getting the value of each dollar,
spent for the tax payers of the
county and is striving in every

FOR TRUSTEE
Paine Williams has authorized
the Courier to announce his can-
didacy for the office of school
trustee of the Elgin Independent
School District, to be voted on at
the election on .-April 1st, at
which time three trustees are to
be elected.
Mr. Williams, son of Mrs. R. L.
Williams, of McDade, has lived all
his life in McDade and Butler and
is prominently known throughout
the school district. He attended
Southwestern University, George-
town, receiving his BA degree. He
formerly operated the McDade
Pottery in McDade and the Mc-
Dade Mercantile Company, prior
to moving to Butler in January,
1943, where he is associated with
them dispose of the utilities to the
city.
Due to the utiring and persist-
ent efforts and influence of Cong
Thornberry, Swiftex Village will,
at least for the time being, ‘re-
main intact and continue to be
operated as the same as has been
for the past two years.
Swift-Tex Village provides hous-
ing facilities for approximately
one hundred nineteen families,
consisting of about 290, persons.
Fixed income of the residents of
Swift-Tex Village is approximate-
ly $28,500.00 per month and
Swift-Tex Village employs 6 per-
sons. Swift-Tex Village as you can
readily see, amounts to a very
sizeable pay-roll for the City of
Bastrop and other towns in Bas-
trop County. The City and its citi-
zens of Bastrop and other towns
in Bastrop County should feel a
great indebtedness to our Cong-
ressman for his untiring efforts
in assisting us in the maintaining '
of Swift-Tex Village for the bene-
fit of our community.
Again Bastrop was confronted
with the need of an industry. It
was learned that an Air Force Ac-
ademy would probably be located
in Texas. A preferable location
would be a small town near a city.
However, other states are also
making a strong bid for the Aca-
demy. Congressman Thornberry
urged Secretary Symington to
give consideration to Bastrop for
the proposed site of the Air Aca-
demy and through his interest for
Bastrop, he has succeeded in plac-
ing Bastrop on the prospective list

ROY (DUTCH)
FRAZIER FOR
TRUSTEE
Dr. Joe V. Fleming authorizes
The Courier to announce that he
is a candidate for re-election for
the office of School Trustee for
the Elgin Independent School Dis-
trict, to be voted on at the elect-
ion to be held April 1st, at which
time three trustees are to be elect-
ed.
Dr. Fleming has been a resi-
dent in Elgin some 14 years and
needs no special introduction. He
has always been active in civic
and school work and has given
conscientious and faithful service
as a member of the Board for a
number of years, now serving as
president, therefore he well knows
the duties and responsibilities
that the office of Trustee carries.
He is particularly interested in
the improvement of our schools;
is progressive and untiring in his
efforts. Since he has acquainted
himself with the Gilmer-Akin bill,
and in view of the $25,000 bond
election coming up which will
make possible repairs and recon-
ditioning of th?- school plant,
plans for which he is familiar, he
feels that he is qualified to give
the district valuable service, coup-
led with his personal desire that
Elgin Schools be among the best
in the state.
He is a busy man but will de-
vote as much time as is necessary
to properly discharge the duties
of the office he seeks. He has
made an excellent trustee and no
mistake will be made by re-elect-
ing him for another term.
Dr. Fleming will greatly appre-
ciate your vote and influence.
ELGIN, BASTROP COUNTY, TEXAS , THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1950
Some days ago all Elgin resi-
dents received a card telling
them their house number and
now if all home owners will put
up their house numbers right
away it is going to mean more
to you than you think, for a
survey is due by a government
agency that will give you a ser-
vice you have never had but al-
ways wanted—if all house num-
bers are up.
So get busy right now. Paint
’em on, buy ’em at the 5 and
10, have Les Nichols saw ’em
out of wood or Bill Zapalac cut
’em out of galvanized iron ac-
cording to your own design;
put them on in any form you
wish—but get them up, AND
SOON!
Colored County
Interscholastic Meet
March 17-18
The Colored County Interschol-
astic League Meet will be held in
Elgin Friday and Saturday, Mar.
17 and 18th. The literary events
will be held at Washington School
Friday. The track and field will
be held at the Elgin High field
on Saturday. These activities
create a great amount of interest
each year, between participating
schools of the county, and a huge
crowd is expected to attend.
Basketball in Washington school
was completed Wednesday night
at the El Hi gym., when the Elgin
girls defeated Dorie Miller of
Austin 29-20. The girls played
10 games during the season, and
won all of them. The boys team
played 13 games and lost 3.
At the regular meeting of the
Chamber of Commerce March 9th
County Commissioner Vernon
Harrison reported that he is still
trying to get the Elgin-Colorado
River Farm to Market road pro-
gram on higher priority. Upon his
suggestion the C of ■ C asked
Judge J. J. Sapp to come here for
a conference on the matter and
Judge Sapp promised to bring it
before the Commissioner’s Court,
and did, on March 13th. Thus far
no action has been reported. The
Chamber will continue to push
this needed project and do every-
thing possible to get it on top
priority list.
Meyer Simon reported on the
East Texas trip made by a com-
00 per $100.00 evaluation. The
issue will be completely repaid in
fifteen years and will not slow
the retirement of present bonds
nor will it interfere with the oper-
ating budget of the district.
7. How is a bond issue repaid?
The voting of a bond by this
district would permit the board
to increase the debt against the
district. This debt would be re-
paid by using a portion of the
school tax which was voted last
summer. In order to repay me
present bonded indebtedness plus
the proposed bond issue would re-
quire only about one third of the
tax income. The remaining two-
thirds will be used for current op-
erating expenses and to pay our
district’s share in the State Foun-
dation Program. (Gilmer- Akin
Laws). A bond issue does not
raise the tax rate. This rate can
be raised only by a vote of the tax
payers in an election which has
been called for the purpose of in-
creasing the rate.
8. Will this bond issue be used
to construct a football stadium?
No. The Athletic Program, as
a part of the whole school prog-
ram; will receive its share in re-
pair and maintenance. There will
be no especial favoritism shown to
any department of the school.
Go to the polls April 1st ..and
cast your vote for the improve-
ment of our local schools by fav-
oring the Bond Issue.
All of the free public schools in
the district will be repaired ac-
cording to their needs. This in-
cludes: High School and Junior
High, South School, and Wash-
ington School.
4. Is the Elgin District better
able to vote a bond issue now
than last year?
Yes. The consolidation prog-
ram under the Gilmer Akin Law
has increased the size of the dis-
trict and the property evaluation
total has also been increased.
Thus, the subsequent increase in
income will now,allow a bond issue
which last year would have caus-
ed considerable strain upon the
district budget.
5. Will this bond issue require
an increase in evaluations thru-
out the district?
No. The amount of this issue
can be absorbed within the pre-
sent evaluations. However, this
does not eliminate adjustments by
the equalization board in indivi-
dual cases. As you know this
board is required by law to equal-
ize the tax burden by adjusting
property values in line with their
real values. These adjustments,
whether up or down would be
made irregardless of the passage
of the bond issue.
6. Will the bond issue raise
my taxes?
No. The proposed bond issue
will be repaid from income based
upon the present tax rate of $1.-
NOTICE TO ALL
CATTLE OWNERS
In the very near future, Dr. R.
J. Rodgers, the State Veterinar-
ian, will be in Bastrop County for
the purpose of making T.B. test
on cattle. For all who are inter-
ested please notify D. B. Mc-
Combs, county agent. Bastrop as
soon as possible by mailing a pen-
ny postal card with the following
information: name and mailing
address, location of farm (road
or highway) and number of cattle
in your herd, including all ages.
There will be no Bang’s test-
ing done during the T. B. testing.
1. Why is a bond issue need-
ed at this time?
For the past several years the
annual budget of the Elgin School
Dist. has necessarily , been limited
as to expenditures for repairs and
major maintenance expenses. The
need for these repairs has accum-
ulated until an emergency situa-
tion is present. Such items as
paint for the buildings purchased
from the camp, repair of the heat-
ing systems, repair of the plumb-
ing, and interior painting are past
due. The students have been un-
comfortable on cold days and the
drinking water supply is inade-
quate. Equipment is limited and
quite well worn. An adequate
school program requires improved
facilities.
2. How was the amount of tne
bond issue determined?
Certainly all of the needed re-
pairs and equipment will not be
accomplished for this amount.
Conservative estimates have plac-
ed the minimum at a much higher
estimate, however, it would be
unwise to burden the district at
this time since a new building

On February 6th, 1950, the
citizens of Bastrop received the
unfortunate news that the Nat-
ional Guard was leaving Camp
Swift and consolidating at Camp
,Hood on Febraury 27th, with the
move to be completed by March
27th. Upon receiving this news,
the Chamber of Commerce
promptly sent telegrams to Sen-
ators Tom Connally, Lyndon
Johnson and Congressman Homer
Thornberry. All were very cooper-
ative in attempting to retain the
National Guard, but to no suc-
cess.
Since the National Guard was
leaving, there was the problem of
continuing operation of the water
and sewage disposal at S’wift-Tex
Village, as the utilities were oper-
ated and maintained by the Na-
tional Guard. Upon learning this
fact, the Chamber of Commerce
appealed to Congressman Thorn-
berry to do all in his power to
help retain the utilities. Congress-
man Thornberry at once cooper-
ated and arranged a meeting with
the Field Representative of the
Federal Public Housting Adminis-
tration. Also a committee was
sent to Dallas and a conference
was held with the General Ser-
vice Administration and attempt-
ed to have the City of Bastrop’s
priority reinstated in order to
give the city a chance to purchase
the utilities from the Federal gov-
ernment. Through the committee’s
efforts from Bastrop, it was par-
tially agreed upon to turn the uti-
lities over to the United States
office of Trustee for Elgin Inde-
pendent School District, to be vot-
ed on in the election April 1,
when three trustees will be elect-
ed. _
Burke was born and reared in
Elgin; is a graduate of El Hi. He
owns his home here, has three

much interested in making them

iness activities and friends feel
he is fully qualified to serve as
trustee in a manner which will
meet the approval of everyone in-
terested in better schools for El-
gin; more advantages for our
school children.
