County Deputy And City Marshal —

Deputy Warren Hart
and City Marshal Tam

warning to juveniles
and their parents on
the operation and permis-
sion to operate off-

According to Deputy
Hart, several complaints
have been reported

which can be filed
are: Unregistered Ve-
hicles, Uninsured Vehicle,

These charges will
be filed through the

"Alleys are not a legal
place to ride. The
only lawful place to
ride is on private proper-
ty with the owners
concent or specific
areas designated for
off-road vehicles.
Bucks 2 - 2 In District
After 22-7 Loss To Gruver
Oops, We Goofed!
The new look
of the WD News
in the past two
issues will be chang-
ed back next week!
We thought this
new type would
pr int better and
be easier to read-
but from the numer-
ous complaints-we
goofed! So back
the new machine
goes...and the old
will be repaired.
The WD News needs
newer up-to-date
equipment, but
what our little
paper can afford
I is the problem!

ty and the State of
Texas will either ap-
prove or disapprove
11 proposed constitution-
al amendments in the

day, November 8.

Jr. and Tam T erry,

Amendments summariz-
ed by T exas Press
Association are as
follows:
AMENDMENT NO. 1:
Authorizes fewer justice of
the peace and constable
precincts in counties with a
population of less than
30,000 and provides for
continuous service by coun-
ty officials when precinct
boundaries are- changed.
This amendment, skill-
fully authored by freshman
Rep. Dudley Harrison, D-
Sanderson, is aimed at re-
ducing the cost of county
government in rural areas
which do not need as many
as the constitutionally re-
quired four JPs and con-
stables.
Harrison convinced the
Legislature that some rural
counties could get by with
as few as one JP and con-
stable, and their county gov-
ernments could save reve-
nues if they could drop the
unnecessary salaries.
If approved by voters,
county officials would have
until Jan. 1, 1987 to comply
with the new requirements
which would designate new
precincts according to popu-
lation.
AMENDMENT NO. 2:
Proposes to replace the limi-
tation on the value of an
urban homestead with a
limitation based on size, with
regard to the forced sale of
the property.
Currently, numerous lots
d signaled at a maximum
value of $10,000 are desig-
nated as an urban home-
stead and are exempt from
forced sale.
This amendment would
base the exemption at one
acre of land, together with
any improvements.
Amendments
AMENDMENT NO. 3:
Would give the Legislature
the power to grant agricul-
tural producers associations
the authority to collect a re-
fundable checkoff on their
product sales.
These producers would
first approve the fee collec-
tion in a members referen-
dum. The proceeds would be
used only for research, mar-
keting, and educational pro-
grams relating to that par-
ticular industry.
AMENDMENT NO. 4:
Authorizes the Legislature
to provide for temporary
succession to offices in the
Legislature when a senator
or representative becomes
unavailable to serve during
enemy attack emergencies.
It also provides for sus-
pension of certain constitu-
tional procedural rules dur-
ing emergencies caused by
such an attack.
Grand Saline State Rep.
Bill Hollowell, a staunch
veteran, authored this bill
providing for the Legislature
to operate under nuclear
attack or war.
AMENDMENT NO. 5:
Proposes to authorize use of
the Permanent School Fund
to guarantee school bonds.
This bill would aid local
school districts with con-
struction needs but unfavor-
able economic conditions for
unaided bonding. The pro-
posed guaranteed bond pro-
gram would save-school dis-
tricts millions in long-term
construction debt financing.
AMENDMENT NO. 6:
Would allow the court to
garnish wages for enforce-
ment of court-ordered child
support payments.
Current law prohibits the
court from forcing part of a
person’s salary or wages to
go to child support pay-
ments. Brownsville Rep.
Rene Oliveira authored this
bill aimed at parents who
default on such payments.
This amendment does not
allow any other sort of debt
to be subject to garnishment.
AMENDMENT NO. 7:
Authorizes $800 million in
state bonds to finance home
purchase loans for Texas
veterans.
Modeled after the 34-year-
old veteran’s land program
which helps vets buy 10
acres of land, the proposed
program is aimed at the
modern vet who may only
want to buy an urban resi-
dence.
The program would be
self-supporting.
