The friends of Constable Clint Eddings would like
all the public to know that we strongly support the
article about Clint Edgings which appeared in the
Humble Echo last week.
We feel the public already knows what Clint Ed-
dings can do. He has already done more for this
town and the children than any other one man.
The people know that now they can feel free to
go on our streets anytime without fear of harm.
We know it and ask you to help us with your support
to show again just what he can and will do to keep
our precinct law abiding.
We have a good man in office now! Let’s keep
him there. Go to the polls and vote May 4th for'
J.C. “Clint” Eddings Constable of Precinct 4.
If you want to know for sure what kind of man
you’re voting for, feel free to come by Clint Ed-
dings office anytime. He’s on call 24 hours a day.
You’re always welcome and your vote will be ap-
preciated.
Re-Elect
J.C. 'Clint’ Eddings
For Constable of Precinct 4
(Political advertisement paid for by supporters of
J.C. “Clint” Eddings.)
Dr. Patrick J. Nichol-
son, executive director of
the commission, outlined
procedural steps required
under law to initiate the
circulation of the petitions
and the subsequent calling
of the election.
The official name for the
junior college system, if
ultimately a pproved by
the electorate, will be the
Greater Houston Com-
munity College System.
Discussions at the meet-
ing made clear the point
that when signatures for
the 10,000 petitions to be
circulated are sought,
those signing will be in-
dicating their wish to see
the matter brought to a
vote in a formal election
and not necessarily in-
dicating their approval of
the system.
“Voters will not be ex-
pected to make their final
decision on the issue until
they have become fully ac-
quainted with all the facts,”
Dr. Landrum stated.
In the event qualified
voters approve the crea-
tion of the district it is
anticipated that the first
year’s operation will see
5.000 students in the sys-
tem. Within five years the
enrollment is expected to
reach 25,000.
At the time the election
is held voters will also
be asked to elect a board
of seven regents who will
be responsible for the op-
eration of the system.
Voters will also be asked
to approve issuance of
bonds sufficient to con-
struct a physical plant cap-
able of accommodating
25.000 students.
The system will operate
on county assessed valua-
tions and preliminary es-
timates indicate an aver-
age tax levy over the next
fives years of 15 cents a
year will be required. Pre-
liminary cost reports given
GIVE TO FIGHT
the commission indicate
the cost to the owner of a
$25,000 home will average
less than $1 per month.
The area in which the
petitions will be circulated
initially will be in the Hous-
ton Independent School Dis-
trict and 14 adjoining school
districts in Harris County,
including the Humble
School District, not now in
a junior college district.
