Part Of Bond Program
City Is Spending $1 Million
On Water, Sewer Projects
By GLENN I A)WRY
(EDITOR’S NOTE: This Is
the second in a series of
stories dealing with Baytown’s
$2,696,000 bond Improvement
program. Sun Staffer Glenn
Lowry spent $0 days gathering
material for this series.)
On Nov. 2, 1957, Baytown vot-
ers handed the city council an
approved bond issue totaling $2,-
896,000—$1 million of which was
earmarked for improving to*
city’s water and sanitary sewar
On Feb. 6,1958, the water and
sewer bonds were sold, clearing
the way for starting the im-
provement program.
The $1 million was broken
down into two parts, $524,000 for
water and $476,000 for sewers.
However, the bonds were sold
as one unit because they were
all revenue bonds and can be
retired only from water revenue.
For that reason It Is difficult
to consider the two programs
separately.

ment program stacks up this
