RUSK LIONS
Senator Nichols speaks on
transportation, road history
By Billy Watson
Special Contributor
Speaker for the Aug. 28 meeting
was Texas Sen. Robert Nichols. He
spoke of his grandfather being a
Methodist minister in Rusk in the late
1940s. He said he discovered when he
was elected to the Texas Senate that
it had been 104 years since a sena-
tor had been elected from Cherokee
County. That senator was James I.
Perkins from Rusk.
Sen. Nicholssaiditalwaysseemed
like the three main issues in legisla-
tion are education, transportation and
water. This was even true as far back
as 1911. Ofcourse health and human
services and labor were also important
issues. Education and how to fund it
is the most important issue.
Sen. Nichols has served on the
transportation committee for almost 11
years, and spoke on growth of Texas
and its affect on transportation, road
repair, building new roads and toll
roads for larger cities. He has spent
a great deal of time on the upkeep of
country roads.
He said he spent so much time on
transportation until he actually had

a nightmare and dreamed he was a
muffler and when he awoke he was
exhausted.
He was very glad to say that Texas
had one of the very best transportation
systems in the world, but because of
the huge growth of our state our road
usage has increased between 300 and
400 percent during the last 30 years.
Roads only last at most about 40
years and the great bulk of our road
system was built during the 1950s and
60s. The roads are beginning to wear
outand ittakes funds from registration,
gas taxes, drivers license, federal aide,
other sources to keep them up. The
high price of gasoline has cut down on
gallons used and therefore cut down
on tax funds for roads.
One key element is toll roads, but
people didn't like them at first, but now
the largerurban areas appreciate them
as they allow traffic to move faster, thus
helping to eliminate traffic jams.
President Jeff Johnson asked
Dan West to give the invocation, Jim
Cromwell to lead the pledges and Jim
Richings, the singing.
Special guests were Connie Brown,
Mayor Angela Raiborn, Robbin Bell,
Bob Francis, Don and Lyn Sawers,
Josie Schoolcraft and Boots Burfoot.
