Beginning about three-quar-
ter mile beyond of Argyle, the
new route comes north to Den-
ton on the east side and along
the railroad track, to the north
side of Hickory Creek where a
bridge will be built.
Then where the railroad
bends westward, the highway
will continue straight north to-
ward Denton on the east side of

“I thoroughly disagree,” said
Commissioner Walker. “I think
in the next few years we are go-
ing to spend more money on
road and bridge operations, but
in doing that we will have better
roads and better bridges.”
One thing on which all
agreed was that the current sys-
tem must be changed.
With the road and bridge re-
sponsibilities split between the
four commissioners, the result
was a “disjointed” approach to
the county road system accord-

Cleaning Denton’s
reservoir a big job
About the biggest job Den-
ton’s city workers have recently
tackled is cleaning out the accu-
mulated sand from the concrete
bottomed old city reservoir. The
last cleaning is said to have been
sixteen years ago, but officials
supervising the site doubt that it
has ever been cleaned.
The sand is packed to a depth
of U feet, and a centrifugal pump
brought in for the purpose last-
ed two days before it was “worn
to a frazzle” and had to be
junked.
An endless conveyor was in-
stalled and men with shovels
loaded it but found the sand too
difficult to work with. A fire hose
and steam jet have been used
with some success but it is ex-
pensive because it takes two
men to run the apparatus.
Mayor Foreman said that
when the work is finished, he
will have every main in the city
flushed and the water should be-
come clear. It has been neces-
sary to cover the reservoir to
keep out the sunlight to prevent
the formation of algae or moss.
When the new system is
turned on, all residents will have
to do is dial 9-1-1 to request
emergency police, fire or medi-
cal assistance.

Thursday night voted 3-1 to cen-

many details on implementa-

The vote was taken after a

mended the proposal.
Commissioner Buddy Cole
cast the sole vote dissenting vote,
saying county residents should
have been given a chance for
comment through public hear-
ings and open forums.
Still, Cole said he thought it
the best way to handle road and
bridge operations depending on
how it is implemented.
Reservations were expressed

new system a major advance-
ment in emergency response

The system also has an auto-
matic location and number

most of the district’s 265,000
residents. When a call comes in
the caller’s address and tele-
phone number are displayed on
a computer screen. This capabil-
ity allows the dispatcher to send

propriate location even if the
caller is unable to relate his ad-
dress or the nature of his call or if
he is cut off.

Preparation made
to list Denton aliens
B. W. McKenzie, postmaster,
and Ray Bishop, assistant post-
master, will go to Fort Worth
Monday for a one-day course of
instruction preliminary to the
beginning of alien registration.
All aliens with the Denton
post office area will register at
McKenzie’s office in cooperation
with the Alien Registration Act
of1940, which requires all aliens
to register during the official
registration period from August
27 to December 26.

Many of the young couples
said they were planning big

The dream of county public
safety officials to have an inte-

response system is just one step
away from becoming a reality.

DALLAS (AP) - An Uber
driver in Dallas who served time
in federal prison on a weapons
conviction has been charged
with sexual assault.
Dallas police have accused
Talal Ah Chammout, 56, of Pla-
no, of sexually assaulting a wom-
an July 25 after dropping her off
at her Oak Cliff home.
Chammout was indicted in
2006 and convicted in 2007 on
federal charges in California for
being a felon in possession of
firearms, a status that stemmed
from a June 1995 assault convic-
tion in California.
Chammout’s attorney, Ste-
phen H. Miller, did not immedi-
ately return call seeking com-
ment. Chammout was jailed
Saturday in lieu of $100,000
bail, The Dallas Morning News
reported.
Uber spokeswoman Jennifer
Muhin told the newspaper that ah
drivers must pass background
checks that include county, feder-
al and multi-state records.
Federal prosecutors dropped
a conspiracy to possess stolen
government property charge
under a plea agreement that
sentenced Chammout to six and
a half years in prison in 2007.
Court documents state that
between September 2005 and
December 2006 Chammout
bought five Beretta pistols and al-
so tried to buy stolen rocket
launchers and technical specifica-
tions for an anti-tank weapon and
Stinger ground-to-air missiles, ah
from a cooperating witness.
When federal agents raided
Chammout’s office there found
about 40 firearms, including
three AK-47s and the Berettas.
Federal court records show
Chammout was trying to buy
the military equipment to send
it outside the U.S.
His attorney in that case de-
nied his client had terrorism
motives, court records show.
Chammout was released from
prison in 2012.
The native of Lebanon
moved with his family when he
was 14 to Liberia, where he even-
tually worked at an U.S. Air
Force Base. The family immi-
grated to the U.S. and settled in
Dearborn, Michigan, where he
worked for the city’s parts de-
partment and bought a conve-
nience store with his brother.
When he learned a truck stop
was for sale in Portersville, Cali-
fornia, Chammout moved to
buy and operate the business,
court records show.
