blitz that rewards the cash paying customer and passes the cost of credit on to the credit user. Exxon has started a discount for cash campaign, which gives cash paying customers four cent discount on each gallon of gas purchased. The total price on the pump is 1240. The discount is $0.40. So give this gentleman. You pay only $12, you got $0.40 off or your cash. About that. That's nice. That's nice. It's about time you get something back at Exxon's Discount for Cash campaign apparently was triggered by Arco and Texaco's decision to discontinue the use of their own credit cards. That decision, of course, allows for both companies to lower their gasoline prices. Arco has moved in in the whole United States from seventh position to sixth position in sales of gas. So it's helped them it's proven itself that people will are buying cash. They're not they're not buying the credit card prices. They are buying from the gas stations that have the best cash price.

Mayor Schaefer has also thrown in his support for the project, with her asking for $300,000 to build this holding area. We hope to have elephants in that exhibit a year from this fall. So we're talking a little over one year to complete the exhibit and we feel it can be done in that span. Now, you've mentioned the cost of $300,000.

This poll is meant to state there's a sign mean, hey, follow this road to buy your new pair of red ball jets. I hardly think so. Well, what does it mean? We need to find out. That's why we came here to the Calvert Street headquarters of the Department of Transit and Traffic. Yes. You're catching bad staff wants to know. We came here to find out why.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450#t=3354.23,3447.59"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450/transcript/70812/annotation/29","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Meet Julius Koch. He's the assistant commissioner for the Special Services Bureau at Transit and Traffic. He says the idea actually came about a while back. Well, actually, what the signs are there, what we refer to them in house here need to know trailblazer type signs, which we put up for special events. And it only requires those people participating in the event to know the purpose and its significance behind the signing. So it doesn't require the general motoring public to take any special action when they see such a sign post. It sounds simple. That is, until you add in that these days not only a walkathon is held, but pride of thorns and all sorts of thorns. If more than one events happening, the city puts up blue and gold dots to avoid route confusion. Of course, after the event the signs come down. But sometimes it takes a while, takes time to get crews around to get them down. Your catching van staff wanted to know and we found out. Now we know what these signs are for. And I think once and for all, we put an end to that vicious rumor. These signs were put out by the city to make visiting Japanese businessmen feel welcome. Houston Marty Bass, Channel 13 Eyewitness News. I think I missed it. What is the event for the signs this time? I don't know. They're just there. They're just there. Robert, That's the point. I don't know. Robert doesn't know. We'll find out. We'll put the catch. They're just there. They're just there. Isn't that the point? They're just there. No, that's something. That's our report to the moment. ABC's World News Tonight is next. I'm Oprah Winfrey. I'm Al Sanders for Jerry Turner, who, by the way, returns to Eyewitness News tomorrow night at 6:00 with the latest news developments right after Monday night's baseball.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450#t=3448.67,3548.2"}]},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450/transcript/70812","type":"AnnotationPage","label":{"en":["English [Transcript]"]},"items":[{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/136056/file/252450/transcript/70812/annotation/30","type":"Annotation","motivation":"subtitling","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/070/812/original/trint_WJZ-EYE-032-007_FFV1_transcript.vtt?1726773017","format":"text/vtt","language":"en"},"target":"https://d9jk7wjtjpu5g.cloudfront.net/file_transcripts/associated_files/000/070/812/original/trint_WJZ-EYE-032-007_FFV1_transcript.vtt?1726773017"}]}]}]}
