New Radio Station
Approved for Police
The Bonham city commission
Monday night authorized the pur-
chase of a 100-watt short wave
radio as a base station for the po-
lice department, a 60-watt station
for the fire department and a
maintainer for the street depart-
ment.
The 100-watt base station will re-
place the present set which has
proven inadequate for the Uses of
the police department, not being
strong enough to permit commun-
ication with other law enforce-
ment agencies in the North Texas
area.
Purchase of the base station
and mobile units for the fire de-
partment was authorized to meet
requirements of the Federal Com-
munications Commission to put
fire departments on a channel oth-
er than that used by the police
department.
City Manager Ed Koenig esti-
mated the cost of the new radio
equipment at $3,000, adding the
city would receive full credit for
the present set which serves both
the police and fire departments.
One mobile unit now being used
by the fire department would be
traded in on the new equip-
ment. @
City Manager Koenig Said the
cost would depend on the number
of mobile units purchased for use
in trucks of the fire department.
Maintainer .
V Purchase of a 70-HP motor
maintainer on a bid of $10,285
from 'Browning-Ferris Machinery
Co., of Dallas was authorized by
the commission.
CyVictory, street commissioner,
said that the department had been
forced to take parts of two main-
tainers to make one that would
' function. . .
City Manager Koenig said that
the department was spending
more time repairing the equip-
ment than the equipment was be-
ingused.
Shaw Equipment Co., was the
only, other firm submitting a bid
on the maintainer.
The city manager said the new
equipment was badly needed to
carry on the repair program of
the street department.
The new maintainer will be de-
livered within three weeks.
It was pointed out that a more
powerful maintainer was needed
to be used in scarifying streets
which are being rebuilt.
Action Delayed
Action on requests to lease cer-
tain property from the city and
to change the zoning classification
of certain areas was delayed by
the commission pending further
investigation.
The. commission set a special
meeting for TUesday night to take
action on the two proposals.
Dr. E. G. Carney presented a
request to lease certain property
at Jones Field for the purpose of
erecting an animal hospital.
Members of the commission felt
it unwise to lease the property to
Dr. Carney as it had been acquir-
ed and was being held for use as
an industrial site.
However, thecommission did
agree to work with Dr. Carney in
an effort to secure another site for
such a hospital.
City Manager "Koenig was in-
structed to obtain certain informa-
tion in regard to additional sites
to be presented at the meeting
Tuesday night.
It was suggested that the north-
west corner of the old fair grounds
or a tract of land owned by the
Chamber of Commerce south of
the old National Guard Armory
might be obtained.
Ordinances Passed
The commission approved one
ordinance on final reading and
two others on first reading.
The ordinance approved on final
reading provides for rezoning a
lot at East 5th and Katy Boule-
vard for the construction of a
washateria for Negroes and rezon-
ing of 709 West 5th to permit the
construction of a rest home.
Passed on first reading was an
ordinance rezoning a tract on
Kennedy street to permit the con-
struction of a rest home for Ne-
groes.
Also given approval on first
reading was an ordinance provid-
ing for joint meetings of the city
commission and planning and zon-
ing board to take action on re-
zoning requests.
It was pointed out that such
meetings would permit faster pro-
cessing of the applications for re-
zoning.
City Attorney Ed Southerland
pointed out public hearings were
now held by both bodies but that
under the proposed ordinance, it
would be possible to take action
jointly and thus reduce the time
needed to take final action.
Drainage Problems
Boyd Manning handed the com-
mission a petition signed by 60
persons asking that steps be taken
to remedy a drainage situation a-1
long South 5th street.
Manning said that water from|
the high ground came down Main
and Center streets to overflow in-
to yards and homes in the areas
of the intersections of South 5th
with Main and Center streets.
Willie Carpenter and W. M. Mat-
thews also spoke on the situation.
Carpenter said that Powder
creek had filled up due to the
fact that willows ,were growing in
the bed of the creek.
Truman Atkins, D. L. Watson
and P. E. Biggerstaff spoke to the
commission regarding the chang-
ing of the zoning classification on
a tract of land at the intersection
of Russell and North. Center.
Biggerstaff has proposed to build
a drive-in grocery and real estate
office on the lot if the zoning can
be changed.
The commission delayed any ac-
tion on this question until a joint
meeting is held with the planning
and zoning board next - Tuesday
night.

For Gober Seniors ....
Doan, Wheeler
Are Speakers
WEDNESDAY, MAY 1 was Law
Day throughout the USA — a day
set aside in recognition of our
many fine citizens and outstanding
national leaders who are members
of the law profession.
One of Texas’ most famous law-
yers, United States Supreme Court
Justice Tom C. Clark, paid tribute
to the law profession and their
efforts to maintain this country as
one to be ruled by law rather than
ruled by men.
But three days earlier, while
many people across the nation
were making plans to pay recog-
nition to our attorneys, a famous
TV news commentator, in a nat-
tionally televised program, charg-
ed that 90 per cent of the attor-
neys in Congress have records of
cheating.
This was an unfair piece of
reporting. Since I am not an at-
torney, I feel I can be objective
about this matter. I deplore this
attempt to mar the reputation of
every Congressman who happens
to be a lawyer. In my opinion,
the law profession is, and will con-
tinue to be, a dynamic force in our
society and a necessary sounding-
board for our democratic heri-
tage.
ADVERTISING THE FOURTH
— In a month’s time, hundreds
of visitors pour in and out of my
office in Washington and I think
we have been missing a good bet
on a little free advertising of the
assets of the Fourth Congressional
District. My office here in Wash-
ington has high ceilings and emp-
ty walls with lots of space for
pictures. I can think of nothing
more fitting than to decorate my
pitals, recreation areas and other
points of general interest. If your
organization has any material of
this description, we would be de-
lighted to use it.
