Baytowa ’voters have decided they do not want to

In Imovy balloting laat Saturday, they dedaivety
defeated % proportions totaling 12.840,000. The
* margin of defeat ranged from about 400 to 900 votaa
on all the proposals
If the bond* had been approved, the money would
have been uaed for atreet and thoroughfare improve-
ment, to build a new city hall, to Install drainage
facilities not connected with street improvement, and
for park improvements, acquisition of sites mainly.
Of the 12,840,000, the bond issue was broken down
like this:
1. For streets and thoroughfares, $2 million.
2. For new city hall. $390,000.
A- For drainage fecilitiee, $35(1000. ------------—
4. For park improvements, $100,000.
Voting in six of the city’s eight precincts followed
a decisive pattern, with the number of ballots for
and against the four propositions totaling about the
same. The drainage and street bonds carried in only

a. This is the second time since 1957 that
the voters have defeated a proposal to build a new
city halL ;* ','
Baytown, of count, can go along as it has without
, any of the improvements proposed in the bond issue.
We can make out with a city hall that has been in-
adequate for a long time. We can do without parks,
drainage and better streets.
There is one thing we can’t get along without and
that ia progress. A growing community Kke Baytown
can go in only one direction if it wants to continue
to grow—and that is forward. If it doesn’t go for-
ward, it either goes backward or stands still. It can-
not stand still for long because regression is the
handmaiden of non-progressiveness.
Baytown may be able to maintain its self-imposed
austerity indefinitely, but the signs of inevitable re-
gression are already apparent. Streets are not getting
any better and people have begun to move to the
suburbs along major highways. Public buildings are
getting older, more inadequate and more rickety.
There has been no property tax increase in Bay-
town in 14 years (since consolidation), which means
city councils have had to pinch pennies to maintain
essential municipal services while the cost of every-
thing inched upward.
But the people do not want taxes increased. They
said sa when they voted down the bonds which would
have necessitated a 12-cent increase.
We don’f blame people for being opposed to In-
creased taxation. We are opposed to it, too, just for
the sake of raising taxes, but wt don’t m how the
same tax rate eaa continue to provide the kind of
municipal services people demand year after year.
Baytown has never been a city anxious to keep up
with the Joneses, and that ia fine. The Joneses often
live above their income. However, it is no longer a
matter of keeping up with anybody, ft is a matter of
choosing between continued growth and progress or
allowing them to pass us by. **.\
It is a safe bet that the present city council will
neither raise taxes nor submit another bond issue.
The people have said no to both. There will be no
plans to submit another bond issue in the immediate
future. It may be several years before the citizens
are ready to approve one.
The only choice left to the council is to go ahead

Two disturbing news items crackled on the wires
the other day.
PRESIDENT Kennedy has been
getting some ribbing from wine-
bibber* about hi* championing of
milk. They recall that his father
built up part of the Kennedy for-
tune as the exclusive agent for
Haig and Haig after prohibition
ended in the U.S.A.
However, JFK wasn't kidding
when he quoted the Public Health
Service regarding milk and chol-
esterol.
Some doctors have been warn-
ing that milk caused fat (choles-
terol) in the bloodstream, there-
fore was dangerous to heart pr
tients. However, in a recent re-
port on national dietary problems,
the Public Health Service states:
"There is increasing evidence
that there is no direct relation
between the amount of cholesterol
eaten in the diet and the amount
ot cholesterol in the Wood.”

We do tave a vast source of
good Information which will may-
be someday be of value to u*.
In New York, the electricians’ union won its fight
s Re-
for a 25-hour work week, and the Fund for the
public, a New York organization, reported that a study
showed men are gradually losing their battle with
machines. ;.
The next 20 years'should tell the story, according
to the study. By that time the nation will be fully
automated and man-mad* machines will be doing
most, if not all, of the work men now do.
The study reveals that four different classes of
society will emerge during the next two decadeB,
•acb with its own problem of readjustment to the
fully-automated age.
If true, the portent of all this is that man has in-
vented (and will continue to invent) his own destruc-
tion. The machines he has created will deprive him
of * livelihood. They will be (ajuLmany are how)

There is a grave problem here. As the population

progresses, ii become* more automated. This dras-
tically reduces the number of available jobs.
