Were Opposed
Afifiearing in o[>position to the
rotation plan, were Mm. Jewell

head, and Dist Judge Harry
Schultz of the 69th district.
The motion to retain the rota- i
tion system for 1965 was made
year if the court thought it nec-
essary. But the court didn't see,
at the time at least, the
necessity for retaining the mem-
i tiers for an additional year and

decision.

"The problems of the board
are complex,” Schultz told the
. “These [leople
appearing liefore the board are
| all mixed up You and I can
I airily logic to our proMems and
solve them," Scixiltz said, “but
the people appearing before the
welfare Ixtard don't necessarily
L do that."
•Problems Change'
Schultz pointed out that the
problems of the board are con-
I tinuous. “They (the welfare
| board! may straighten out one
1 problem, and the people con-
h cemcd may create another i>e-
forc the day is out."
Schultz toki the court that "ex-
i perience is valuable enough that
i you need to go slow on
| rotation plan."
And slow they went, moving
I along at a snail’s pace, finally
coming to a split-vote decision
i about 6 p m. Monday.
Coleman’s resignation was re-
quested since he will become a
memlier of the Commissioners
Court January 1. He defeated
; Guinn in the Democratic pri-
mary last spring to represent
the citizens of precinct 3.
"He (ColemanI has served the
board well in the past two and
one-half years," Williams fold
the court, "but we have had a
great deal of criticism because
the commissioners were also
serving on the welfare Ixiard.
For that reason I would prefer
' that memliers of the commis-
sioners court no longer serve on
the welfare board." Hicks, who
has served on the board only
six months, tendered his resigna-
I that the rotation plan be delayed
until members could serve more
to have ccss|xjols. Hut I don’t
think anylxxiy out here needs
water too bad. . If they would

A home owner near the south-

"annexation explanation" meet-

time resident who favors entry.
“I mentioned it once and they

tied under the bridge down there.
Then I could get all the water
I wanted." He laughed ami con-
_______: "I keep thinking Dim-
mitt will come up and annex;
us. Or they’ll put a toll gate
' up at the bridge (on S Main j
St.) and charge us for using'
the city's streets."
A resident of only a few
months has seriously consider-
ed the move and volunteered:
“There are several things to
take into consideration. They
j need a school out here awful
bad. I don't know whether they
would put one out here without
being in the city? We need sew-

Next to ap|iear in behalf of

Judge Schultz who counseled the ; eaqxirt would normally go.

fire-fighting.
On the other hand, those op-
posing the trading of the re-
gion's "step-sister” relationship
with the city of Hereford for
"one of the family" ftosirion
frequently mentioned these fac-
tor's :
The toss of their

— The paying of city taxes
and the assumption of the city’s
debts.
Would Be Wanted
— The expense already met
i in providing water and sewage
disposal which, if the area were
annexed, would turn out to be
wasted improvements, except
' perhaps for irrigation purjxises.
The loss of livestock and
horses.
The benefits which annexa-
tion would bring to persons who
, own large amounts of projierty
! in the South Hereford area.
This is what some of the South
Hereford residents said when
i asked why they are either for or
: against annexation:
"When we bought hcre we
bought with the idea of licing
out of the city," said a house-
wife in a well-to-do home. "We
take the area along the Dim- !
mitt highway — there's where
most at your valuation is — and
down Austin Road to S. Main
That’s about all you could hope
for now." That, however, would
not take him in. "Those folks
south of us have been out of

The problem of water also 4
