Rating Increased
Burleson Independent School
District’s bond rating has been
increased from a B rating to a
A rating due to a meeting of
Burleson School Board offic-
ials and personnel of -Moody
Investor Services, Inc. Thurs-
day, October 23 in New York
City.

kins, secretary, John Latham,
S. B. McClure, Stribling, su-
perintendent, and Bill York,
fiscal agent, Stem Brothers &
Co. made the presentation to
Ben Phillips at the rating firm.
The new rating will mean
that the Burleson school bonds
will be more marketable, more
than likely selling at a lower
rate, thus saving the taxpayer
•money.
Burleson Independent School
District will be selling $1 mil-
lion worth of bonds Monday,
November 10 primarily to fin-
ance the construction of the
new J. W. Norwood Elementary
School. The rating increase
was sought to be a boost to the

trict and the taxpayer.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR:
The discussion at the count-
ry store Saturday night got
started on President Ford’s
safety and sort of took off ever
which way. It was Clem Web-
ster that allowed we have seen
some changes in this country
when the President is safer in
the same room with the em-
perer of Japan and the chancel-
lor of Germany than he is walk
ing or riding on the streets in
America.
Clem said it’s awful when
our own people try to shoot the
President, buti when we can’t
even git the poor man across a
intersection, that’s dumb. The
Secret) Service has gpne from
400 men to 1,200 in the past
eight year, declared Clem, and
all 1,2000 of em weren’t a bit
of good to him when his limo-
sine run a red light the other
week and got) smacked by
young feller that had the right
of way. Clem said it looks to
him like Mr. Ford had ought
to stick dost to home, instead
of making all these non-politi-
cal trips all over the country
to help hisself and all them
other non-politicians that are
trying to stay in office. Clffm
said he can’t see why the Pres-
ident can’t do in Washington
what he’s been running around
all over the country doing.
Like usual, Ed Doolittle was
disagreed with Clem. First off,
Ed said, Americans don’t want
a President we got to keep
locked up fer his own protec-
tion. We want him to be a
free man heading up a free
country, and that means we
want him to be able to go when
and where he pleases. Another
thing, went) on Ed, is that hav-
ing a President visit you makes
you important. Towns in this
country spend a year i
ready fer a two-hour stop by
a President, Ed went on, cause
we feel the office belongs to
us, not stuck behind some
desk with guards on the doors.
Zeke Grubb broke in to re-
mark on what Clem had to
say about the President’s sup-
per guests. Zeke was of a mind
that politics ain’t the only
thing that makes strange bed-
fellers, wars do to. We’re git-

is in a very solid position with
a good fuel supply and low
rates. “The gap is widening
between TESCO m'es and the
national average”, lp\ said.
“All electric rates are goirg
up, but we are .going up much
slower.”
Citing numerous power
firms across the nation who
have held up critical power
plant) construction due to lack
of income, he said, “The im-
pact for the customers of such
a company will come three to
five years from now when the
demand for electric power in
their area surpasses the capa-
city to generate. They could
have brown outs, rationing, in-
dustrial curtailment and loss
of jobs. New ptente wiM still

will cost much more^We have

TESCO is currently engag-
ed in* a construction program
wfth Texas Power & Light and
Dellas Power A Light to build
power plants that wffl use lig-
nite and nuclear fuel, both of
