COUNTY—
Continued From Page 1
“No county prisoner should be
placed in any jail other than
the county jail in Sinton.” He
also pointed out to the court that
the county may be subject to
a law suit because of the death
of a prisoner several months
ago in the Mathis city jail, in
which jail the county held an in-
terest.
Allen Vogel of the Ingleside
fire department came before the
court to recomend an increase
from $25 to $75 per call for fires
in rural areas in which volunteer
fire departments have to work.
He brought before the court a
list of figures to show that the
Ingleside volunteer fire depart-
ment had answered 224 fire calls
of which 76 were rural fires
between May 1966 and t ii e
p r e s e nt time. The county
paid approximately $1,990 to the
Ingleside department for those
calls. Vogel also pointed out that
that the city of Ingleside had
paid $15,113 for truck mainten-
ance and $8,000 in bond money
on equipment in that same
length of time.
Judge Schmidt suggested that
die increase on fire calls be
made to meet the $75 per call
as suggested by Vogel. R ay Har-
ris then suggested that the in-
crease be made to raise the per-
call at a total of $50 since the
county is in a financial “tight-
money” period. He told the court
that money to meet the increas-
ed in fire calls on a county-wide
basis would amount to approxi-
mately $10,000 annually. There
are eight volunteer fire depart-
ments in the county and the in-
crease in fire calls will apply
to all eight departments.
Harris also stressed the fact
that there will have to be a tax
increase to meet a $75 per call,
and he suggested that the in-
crease be on a graduated basis
until October 1971, the earliest
time a tax increase’ can be
made. His suggestion was ap-
proved by the court voting to an
increase to bring the amount
per call to $50 until October 19-
71.
The resignation of E. B. Yea-
ger of Aransas Pass as director
of San Patricio County Naviga-
tion District was accepted with
the court deferring the appoint-
ment of his successor until a la-
ter meeting.
The date for the meeting of
the county equalization board
was changed from June 25 back
to June 22 was made. The board
will have its public hearing on
oil, gas, public utilities and in-
dustrial properties on that day
changed.
The county attorney told the
court that sale of a 25-foot strip
of land between the home of J.
W. McGaffey and the seawall
would have to be advertised for
sale. McGaffey had petitioned
the court to purchase the
county-owned strip of land. The
matter of the purchase of the
land was deferred until the next
meeting of the court.
The petition of Mrs. Velma
Sherman, county clerk, for an
extra deputy during the months
of June, July and August was
approved by the court and the
salary for such deputy will be
commesurate with the salary
paid extra help in the tax office
each summer.
Ounce of Prevention
May Prevent Trouble
San Angelo — The best method
of dealing with snakebite is to
avoid it, according to the Texas
Parks and Wildlife Department.
When spring comes in, snakes
come out, and an ounce of pre-
vention may save the outdoors-
man from serious trouble.
Campers, hikers, fishermen,
birders, outdoor photographers,
flower enthusiasts and summer
rabbit hunters invade snake ter-
ritory when they go afield, and
a watchful eye and a pair of
good boots are good protection
from snakebite.
Region I director Henry Bur-
kett said a snakebite kit may be
the lowest priced form of pro-
tection and outdoorsman can
have, and if a trip afield is at
night, a good flashlight may help
avoid the hungry rattler out
searching for food.
Area Men To Attend
F B Training Meet
The San Patricio County Farm
Bureau will be represented at
the Texas Farm Bureau Lead-
ership Training Institute to be

James Adams, and A. E. Teit-
schik and Joan Miller.

nessee Made It Work.”
Another feature of the institute
will be a speech by the 1970 re-
cipient of the Texas Farm Bu-
reau scholarship presented an-
nually to a leader in FHA. She is
While the fatality incidence
for snakebite is extremely low,
a bite may have serious side ef-
fects if not properly treated.
Thorough familiarity with first
aid is as important as the snake-
bite kite itself and may save
a victim needless medical treat-
ment.
Miss Barbara Baley of Hico who
will speak on “America the
Beautiful.”'
Other speakers will include
Texas Farm Bureau executive
director, O. R. Long, and TFB
president, Sidney Dean, who will

Texas.”
Roberts started lecturing on
Americanism in 1950 and has

Bureau Federation before join-
ing the staff of the AFBF in 1950.
Dean has been president of

tute will be a breakfast on June

pose of this meeting will be to
