While ihe, ampaign is primarily

TP&L lcalmnager, said the ad-
vice and services of the tree trim-

the property, owners to the fore-
man of thejefee experts’ crew.
This added bseivice would apply

powerilinestut is not intended to
compete ur imhterfere with similar
work being done by local citizens.
It is emphasized that the tree ex-
perts employed by TP&L do not
concern themselves with handling
uprooted trees or other seriously
damaged trees that may have to
sawed to be removed. Their work
is concerned largely with trim-
ming and shaping trees that can
be saved. In such cases, the crew
will remove limbs and rubbish
from the property.
Mr. Stringer made it clear that
no work of any kind will be done
by the tree experts until the prop-
erty owners have been contacted
and their permission secured for
the job to proceed.
“Gainesville has long been
known as the ‘City of 100,000
Trees,’ Mr. Stringer said, “and the
ice storm of two weeks ago struck
a great blow to the beauty of
these trees. Our company is much
interested in preserving the beau-
ty of these trees by expert trim-
ming and shaping, and therefore
we have contracted for this work
to be done. The proper trimming
of the trees will also eliminate
hazards to the electric service by
removing branches from close
proximity to power lines.”

Acreage has been leased in
southwest Cooke county for
seven wells to be drilled to lime.
• To emphasize his statement,
Mr. McElrath submitted a com-
t parison of the amount of con-
5 istruction work done by the State
Highway department in Cooke
| county and in an adjoining coun-
ty of about the same size, and as-
county due to the fact that several
miles of access roads to Camp
Howze were built by the State
Highway department,- but the
costs, of these roads was borne
wholly by the federal govern-
ment
, As a result of these operations
by the highway department in the
two counties,” Mr. McElrath adds,
the other county has several
miles more of permanently lo-
cated and finished highways than
Cooke county with no expense to
that county except the costs of
rights-of-way. It appears that
with reasonable cooperation with
the department, the same results
may be had in Cooke county.”
Coordinated Road System
Mr. McElrath makes a recom-
mendation for a county-wide sys-
tem of roads coordinated with the
federal and state highways and
declares that in his belief, be-
cause of the stable financial con-
dition of the county, a road build-
ing program, providing for some
permanent road construction each
year can be carried out without
creating any long-time indebted-
ness and no increase in the over-
all county tax rate of 56 cents on

well as road building is carried
on in an economical and business-
like manner.
Referring to disbursements of
the road and bridge fund of the
county last year, amounting to
$148,558.07, Mr. McElrath says "a
check of the various items of dis-
bursements reveals that little
money was spent for things of
permanent value. This statement
is not to be regarded as a reflec-
tion upon or criticism of the com-
missioners court as a whole or
any member of the court . . any
constructive program must pro-
vide that as much of the available
funds as possible be used for work
having some degree of permanen-
cy rather than all be used for up-
keep only. A few miles of per-
manent roads built each year
lessens the upkeep costs and thus
makes available more funds for
building permanent roads.”

receipts and disbursements'is as
