Everything seemed to be going
just right. The petition requesting a
$1 million bond election for hospital
improvements had more than
enough qualified signatures. The
reading of the official election order
went smoothly. The documents were
all prepared and ready for signature
and the vote was unanimous for the
two-part ballot that would also
include $375,000 for a new library

Other Business
Purchased a new 50-hp pump from
Smith Pump Company for $3,377.
Rogers advised the council that
the city owned a 44-foot trailer but
did not have any truck tractor to
move it. The council instructed him
to find a used tractor that would be
suitable for the job and would be
adaptable for other uses such as
hauling dirt.
Approved a contract with Henry
Whitmore for installation of a hydro
unit at the dam. The city would have
the authority to shut down the unit
when drought conditions prevailed.
The turbine will drive a 500 KWH
generator and provide electricity to
the city. Whitmore will maintain the
apparatus and gain 100 percent of
the profits the first year of operation.

Llano, Llano County, Texas 78643
Live artillery round
: --
In June 1968, Llano County Crime Stoppers received a tip on the
location of a pistol that could possibly be stolen during a residential
burglary in the soytheast part of Llano County, according to Criminal
Investigator Ron Hannon with the Llano County Sheriff’s Department.
A subsequent investigation by the Llano County Sheriff’s
Department and the Horseshoe Bay Police Department resulted in the
arrest of two persons for the felony offense of burglary of a habitation.
Additional property from other burglaries was also recovered at this
time. This intensified the investigation and 21 other buglaries were
cleared.
Llano County Crime Stoppers has paid a substantial reward for the
original tip which began the chain of events that cleared these 22
crimes. The award was made Thursday, June 23.
Uano County Crime Stoppers will offer up to a $1,000 reward for
information leading to the arrest and grand jury indictment of persons
who have committed felony crimes.
You do not have to give your name or in any way reveal your
identity, and any information you give will be kept strictly confidential.
“This is our first award for Llano County," Harmon said in making
the announcement. “I hope this will encourage others to give Crime
Stoppers a call when they see something or someone doing something
that is not quite right.”
Call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-323-TIPS
each polling place. I need their
names, addresses and phone
numbers."
County Judge W. R. "Bill" Miller
and commissioners were taken by
surprise. It was incredible to them
that such a thing would be required,
especially since Llano County has so
few Latin American voters. Davis
said the names were needed that day
if possible and not later than
Monday.
He went on to explain that the
Spanish interpreters, who would
have to be able to read and explain
the ballot, did not have to remain at
the polling places all day but they
had to be close enough to be able to
get to any polling place within 10
minutes.
the results were: Adult-Virginina
Franklin; Senior Individual-Dane
Saucier; Junior Individual-Vicki
Franklin.
A noon meal was served by Laird’s
Bar-B-Que and Catering, Llano,
followed by viewing of the cattle that
were on display. Plaques were
donated by some of the association
ranches. The fall sale date is
October 19, 1968, at the Gillespie
, County Fairgrounds.
"It is only reasonable that we take
good care of our water plant facilities
and not put too much of a strain on
them during peak usage periods,”
Rogers said. “Already, this sum-
mer, we have approached the two
million gallon mark on several
occasions.”
Highway SH 16 is the dividing line
for the city. When the plan goes into
effect those living on the east side of
the highway would water on Mon-
day, Wednesday and Friday. Those
living on the west side would water
on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Sunday would be designated a
“catch-up” only for those who
missed a regular watering date.
Aidermen agreed this would be a
sound management plan and expres-
ed the feeling that they felt the
people of Llano would be more than
willing to cooperate and help take
care of their water plant in this
manner.
Sprinkler systems would not start
before 6 a.m. and be through by 10
a.m. In the afternoon they would not
start before 5 p.m. and be off by 10
p.m. This would give the public nine
hours for watering and provide the
water plant with 15 hours of
pumping to refill storage tanks.
The council also gave tentative

Cherokee plans
big celebration
for July 4th
Cherokee - While the population of
Cherokee may not be as large as
many of the other Hill Country
communities it doesn’t mean that
they can’t celebrate Independence
Day, the Fourth of July, in a very big
way. If you are looking for a lot of
good old-fashioned fun and games,
good food and a grand display of
fireworks to end the day, just head
north on SH 16 out of Llano, and 15
miles later you will be in the middle
of a gala event.
At high noon the celebration gets
off to a rousing start with a
traditional parade down the main
street, starting at Cherokee Feed
Store on the south side of town.
From there the scene changes to the
Cherokee Arena one mile east on FM
501 toward Bend. Here there will be
plenty of riding events for all ages,
including a few non-riding events
such as the egg and spoon race, goat
dressing and whatever else can be
thought up.
The next scene will be at Cherokee
High School grounds for a barbecue
supper with all of the trimmings
starting at 6:30 p.m. Musical
entertainment is included and more
field games will take place.
The grand climax arrives after 9
p.m. when it is dark enough for
everyone to enjoy the fireworks. An
open invitation has been sent to
everyone in the area to come to
Cherokee for your 4th of July
celebration.
for holiday
Correspondents and adverti-
sers are reminded that Monday.
July 4th, is a holiday and most
businesses will be dosed to
celebrate Independence Day.
Since there will not be any postal
service, deadlines have been
moved forward one day.
Please have your copy available
by 5. p.m., Friday. Late copy
should be delivered by other
means. The Llano News office will
be open until noon or until all
available copy has been pro-
cessed so most employees can
enjoy the holiday.

The Llano City Council, their
regular meeting delayed one week
for the lack of a quorum, approved a
wholesale power contract with the
LCRA, voted to re-establish a
hydro-electric facility at the dam and
set in motion a water management
plan to cut water usage when it
reached a certain level.
The meeting held Monday night at
City Hall also saw the approval for
the purchase of another water pump
and gave city manager George
Rogers instructions to look for a good
used diesel truck tractor which could
be used to haul wire and metal from
the city dump for sale and also be
used for other hauling purposes.
Water Management
The new plan will put into effect
alternate watering days for residents
in the city of Llano when water usage
tops 1,800,000 gallons of water for
three consecutive days.
