the 33rd district Court by January 30.
Prior to the announcement the city
council swept through an 18-point
agenda in little over an hour
purchasing a new fire truck, a cement

council members, and approved the
calling for bids for a new police car and

child allegedly born premature by
ceasarian section supposedly caused
when the mother stumbled on a city
utility meter in the yard where they
were living. The claim calls for $200,000
for the mother. Time and place of the
incident was September 22, 1983 at
1110 Luce Street in Llano.
“When the first letter was received it
was turned over to the insurance agency
which carries the city's insurance,” said
Mayor John Landon. “Nothing more
was heard about it until last Monday."
Rogers said. “All 1 know is they left
without paying their bill.”
The City of Llano has been asked to
reply to a $5.2 million suit for alleged
injuries to a mother and child when they
lived in Llano some time last year.
City manager George Rogers infor-
med the council in its regular meeting
Monday night that he had been served
with papers requesting a reply to the
charges in 20 days. No suit has been
formally filed in Llano County according
to court records.

of the livestock and the work of the
exhibitors.
"You have some very good steers.'J
said James Rathman of Elgin who
judged cattle division. “It wasn't easy
deciding which was the best in some
cases."
Rathman faced a particulary hard
decision judging Class 5 which was the
middleweight European Breeds. On his
first sorting the 1.140-pound steer of
Jeri Sue Murchison was first in line with
Lisa Kuykendall's 1.190-pound steer in
second. Rathman ordered another walk-
around of the top four and studied both
steers very closely. After much waiting
Kuykendall got the nod and Murchison
was second.
The decision turned out to be pivotal
in the final judging of all first place
winners for the grand champion steer.
Again Rathman took the microphone for
