After nearly two and one half
hours of interviewing and delibera-
tion on Monday afternoon, the
Austin County Commissioners' Cou-
rt tabled selection of a civil engineer
for one week. Interviewed by the
Commissioners during Monday's
special session were the firms of
Charles A. Kalkomy, O'Malley and
Clay and Pledger Schulze and
Kennedy. "All three firms that were
interviewed today come with excel-
lent credentials and are well quali-
fied to perform the task of providing
the Court with the prelimiary report
required bv law before going into the
actual formation of a drainage
district," stated a member of the
Commissioners Court. The Court
has agreed to wait until next Mon
day to select one of the three firms to
begin negotiations with prior to
entering into a formal contract.
John Abel and Rev. Mike Michaels
representing H.O.A. appeared at
Monday’s special session to update
the Court on the reorganization of
the Senior Citizens Project in Austin
County. Progress in reorganization
of H.O.A. was noted and support to
the Senior Citizens Project was
expressed by the Commissioners.
No allocation of funds budgeted for
senior citizens will be made until the
program is completely reactivated.
Rev. Thomas A. Wallace also
presented an annual report on the
Emergency Relief Program in Aus-
tin County which is jointly financed
from State, County and local contri-
butions. The Court allocated 81,398
to match state funds which is 8252
less than the 1965 allocation.
Other business during Monday's
meeting included acceptance of a
plat for Brazos Country Subdivision,
Section V; adoption of resolutions
congratulating the Bellville High
School Mock Trial Team for advanc-
ing to Regional competition and a
resolution in support for keeping
Vocational Agriculture and FFA
Programs in Texas high schools by
requesting that adequate state staff-
ing to support such programs be
restored.
Joy Klein of San Felipe, William
Dierking of the Kenney-New Weh-
dem area, and Harvel Zaskoda of
Sealy were appointed to the Austin
County Historical Commission.
The Court also acknowledged a
letter from the Texas Justice Train-
ing Center certifying that Justices of
the Peace, Hon. Thomas Richter,
Pct. 1; Hon. Reggie Taylor, Pct. 3;
and Hon. Dennis King had com-
pleted the required training for their
office.
Budgetary and financial matters

the remainder of Monday's Com-
missioners Court session.
Health
Service Fee
Collection
The Texas Department of Health
announced that beginning January 1
Bellville Public Health Clinic, as
well as all public health clinics in the
Texas Department of Health Region
11, will participate in a pilot project
to collect fees from patients to help
pay part or all of their costs of
service. Payments will be based on
ability to pay.
Funding for the Texas Depart-
ment of Health has been reduced;
yet the number of patients has
increased as have health care costs.
To offset these factors patients who
can afford to contribute to the cost of
their services will now be asked to
do so.
Dr. Sisley, Director, PHR11, said:
“The charging of fees is a means of
ensuring continued service to all
who need health care. I want to
make it clear that no one will be
denied service at our clinics because
they have no money. We just need
for those who do have resources to
help pay for the services they
receive. This will allow us to use the
limited funds we have to serve all
who have need. In addition, we want
to urge anyone who can afford
private health care to see their
family physician,” Dr. Sisley ex-
plained.
A sliding scale, similar to that
currently used in determining eligi-
bility for the Department of Human
Resources’ Food Stamp and AFDC
Programs, will be used to determine
the amount the patient is expected to
pay. If the family income is over the
guidelines they will be referred to
their private physician in lieu of
receiving services at the clinic.
Every cent of the patients’ contribu-
tions will go toward defraying the
growing costs that have threatened
the clinic's ability to continue serv-
ing all persons who need helo.

H.O.A.
Makes Plans
By John Abell
Acting Chairman
Helping One Another Program
last week the newspapers of
Austin County carried an article
sharing with everyone the reorgani-
zation that 13 underway to make
H.O.A. Inc. (Helping One Another) a
viable program.
The announcement of the resum-
tion of services in the area of meals
(homebound and congregate) is
expected shortly. Before that can be
substantiated by a date of resump-
tion there has to be some equity built
up to pay for the cost of the services
over and above what the federal
funds will pay for as well as paying
for some of the outstanding in-
debtednesses.
The Board of Directors has passed
a resolution that of every dollar
given as a gift 60% will be for the
covering of the expenses over and
above the federal dollars and 40%
towards the payment of debts begin-
ning first with the bank loan taken
out several months ago.
As a part of the program, all
donors will be recognized by a
receipt of appreciation as well as
having their names printed in the
section of the newspaper under the
ad soliciting funds for H.O.A.
The Board of Directors have
underwitten the first part of this
campaign titled “United for Our
Seniors" by subscribing from their
own pockets some 8500.00.
Everyone is asked to give, wheth-
er a small or large or medium-sized
gift for this work. It is in love for our
Seniors to help them remain in their
homes and at their congregate sites
by receiving a balanced and nutri-
tional meal each day during the
week. Please have a heart and
sustain what has been begun so
successfully in serving our Seniors
in all sections of our County. All time
and travel and expertise is being
provided free by all the Board
Members and those assisting them.
