night at the intersection of Bay-

Neither driver was injured,
Baytown Police Chief Blair

a ticket by Patrolman Harvey
Frost, who Investigated, for neg-
ligent collision
Driver of the other was was
Coleen William Turner of 114

Forst said both cars were go-
ing south on Bayway about 10
p.m. The Turner car moved to
the right and the patrolman,
, thinking the driver was at-
tempting to make a right tunt,
moved over to the center to go
around the car. The Turner car
made a left turn onto Baker
andthe left front of the patrol
car struck the right rear fender
of the Turner car, the officer
said.
Apparently the police car had

its merits.

bers had gained valuable exper-

years, He added that errors

Baytown Police Chief Blair
Mann praised an unidentified
Baytown citizen whose alertness
Thursday night was probably in-
strumental In stopping a residen-
tial burglary’
The caller, who did not give
hjf name, telephoned police
about 10:15 p.m. with informa-
tion that he saw two or more
men attempting to get inside
the Ernest Dittman home at
1603 E. Wright.
Patrolmen Merced Oviedo and
Wilfred Spell, who were at the
scene Within three minutes,
were unable to locate the per-
sons. They did find an open
window at the ffont of the
house, the back door open and
a screen door taken off its hing-
es In the front of the house
The chief said citizen’s actions
such as. this is to be highly com-
mended and “will go a long
way in helping the department
in its drive to stop residential
and business burglaries in the
Baytown area."
The Dittmans were out of
town at the time. However, the
patrolmen said nothing appear-
ed to be missing from the home.
A further check will be made
when the family returns, the
chief said.

Senior Colleges

Representatives from four sen-

visit Lee College to talk with
interested students.
Three of these meetings have
already taken place and one is

Potter were on campus last

"What it has amounted to is
a one - third increase, in the
tax rate of Harris County tax-
payers,” Elliott said. "The coun-
ty taxpayers will continue to pay
$1,41 per $100 valuation plus 46%
per $100 valuation for the
county hospital district.
"I’m afraid the full shock and
realization of this has not yet
been felt by the average tax-
payers in the county."
Judge Elliott said the main
reason for forming the hospital
district was not just to get ad-
ditional money, but to provide
for a closer liaison with one un-
it of government,
"This has not been the atti-
tude of-the board,” he added.
