Objects to Airport Fund
The minutes were approved, but
only after Hannah entered an ob-
jection to a motion tentatively set-
ting up 115.520 in this year’s air-
port budget, passed by the com-
mission April 28.
Hannah said he had understood
that only 85.007 66 was to be set
up for the airport, since 88,000 was
put In the budget last year and
not used and the Income from the
airport would be 82,422 34 cents If
it is collected.
During a round • table discus-
sion, it was brought out that the
88.000 was never drawn by the
airport and had been spent as a
part of the general fund.
•'It’s the first time I have ever
heard the money has been trans-
ferred and spent.” Hannah
claimed. “I think there’s a whole
lot of difference between five thou-
sand dollars and fifteen thousand.”
While Bailey Coffey, superinten-
dent of streets and bridges was
making his report, a discussion
arose In regard to cementing the
bottom of North Pecan Creek from
Austin Street west to eliminate
standing water and help protect
several bridges across the creek

8338,657.77 tn the electric light and
power fund, and 8744,659.55 in the
water and sewer fund.
The total for bond money not
yet used is 32,251,783.56, his re-
port showed. In two separate bond
Issues, one in October of 1946 and
the other in October of 1947 , 83,-
870.000 in bonds were voted for the
various funds named above.
Fire Marshal Eugene Cook re-
ported that his department answer-
ed 23 alarms last month and that
total insured loss was 8187. He said
that was a very low figure. Cook
also disclosed that 69 building per-
mits were Issued for 8535,135 last
month, with 59 of the permits for
new residences.
City Marshal Jack Shepherd

that blueprints for the project al-
ready have been drawn up and
said he would like for commis-
sioners to accompany him to towns
where the system 1« already in ef-
fect for further study.
There was some discussion of a
traffic light recently placed on
West Hickory at the Intersection
of Denton Street. Several of the
commissioners said they had had
complaints about the light.
Prefers ’Blinker' Light
Shepherd said he "never had re-
commended a stop light there.”
and that a blinker light would be
better. Some officials thought
that the light, ordered by the old
commission, was intended to be
a blinker light and it was decided
to check the minutes and perhaps
change the light.
Statistics released by Shepherd
showed 121 parking tickets issued,
77 cases filed, wdth 10 dismissals
and no dispositions shown on 7.
and 8606 collected in fines in cor-
poration court.
Two ordinances were passed, one
putting lot 1, block 1. of the College
View Addition into a business and
fire district, and the other putting
lots 25 and 26. block 412 of the city,
into a fire district to allow con-
struction of the Miller - Hinkle •
Thomas Clinic.
Harwell Shepard asked the com-
mission to allow him to purchase
' a portion of Ross Street which runs
in front of bls home in the
northwest section of the city. He
said the street has been “fenced
up’’ for the last 10 years His re-
quest wa* referred to the city at-

ket highway projects wtthln Den-
ton county, contracts recently
were awarded for two more, and
blds have been accepted for two
others. Randolph Kirkpatrick, res-
ident engineer for Denton county,
reported Saturday.
With advent of good weather,
Denton county's ambitious sched-
ule of state highway improve-
ments is due to progress rapidly.
The farm - to - market road pro-
gram is highly important to the
county in general and farmers In
particular. Right - of - way for
the new road projects has been
furnished by the county, with he
state and federal governments
building and maintaining the
roads.
Construction work Is under way
on the following projects- State
Highway 24. from a point 6 9 miles
east of Denton the Collin county
line: Farm - to - Market Highways
156 and 426 from Krum to Plain-
view; Farm - to - Market High-
ways 424 and 428 south and east
of Aubrey, respactlvely; and State
Highway 121. new location from
Lewisville east to the Lake Dallas
area.

Blds have been accepted,
contracts have not yet been award-
ed for work on State Highway 24
in the Lake Dallas section, and for
three new bridges on State High-
way 121, which will be construct-
ed from a point south of Lewis-
ville to Camev Spur, near the
Collin county line.
No work has been done by the
Denton county resident engineer
on the proposed superhighwsy pro-
ject on State Highway 77 between
Denton and Lake Dallas, sines
the district office In Dsllss has
charge of this work — still in the
"planning” stage. Preliminary sur-
veying work and negotiations for
right • of - way on 77 are being
conducted by the district office at
the present time.
The city commission put In four
hours of tending to the city’s busi-
ness Fridsy night, but only about
two hours of the meeting were op-
en to the public, with the rest
occurring behind closed doors.
After all department beads ex-
cept J. H. Parsons, superintendent
of the city garage, had reported.
Chairman W W. King declared the
session adjourned. That was al
9:45. and followed two hours and
15 minutes of monthly department
reports.
Some 15 spectators left after
King adjourned the session, with-
out knowing there would be anoth-
er meeting, since several of the
commissioners seemed to be pre-
paring to leave also.
King then declared an executive
session and reporters were barred
from the meeting.
Report on Highway
Mayor J L. Yarbrough told a
Record - Chronicle reporter that
the only business to be discussed
In the executive session was a
progrccs report on obtaining right-
of-way for the new Highway 77.
anti If such business were made
public, it might cause considerable
» reel estate speculation.
The reporter asked If it were
not true that Parsons was plan-
ning to ask the commission to buy
a new truck. The mayor said that
some such request might be made,
and if so, the meeting would be
thrown open again later. The re-
porter said he would remain out-
side the door for the meeting to
be opened agsin.
Immediately after Commission-
er J. E Fitzgerald closed the
door behind the reporter. Parsons
began presenting his request to the
commission. During the first
meeting. King had asked Parsons
for his report, but the latter said
he preferred to wait.
Truck Purchase Discussed
Parsons’ report and discussion
of whether or not the truck could
♦ be purchases from bond money in-
stead of regular budget funds con-
sumed about 45 minutes. All com-
missioners agreed that the city
should be able to buv equipment
with bond money, and a previous
opinion by former City Attorney
Tom B Davis was recalled In this
opinion. Davis had said such equip-
ment could be bought with bond
money if it were used in
structing bond projects.
R. L. 8elby. Jr., made a motion
to purchase the truck with bond
money and Ed J. WUHam| 8r<
ended the motion. When Fitzger-
ald aod Mark Hannah did not vote.
Selby withdrew his motion in or-
der that the quMtlon might be sub-
mitted to the new city attorney,
Rogers Teel, who was not present
for the meeting.
Following a report in the first
meeting by City Engineer T. 8
Penne baker showing the water,
light, and sewer department to
be a net of 817,313.49 in the red
for last month, the commission dis-
cussed what procedures to take in
collecting utility bills from Texas
State College fpr Women.
"I think there should be some
steps made to get this thing out
of the red.” Hannah proclaimed,
and Williams suggested the com-
mission hold an executive session
for the purpose of discussing the
issue with the city attorney. The
meeting was set for Tuesday night
at 6:30.
Pennebaker's report showed that
the light department was 85,951 -
68 in the red, the water depart-
ment 86.741.39 In the red, and the
sewer department 8602.27 in the
black. Less 85.222.69 depreciation,
the total figure showed operations
817.313 49 in the red.
Unpaid accounts in the light de-
partment totaled 8309 10, In the
water department 82.005 16, and
in the sewer department 8396 05.
Friday night's meeting was
opened by the reading of the min-
utes of commission meetings over
by City Secretary
TThe proposed work was refer-
red to the city engineer and Cof-
fey, who were instructed to draw
up specifications and also contact
Baker - Floyd Co. to ascertain if
some arrangement could be work-
ed out for the cement company to
pour its day’s washings into the
creek at strategical locations.
Dr. M. L. Hutcheson, city health
officer, said his department had
recorded 250 cases of measles the
last month and there were 27 births
and 19 death. He said the number
of outdoor toilets had been reduc-
ed from 557 to 470
Dr Hutcheson, questioned by
the mayor, admitted that his de-
partment is running In the red,
but he challenged the mayor to
"name me one department head
that's not going In the hole.”
Complaint on Grid Field
King said a complaint had been
registered with him that Dr. E. C.
Brodie is turning part of the high
school athletic field Into a cow pen.
Dr. Hutcheson said the complaint
properly fell to his department,
but that regulations provided only
that the pen be 100 feet away from
any house and there be 400 square
feet for (ach cow.
A stroke of luck was reported
by Pennebaker. He sad that an
order for a well pump delivered
last December and now Installed
.In No. 8 well had been duplicated,
and another pump had arrived.
Pennebaker said that Instead of
requiring "months” for the new
well authorized last week to be put
Into operation, it would be much
sooner If he were allowed to ac-
cept the pump.
He said the company probably
would discover its error shortly,”
and asked the commission to let
him sign papers for it so that it
might be retained.
"Take it; a bird in the hand is
worth two in the bush," was the
sentiment voiced by Williams.
Vote to Accept Pump
Hannah made a motion to allow
Pennebaker to complete the pur-
chase. and Williams provided the
second. The motion passed unani-
mously.
Jn City Secretary Knight's re-
port, he gave the funds remaining

ers ts to epcourage people to enter

tions Instead of the drawbacks of
the field,” Dr. Amo Jewett, as-
sociate professor of curriculum
and instruction at the Untverstly
of Texas said. "Important attrac-
tions teaching offers include secur-
ity and pride In the profession.”
