PUBLIC NOTICE
Regarding City of Throckmorton
and Woodson Dump Grounds
The Throckmorton County
Commissioners’ Court has made
arrangements with the City to
leave the City Dump open for a
trial period of time.
Due to recent regulations
affecting the disposal of solid
wastes the City has had to close
the Dump Grounds when an
attendant could not be present
to supervise dumping.
The conditions under which
these grounds will be opened
are as follows:
(1) All dumping must be done
where indicated by signs.
(2) No fires will be set by the
public.
(3) Small animal bodies must
be placed in the separate pit
designated by sign.
(4) Before dumping large an-
imals, arrangements must be
made with city officials to bury
them immediately.
(5) If these rules are not fol-
lowed, any violator will be sub-
ject to fines of up to $200.00.

Notice Affording Opportunity
For Public Hearing
Corridor [Location] and
Design [Combined Hearing]
The Texas Highway Depart-
ment is planning the improve-
ment of FM 3327 in Throckmor-
ton County. The proposed
project begins on US 183 at a
point 2.4 miles south of
Woodson and proceeds east-
ward along an existing County
Road for a distance of 2.2 miles.
The proposed improvement
on this project will consist of
grading, drainage structures
and surfacing 20 feet wide. The
right of way required for this
construction will be a minimum
of 100 feet. In some cases,
additional right of way may be
required for drainage outfall
channels. There will be no dis-
placement of people as a result
of these improvements.
Maps and other drawings
showing the proposed location
and geometric design, environ-
mental studies and other
information about the proposed
project are on file and available
for inspection and copying at the
office of the Resident Engineer,
Mr. Arnold W. Oliver, State
Highway 16 North, Graham,
Texas. Also, the drawings
showing the proposed geometric
design have been placed on file
with Throckmorton County.
Information about the State’s
Relocation Assistance Program,
benefits and services for dis-
placees and the relocation
assistance office as well as
information about the tentative
schedules for acquisition of
right of way and construction
can be obtained at the Resident
Engineer’s Office in Graham,
Texas, and from Roy F. Lanford,
Supervising Right of Way En-
gineer, 1601 Southwest Park-
way, Wichita Falls, Texas.
Any interested citizen may
request that a public hearing be
held covering the social,
economic and environmental
effects of the proposed location
and design for this highway
project by delivering a written
request to the Resident Engi-
neer’s Office on or before May
15, 1975.
In the event such a request is
received, a public hearing will
be scheduled and adequate
notice will be published about
the date and location of the
hearing. Ap 24-2tc
(6) Any defacement of signs
or vandalism of any sort, will be
punishable by fines of up to
$200.00.
If everyone will follow these
rules we can keep both dumps
open, but if Rules (1), (2), (3) or
(4) are ignored, the dump will
be closed again.
The agents of the State
Department of Health have told
us that the public, in general,
will not honor these regulations
and that we will have to close
the dump except when atten-
dants are on duty. We are
asking you to prove them
wrong.
If we can all cooperate on this
matter, we can save the city and
county governments money,
and that, of course, will save
you money.
Thanks,
Throckmorton County
Commissioners’ Court

The summertime beauty of
our state’s lush vegetation in
yards, fields, pastures and
woodlands also holds dangers
that the public should heed.
Throughout the U.S. and
Canada more than 700 species
of plants are known to cause
death, illness or extreme dis-
comfort to people. Chewing,
swallowing or otherwise con-
tacting the toxic parts of certain
plants, trees and shrubs takes a
heavy toll. Each year health
service reports that about
12,000 children are poisoned or
injured by these sources.
Parents should be concerned
because many of the plants are
quite common in flower and
vegetable gardens, and in orna-
mental landscaping, as well as
in wild places. Bulbs, roots,
seeds, leaves, bean stems or
berries may contain poison,
depending on the species of
plant.
The beautiful oleander bush,
for example, grown all over the
country, contains a deadly
stimulant similar to the drug
digitalis. The toxin is so strong
that a single leaf can kill a child.
People have died merely from
eating steaks speared on
oleander twigs and roasted on a
fire.
The popular Christmas flower
poinsetta is full of an acid,
burning juice, so lethal that a
child who consumed one leaf
might die. Mistletoe berries can
also be deadly.
Both Alexander the Great and
Marco Polo spoke of two
marvelous trees in India which
could speak Indian and Greek!
Other common plants in
Texas that have poisonous parts
include elephant ear, larkspur,
azaleas, lantana, yew, oaks,
poison hemlock, water hemlock,
poison oak and poison sumac.
More detailed information on
these and other plants can be
secured from health and plant
authorities. Soil Conservation
personnel throughout the state
cooperate fully with council in
keeping the public alerted to
plants that cause these prob-
lems.
Notary deadline
set May 15
Texas Secretary of State Mark
White has announced that all
presently commissioned Nota-
ries Public desiring reappoint-
ment for the new term which
begins June 1, 1975 and ends
June 1, 1977, must pay the
required fee and file a new oath
and bond with the County Clerk
between May 1, 1975 and May
15, 1975, inclusive.
Secretary White further stat-
ed that any person not now a
Notary Public who desires
appointment for the beginning
of the new term on June 1, 1975,
should apply to the County
Clerk before April 30, 1975. The
required application forms may
be obtained from the County
Clerk.
White emphasized that Nota-
ries Public should not send
requests for appointment or for
commissions directly to the
Secretary of State as the law
specifically provides that the
County Clerk approve Notary
Bonds and forward copies of the
application to the Secretary of
State.
