"In the early days when this
part of the county was in Hop-
kins County, the town site was
known as Pleasant Grove. The
first community building was
built in 1879 by the Methodist
Protestant Church. There were
few settlers in this small com-
munity, but all of the fine type
believed in a better place in
which to live. From their efforts
the community grew. In the year
of 1896 the Texas Midland Rail-
road was built. The town was
surveyed out in May, 1896, and
at this time the name was
changed to Kate, as it was
known for about a year until

believed in beautifying the town

the east side of main street. This
building is something near two
hundred feet in length and one
hundred feet in width. Here is
housed all kinds of building
material, hardware, glass, coal,
sand, roofing, cement and brick.

Texas is in grave danger of
losing one of its greatest assets
-- a statewide network of good
roads.
The Texas highway system -
until recently widely recognized
as the best in the nation •• is
deteriorating rapidly. If action is
not taken soon, Texas will be
known for having the worst
roads and bridges rather than
the best.
A recent report of the Federal
Highway Administration reveals
that Texas is already well on the
way to achieving that unwel-
come status. The report shows
that Texas has 100,217 miles of
deficient roads and streets
more than any other state.
72.7 percent of the 137.855
miles of paved roads in Texas is
rated by FHWA as being in fair
or poor condition. Poor condi-
tion is described as badly crack-
ed rutted or broken in most
places, intolerable riding qual-
ity, and in need of reconstruct-
ion. Fair condition is described
as cracked, rutted or broken in
many places, barely tolerable
riding quality and in need of
resurfacing. Only 17 states have

The report also shows Texas
leads the nation in substandard
bridges with 16, 767. 39.3 per-
cent of the 42,665 bridges in the
state are either too narrow or too
weak
Prior to the regular session of
the Legislature which convened
in January, the State Depart-
ment of Highways and Public
Transportation requested $2.7
billion a year for the next two
years to fix the state’s roads and
bridges. Faced with declining
revenues, the Legislature ap-
propriated $1.9 billion a year.
The Department got $1.5 billion
less than what will be needed in
the next two years.
The Texas Good Roads/Tran-
sportation Association has ask-
ed Governor Mark White to
include highway funding in the
call for a special session of the
Legislature.
The heart of the problem is
the state gasoline tax. At 5 cents
a gallon, the Texas gasoline tax
is the lowest in the nation. One-
fourth of the nickel is con-
stitutionally dedicated to public

your car repaired and know it is
done as you would like to have it
done. They give road service at
all times, fix that flat tire and
sell you if needed that well-

your needs here. A line of parts
are carried and one of the best

all this you will find this garage

education. This leaves only
three and three-fourths of a cent
for road repair and improve-
ment. The portion of the Texas
gasoline tax available for roads
is less than one-third of the
average 11.95 cents per gallon
tax in all of the states and the
District of Columbia.
The Texas gasoline tax has
not been increased in 28 years.
The Texas gas tax has been
increased only once •• by one
cent a gallon •• in the past 50
years.
Since the state gasoline tax is
the primary source of revenue
for highway construction and
maintenance, it is not surprising
that Texas is lagging behind the
other states.
TGR/TA is supporting a pro-
posal by Robert Lanier, Chair-
man of the State Highway and
Public Transportation Commis-
sion, to change the current 5
cents per gallon tax to ten cents
or ten percent of the retail price,
whichever is greater. Under Mr.
Lanier’s proposal, the tax would
be ten percent of the average
retail price of gasoline sold in

“R. H. Wallace and

Grocery is here to serve you.
They are noted for their cleanli-
ness, quality groceries and low
price. If you would give them a
trial they could convince you
that this firm is trying to make
Klondike the best town in the
state to live in. In this store you
will find all fancy and staple
groceries, some dry goods,
feed, and always that welcome
that makes it a pleasure to trade
there, and you may know you
have a square deal. You are
invited to come to this store
every time you are in Klondike.
Klondike has twelve busi-

of each of these:
C.P. Hollon & Co.
"This firm was established at
Gough, four miles northwest of
here, in 1886. by C. P. Hollon.
He moved his stock from Gough
to Klondike in 1904, when he
bought his partner, J. B. All-
ard's part of the Allard General
Merchandise. In this store you
will find the best that can be
bought in the markets, for it has
been the company's aim to
handle the best quality. On this
they have built the largest gen-
eral merchandise store in Delta
County and probably the largest
in all North Texas. You will find
that they are builders of a better
town and believe in sound busi-
ness and fairness. When in
Klondike they invite you to their
store, and when in need of dry
goods, clothing, groceries,
hardware, and anything to be
found in a general merchandise
store, come here where this is
the motto, ‘Everything for Ev-
erybody.’ They also handle un-
dertakers goods.

Linda, a real ball of fire, has
dragged Chester to see the
Victoria and Albert Museum,
Westminister Abbey, Fleet St.,
St. Paul’s Cathedral, and - in
early July -- to Bath, a famous
"watering place.”
Chester and Linda are urging
Estelle and Sue to come over
(and the gals plan to go in
April). "Start walking now,"
wrote Linda. "There's good
transportation but there's plen-
ty of footwork and you'll need
good strong legs for sight-see-
ing.”
Linda described London as
beautiful and full of tourists
from all over. On the Queen's
official birthday, the McKinneys

saw Queen Elizabeth, Prince
Philip, the Queen Mother,
Prince Philip, Prince Charles,
and Princess Diana.

tax would be computed once or
twice a year, converted to a
cents per gallon basis, and
collected at the wholesale level
(as it is now).
Public opinion polls indicate
most Texans are willing to pay-
more for better roads.
The proposed gasoline tax
increase would cost the average
motorist about $34.15 a year.
Bad roads cost the average
motorist about $291.60 a year in
wasted fuel, tire wear, car re-
pairs, insurance costs, and med-
ical bills.
Since a teacher pay raise is
almost sure to be considered in
the upcoming special session of
the Legislature, an increase in
the state gasoline tax is gaining
acceptance as a way to generate
revenues to meet the state’s two
top priorities •• education and
transportation. Education
stands to gain in two ways.
First, twenty-five percent of the
revenue is dedicated to educa-
tion. And. secondly, making
highway construction and main-
tenance totally user financed
would free up general revenue
dollars for education.
