As the land goes down, tide
markers have to be raised to give
accurate data on when and
where to expect tidal flooding.
New tide markers placed in
the Brownwood area this week
show a mark-up of 10 inches.
That is how much the land has
sunk there in three years, based
on the 1976 U. S. Geodetic
Survey. The previous survey was
made in 1973.
A new marker at Goose Creek
Stream near Robert E. Lee High
School is being raised by 6 in-
ches. That vicinity, in other
words, subsided a half-foot in
the three-year lapse between
surveys.
Provided by the U. S. Corps of
Engineers, the new markers
were installed by the city
engineering department. The
Brownwood — Scott’s, Crystal
and Burnet - are covered by the
tide markers.
Hickerson said markers in
Brownwood were raised 1.9 feet
in 1969,1 fciot in 1971 and nearly
10 inches in 1973.
“They have been raised a total
of 4.5 feet since their initial in-
stallation in 1964.”
The historic bench mark off
Bayway Drive was installed in
1915 at an elevation of 30 feet. As
of July, 1976, it had sunk to 20.94
marker on East James will not
be changed until a new survey is
made in that area. The eastern
part of the city has not been sur-
veyed yet.
"We’re real pleased with the
new markers,”, said Civil
Defense Director Fletcher
Hickerson
porcelainized and can be cleaned
and read easily.” .
New markers in the
Brownwood area are located on
Bayshore, west of Shreck;
Bayshore, near the intersection
with West Bayshore; on Crow
Road and off Bayway Drive near
Burnet School.
Hickerson says the marker off
Bayway Drive is one of the most
reliable gauges because it is the
least affected by wave action
from ships in the channel.

CROSBY (Sp) — Members of

Commerce should receive a
written reply in about 10 days on
their request for priority status

Joe Keating, chairman of that
group’s highway committee, led
a * four-man delegation from

to Austin this week to request
funds'for the project from the
State Highways and Transporta-

The commission, which deter-
mines allocation of state funds
for highways, gave the group
tentative approval for the right-
of way (ROW) purchase for the
freeway, Keating said.
Keating said the group made a
presentation asking for priority
status of the Northeast Freeway,
which was begun in 1955.
The freeway would parallel
