Yeah, it ain't that high, is it?
Oh, well, yeah.
There's other things that ain't got on it, either.
Uh-huh.
These problems get delivered.
No.
I can't figure out all this.
I thought I'd just bring it up here.
Let's see.
They've been having trouble all over.
They let you all decide.
I ain't arguing.
I got ten things.
I've got ten of these guys.
I have two. I've got two and I need three dollars for one.
I didn't sell that little one.
That's what I've got a little one. I've got a father of three.
It's in good shape, but it's too little for me.
It's too little for me.
yeah judge on general improvement we've got we've got 12625 on the 71 cents
what's the deal well ain't that money set aside for that building over yonder
yeah that's right forget about that we don't have any money we're gonna have to put some in there
to go working on that uh i have with us this morning mr jim richardson from bradwell office
system mr richardson is now a just recently moved to caldwell county mexico county is home
and he has uh several uh uh concerns that he wants to demonstrate this morning i think that
the policy that he has can save us lots of money this is just a short demonstration it's a
copier comparable to ibm or xerox the same dry process it's not a liquid uses plain paper
and copies on letterheads all colors of paper and makes very good copies it's
It's, uh, very competitive as far as price, and, uh...
Well, I don't have the legal size in there, but...
Better size.
Is that a permanent record?
I don't know.
What?
actually it was a permanent record
no it don't say anything
is there any kind of
we have to lay those big books
upside down on top
where would they lay
there's something on the other side
that I can't see
it comes with a wire guide that fits right in here in the table
and you just lay your books
but that book's not a third as big as the books we have to use
that's not even big
Well, I don't have a wire guide on here that goes in these two holes just like this, and you just have to look on there.
We have books that are this long and this wide.
Well, it means that a copy is legal size, ain't it?
Well, yeah, those big ones, we'd have to make them in two sections.
Well, that's what, this is probably legal size.
Well, yeah, that part, but I'm talking about where the rest of the book would rest while we...
Well, he's got a bill that mounts on that.
Yeah, but it doesn't sit just like this.
No, I don't think that is right.
Well, you better look at that bill and get you a new copy of it.
Well, I'm happy with what we've got.
And don't think that'll work, because we're actually going to look sideways
and do half a page at a time.
No way.
I didn't have it just to send it just exactly right, but that'll give you an idea.
This is a copy on blue paper.
It's a good man's staff.
It's one of those big books.
I'll show you.
Well, I think he does this.
On the big book.
It worked fine.
It was paper.
I think it worked for what we did.
This is just to show you that it will copy on legal.
Yellow paper.
You don't have to.
That's when you want to copy a legal size without putting the legal cassette in there.
What's that?
It comes with two cassettes.
Two cassettes.
When you want to copy a legal size without putting the legal cassette in there, it comes with two cassettes.
This is the regular letter size cassette, and it comes with a legal size also.
Just work around that and stick that in there.
If you were going to run a lot of legal size, you would want to put your legal cassette in there,
in there but if you just wanted to run one or two then you just put them back here
and you don't have to change the cassette
well it's on 110 current price no special current
seven dollars what i want to do the ten dollar bill it does a pretty good job
That looks like a green nut.
Well, it's better than a green paper that'll come out pretty good, isn't it?
This is just to show you that it smells better than it is.
Yeah.
Come on, you have to see that.
The corn's spreading all this crap up there.
Well, don't worry about it.
That's what you look like, Bob.
Well, I'll give you a little bit.
I don't know, I'm afraid of it.
I'm afraid of it, yeah.
How thick of paper will that be when you run through that?
Three thicknesses of standard paper.
We're not supposed to be running stuff off down here.
That's what's running fast.
like poster poster board I tried one of my brochures the other day which is three
thicknesses of real thick paper and it did copy on it but it didn't fuse you
could rub it off but up to three thicknesses of normal paper are down to
It does copy on transparencies also, which if you do a lot of overhead projection, that
will be a little bit faster.
What do you do, do you buy these machines?
You can buy them or rent them with the option to purchase them at the end of your rent period.
There you go.
What is the red light on?
I don't have enough.
I don't have enough stuff.
I don't have enough for government and education, which y'all could use.
It makes the doctor quite expensive, by the way.
And at the end of your 48-month period, you can purchase the machine for 9% of the original price.
The company has marched off 9.11% off of the base price for government and education.
Your service warrants are $275 a year.
Yes, sir.
That covers all parts, labor, service costs, and supplies except paper.
And your 24 months would be $661, right?
Well, that's per month if you wanted to buy the machine in a 24-month period of service.
Well, every two years, we'd give one to each office, and they'd have their own to each office.
Oh, no.
How much is the rent per month?
On the 275.
No, on the 48-month rental, it is $109.95.
Go 275 a month, and every 12 months, then you just give that to your office and put an ad in there, see?
Oh.
Always be, you know, like that.
The one we've got is 240, and my office makes copies of that more than three times that.
That's what I was talking about, see?
He can really make money if you have it.
You're leasing it for 240 a month, plus that much.
Well, unless we make an awful lot of copies and not pay.
Well, the trouble of it is, with the one we've got now, I don't have a complete way to make copies, but everybody in Lockhart's using it.
well they'd be using this one before you save the monies on the paper
well uh we're doing legal work and i don't think those books can be used on there i don't think you
need to change
now if you want to get one of those and put upstairs for somebody to use or something but
i want that one down there does it copy books well by turning them in christian but i don't
which i don't think we could do on there and we don't we can put in a ream of layer size and a
ream of letter illegal size and it's there you don't have to be going and putting in another thing
it's just a better machine for our purpose
well of course we're going to move the tax office over there this is where you might get them one
of these because they don't do the kind of copying that ms ether's now doing well if you're going to
do that then i suggest you lock that copier up down there well i'd like to have it locked up in
my office when i get moved but because everybody like what's using that thing and it's not right
they all claim somebody told them they put it i don't know who told them i ain't never heard
about it and the welfare department and the different ones they seem to think the county
Well, I wouldn't let them use it if it was mine, if I was with them.
Because we're not responsible for Plum Creek.
They've got their own taxing agency, they've got their own money.
They ain't no part of the county.
We told them, I didn't tell them.
And the welfare is the federal government and the state government.
They ain't no part of the county.
I didn't tell any of them.
We also have a full line of Rockwell calculators, everybody's heard of Rockwell, brand name,
all the way from the big programmables down to and including the very small handheld operator.
the four machines that I brought today.
Now see, you need how much that maintainer weighs,
you can find how much it costs a pound.
But I've got to weigh that maintainer before I can move it.
Which, so this trash on the little thing is
$149.95.
Yeah, $28,000.
That's pretty heavy, that's crazy.
It brings it down to 113.
If they got anybody in the service now, that's the next thing.
If they got anybody in those other services, that's the next thing.
That's the reason I'm trying to get away with planes.
Planes turn and slip on the part of the leg.
Put a head on the tape.
All of them is.
And the next one is the little 310, which is also just a display machine,
which would be comparable to the old rotary calculator where you don't need a tape.
You're just figuring and you don't need a tape.
It lists for $89.95 and y'all's cost is $60.86.
It's a very good little unit.
Oh, it has about eight-digit capacity, which is most of the time enough for just about anybody.
The next one is the 242 PD, which has the printer, display.
You can also turn off your printer and just use your display.
It has a separate memory, square root, percent key, grand total, item count, and date key.
This one sells for $249.95, and with your discount, it's $197.76.
So you can see that Rockwell really wants to sell these to government and education people.
Next one is the 232, which is basically the same unit, except it doesn't have the display.
It has the memory percent, square root, out of front, grand total, constant.
It lists for $229 and sells to the offer of $171.96.
These are our best selling units and they all carry a full one year warranty, parts
and labor included.
The warranty specifies that if you should have a problem, the machine will be picked
up and a loaner left with no charge while your machine is in the shop being repaired
and of course there's no transportation fees or
anything involved as long as it's under warranty period which is one full year
the home rights is fine there's any questions you all have
We're going to need to talk about that, but it's going to be some time before we consider the machines for that building, because we don't have the building ready.
I'd be glad to come back and have that wire guide for the book copier and try that on there for you.
Well, I'm sure that works all right. Just demonstration-wise, I think you should be demonstrating that.
Thank you.
You want to move your machine up so you won't have to wait on it?
No, I'm not mean to hurry it up.
It says convenient for copying oversized books, magazines, maps, and the like.
We have the plans ready on this building over here but we don't have an
architect.
You couldn't get that wrong boss?
That boss goes to school in his senior year and he just don't have the time.
He finally conceded the other day and said he just couldn't do the job and I talked to
Ben himself, Ben said that he just couldn't handle it.
We're going to have to, if we want to hire an architect or somebody to do it,
he just couldn't handle it.
We have it drawn up pretty well like we want it to size,
but we don't have the specifications on the bottom and the top and so forth and so on like that.
But one of the main problems that we're running into right now
is the fact that the Historical Society has asked us not to change the outside of
this building. Which building? Over here. Well, tell them that belongs to the county, it don't belong to the Historical Society.
That's a historical building? That's a historical, it's supposed to be one of the first built on the courthouse. It's been remodeled, I mean on Courthouse Square.
it's been remodeled
but the only thing
is that they're asking is that they have
asked the government for a grant
around the square
to be used to maintain the historical
buildings
and as soon as that becomes available
they said we're doing a new one
we can do it now
but we'll kind of tear up their grant
if they turn it in
that's alright they ain't going to make the whole town fire
were you going to change that?
we're going to have to move the door because of the fact that the elevator is going in in that area
but seems to me like that an architect could take the plans that we have and it wouldn't
charge us full amount because after all we worked out everything on his location and
And to size, all you have to do is specify the type of lumber and the lights and the air conditioner space and so forth and so on like that.
And incidentally, I've been talking with Richard, and I worked out a temporary deal with him.
He owns the land right in behind on the back there to put the outside part of the air conditioner there.
Now, the welfare is going to put their air conditioner on top of this.
but I believe it would be much better to put it on the ground on the outside right there
and I think that worked out a deal that's dissatisfactory to all of the Richard Fielder owners
and he has incidentally has agreed to go pay one-third of the elevator
How about the maintenance on it?
Yeah, well, the state, Mr. Allen from the state says that you're foolish to have maintenance on an elevator that they're running over something like 500.
And what they do, they just have them make a twice-a-year maintenance call on these elevators.
He says you don't need it other than that.
You better buy one of them to hold this coat.
We sure been needing it here in this courthouse.
But he says that the maintenance costs are just, you're foolish to buy it.
that you can get by by having the cross-year maintenance on a call basis.
That's what they do in all the state offices.
Try it.
I'm at the point today that we've either got to go one way or the other.
I've got to have an architect or else go ahead with this
and try to make it on that basis.
What do you all want to do?
Before you hire one, we're having that living there.
Now it's you doing it.
Well, what contract are you going to have?
Well, we're going to have to put it up for bids.
And you've got to have specifications going up.
Well, I can go ahead and draw the specifications up, but it's going to tell you.
In other words, you've got to do some running to do that.
You've got to get out and find out the type of lumber you need.
Well, them cabinets, I can tell you what that is.
That's my 99% of all your cabinets work is three-quarter-inch plywood with micropops.
out all right and then and then we're going to have to draw up the specifications for the uh
lightning such as that electric outlets which we already have marked off on this thing now
we have these balls marked off towards all you have to do and just go by and uh
city inspector running wild being on it well do you want me to go ahead with it
to myself that approved with everybody all right you have a preliminary copy of the flood prone
areas of caldwell county and uh we've got to proof it before they approve the maps completely in
other words if there's any mistake made it's ours and then i haven't looked at it other than the
fact that we looked at martindale right here and uh i want each one of y'all to look at your area
in your in your county and see if this is a flood prone area for instance bob they've got all
martindale on a flood prone area and it's here well it's been a hundred years in there i know
but uh that's that's the way it is
got to hide that one time blow the dump off but
so you know find let's see find your own precinct let's see this is then this is
You ain't never got Jared Gotton's job, Colt.
I wish you'd watch that stuff.
Watch all those other boys out there.
You got all this from Pre-K.
That's probably right.
That's from Hayes County on down.
These rattles.
Then you got Brushy Creek.
I think there's all the Mendoza area.
That's probably all of that's torn.
I'm trying to get on to it before I give him head.
That's Stuckey.
Travis County?
Ain't got no flood there.
There's Martindale right here.
Boy, they got Martindale's whole flood.
Bob?
Huh?
There's Martindale right here.
Let me see it.
Well, that's just a...
There's Tom's up there.
I guess that's all right.
This is Tom's.
What do you think about that, Bob?
Are we going to prove that this way and anybody build a house in Mortondale?
They've got to meet all them down specifications.
They've got to meet all the specifications and get a plug for all the insurers.
All right, that's pretty real.
At that mark, they were doing it.
I've seen that river on Warhorse.
The only time the river gets up there.
Oh, she's got a flood zone there in Bayou.
Right here.
See this part of Bayou?
Right here?
The water comes back through there.
Go right in there.
Oh, this part of the river has been under water.
This river was stable, didn't it?
Yeah, this river was stable.
Now, even this has been under water, but when they have a real bad rain, it ain't got nothing to do with the river.
Now, I've seen water over this road right here.
Now, here's another part of the river, Bob.
It's all under water.
Where is that 1977 across there from the table?
That house of mine is a hundred and something years old.
It ain't never been in here.
There's another part of yours now.
Here, Mr. Bringer.
I've got two stories I ran up to.
It ain't going to flood for you now, the first of January.
Well, Bob, take a pencil and mark this thing.
See, I've seen it in that way.
I don't know where it ought to be, Judge, the river comes down through there.
There's this part here, this is over here, and this is where Luke County is.
It floods on the Luke County side, it don't flood on our side.
Houston, we've been stranded, being honest with you.
We've been homeless for an hour and a half.
Well, I can't walk.
There's all this area here.
I ain't never seen you ride up in there.
I've seen you ever get up, and I've seen you back up right here.
Well, this is all yours right here.
Right across here.
Well, that's where I built it.
This area right here.
I've seen it back up right there.
That's all yours.
The river ain't never got all this is high.
We're not going to have a flood.
Well, this down out here is high.
This river ain't never got all this.
This water's over here.
You're hoping.
Well, it's got that wrong.
that's what i've seen was all pretty good except martindale but martindale is sure messed up
well i ain't sure yet
that's uh that's bob's i know that's bob's they show that carroll county's old well they're
showing all that they're just showing all the river is under flood i guess
you're screaming i ain't got a scream i'm just gonna tell them it ain't right
see they got the whole town on the river here
they come up this is where 80 in it
got it toward even comes across 80 in one place now no that's not right
Now this is it, oh it don't come across there, you know where I'm at now, this is that creek
right here, Calhoun Creek right there, and this creek here, it don't get that wide, it
You can get that so far as you can.
Yeah, that's the scale right there.
The only way you can check it out is get those elevation maps.
I've got a set of them myself.
And they're on that.
That's the elevation map.
That's the only way you can do it.
Now, there's one set on that table.
I don't know whether it's still over or not.
Here's Dale.
sorry about that stuff you got a bunch of your territory out there
I'll check the elevation on these you know I guess that's about the only thing I can do
look at them little bitty creeks and bases
you know four or five inch range creeks gets up
and the rivers get up but they don't it's not gonna flood
the town well those creeks do they don't get bad
that's sort of shitty right here below Star Town
I don't know where that's at.
We just got one more.
You know where that town's at?
What town is it?
Right here.
What town is it?
It's right on the road.
435.
You alright?
Yeah, but I don't know where to get my field.
We didn't bring them up, Tom.
You proved them downstairs.
We didn't have time to buy them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
183, all right, I've got Plum, Clear Park, and West Park.
That's Plum, Clear Park, and West Park, I understand that.
66, I've got McMahon.
Boy, they got that building with the big flood zone, and now they've got the dam built.
Maybe they didn't know about the Plum Creek dams.
The dam's been built, that's what I'm saying about this.
YouTube, YouTube, man.
