HOW DO YOU STAND ON INCORPORATION?
Readers of the Sealy News have been hearing quite a bit in the
last few weeks about that mighty question of incorporation. In
order to get the matter before the public a friendly ballot has been
prepared for the people to express themselves.
On this ballot is a place for those to sign who are in favor
of incorporation. In the column below is a place for those who
are opposed to the proposition.
Names will not be used in either case unless specified by the
one signing.
The publishers are making this survey so the public will have
an opportunity to express themselves.
After signing the ballot please mail or bring by the News
office. The information obtained may be helpful in preparing a
petition asking for incorporation in case the people express them-
selves in its favor. As we understand the law anyone who votes
this ballot should be a citizen of Sealy and a qualified voter. Your
cooperation will be appreciated.
Entered as second class mail matter in the post office at
Sealy, Texas, under the act of Congress of March 3, 1897.

Two Ton Limb Shed
In Night by One of
City’s Live Oaks
Local citizens, blithely unsus-
pecting of the two tons of doom
that hung above them, were
spared when a limb of a giant
live oak tree on Spring street
south or tne courthouse crashed
to the empty street at 10 o’clock
Tuesday night. Neighbors heard
the fall for blocks around.
O. J. Miller and Ira Oakes, who
are hauling away the wreckage
for the city, said that the debris
will make eight truck-loads in
its trip to the dumping grounds.
One of the immense backlogs,
over three feet in diameter, cut
from the tree to make transpor-
tation possible, would last all
winter if it could be burned in
a fireplace, the haulers said.
Another Dangerous Limb
On this same thousand-year-
old tree which grows near the
W. M. Wallace home, there is
another limb which observers
estimate at five tons and which
is due to fall in less than a year,
they predict.
It is the opinion of the Citizen
that it would be well for the city
to keep a watch on these trees,
trimming the limbs to decrease
danger and to increase the life
of these valuable landmarks.—
Columbus Citizen.

What Does Incorporation Mean
Mny interested citizens of Sealy have raised the ques-
tion—why Should Sealy be incorporated? Or just what does
incorporation mean. There are many wild rumors afloat con-
cerning these matters.
Why should Sealy incorporate is a matter that can be
discussed from several angles. First, incorporation means
the binding of a group of citizens together for their mutual
benefit and protection, in this way putting someone at the
head of the group to carry out the wishes of the majority
and use the best means an policies to get certain things done
that will be the edict of those who are bound together.
Every business institution has someone at its head. The
bank has its chairman and board of directors. The oil mill is
run under the management of someone designated by the
stockholders. The grocery store, in order to succeed, must
have someone at the head. The well organized farm family
in their operations is under the management of someone.
No one can question the fact that where the people are to-
gether as an incorporation some one has the authority to
lay plans for going forward. They have certain legal author-
ity to see that parking laws are worked out and enforced ac-
cording to the wishes of the people and for their protection.
Plans can be made by the legally elected representatives of
the city government to work out more fire protection for
the city. Street lighting can be handled more efficiently un-
der incorporation. There are so many things under incorpora-
tion that make it so much more easy to get certain things ac-
complished.
In all probability our fire rates can be reduced. It is al-
together possible that plans could be worked out to where
the cost of operations for the first year would be so little
no one would object and this would give the Mayor and board
of aidermen time to study the problems from every angle
and then come back to the people and see what they wanted
done.
There are those who believe a high tax would be levied
upon the people. This is not true in any sense of the word.
Those who are in favor of incorporation do not want any
high tax. While all who know anything about incorporation
know there would be a small expense of carrying on the gov-
ernment for one year—the people by that time would have
some idea of what they could expect and of what they want-
ed.
According to what we have been told no one in a town of
under 5000 can be forced to build side walks. No one can be
forced to tie on to sewerage. There is no law to prevent peo-
ple from having a cow or chickens. A poll has been conducted
by the News asking all those who were interested in incor-
poration to come by the paper office and cast their vote eith-
er for or against. More than 100 people have signified their
interest in going forward.
No group is sponsoring incorporation. No plans have been
made for calling an election. No boundaries have been set.
The matter is simply a poll at this time.
If the people want to continue the ballot and wish to go
on with the move signify your desire by coming by and cast-
ing your decision. '
In case you are against incorporation please do the same
thing. The paper is not going to publish any names nor will
they be displayed to the public. The total count is all that
would be used.
Cast your poll today, either for or against incorporation.

Seyer’s Dairy Cattle
Tested for Bangs
In conformity with his policy
of keeping everything in tip top
shape around his dairy, Roy Sey-
er, proprietor, has had all milk
cows tested for Bangs Disease.
This program is in line with the
policy of Mr. Seyer to give his
customers the best of milk at all
times.
Roy uses milking machines
and is milking some twenty two
cows at the present time. He is
always in the market for good
Jersey cows and from his herd
furnishes retailers in Sealy.
Because of the frequent show-
ers said Roy I have been able to
graze my cows on good grass all
summer.
We are doing our best to fur-
nish the trade all the milk need-
ed for their customers but it
keeps us humping and most of
the time our supply is not quite
enough.
The public is invited to visit
this sanitary dairy at all times
and Mr. Seyer will be glad to
show the people how he op-
erates.
