the question if parking lots

Mrs. Hodde said her hus-
band had spent 30 years buil-
ding up his medical practice
at his present location, and he
would hate very much to have

historical value on some of the
homes involved.
Ed Lehmann spoke brief-
ly on behalf of himself and
Dr. Henry Boehm Jr., who
have property in the area.
“We. have stated our views
his family and close relatives
in the old cemetery.
Under Spanish rule Cole
was Alcalde of Washington
Municipality in 1828, and was
delegate to the Second Con-
vention to Texas, at San Fel-
ipe in 1833. He served in
Capt, William Warner Hill’s
Ranger Company in 1836. In
the same year was elected by
the Congress of the Republic
of Texas as first Chief Jus-
tice of Washington County.
On June 5, 1837 Cole be-
came one of the original trus-
tees of Independence Acade-
7 previously to the city com-
mission, and we know they
will render the decision that is
right for Brenham,” said Leh-
mann.
, Col. Tiemann, speaking for
the ur"on renewal agency, said
off street parking for down-
town Brenham was a high-pr-
iority of the city commission
that was handed to urban re-
newal as a directive some two
■yearsago.
“We began looking for two
• types of areas. Either ar-
eas of blight or areas of non-
conformity, either of which is
a requirement before proper-
ty can be acquired by urban
renewal.
Tiemann said the area in
question contains homes wi-
thin a totally commercial
area, thus making it non-con-
forming.

Through Madora (Cole)
McCrocklin’s inheritance
from her father, and her great
interest in the graveyard that
lay on her property, the Inde-
pendence Cem etery preserves
much of the county’s records
of outstanding ability and lea-
dership in development of the
Republic Of Texas.
Mrs. McCrocklin’s son, the
late “Cole” McCrocklin and
his wife, Gertie (Berry) Mc-
Crocklin, lived for years in
their home near the Baylor
columns, on the exact founda-
tion of General and Mrs. Sam -
Houston’s original home. And
. their descendants continue to
occupy the home today, and
will be present at the dedica-
tion.
It is an established fact that
more than 350 graves in the
cemetery no longer carry hea-

stone markers to prevent fur-

spokesmen pointed out.
The systems approach ana-
lysis was done by the archi-
tectural school at Texas A& M
University and International
Building Systems Inc., Dallas.
IBS has reportedly been wo-
rking on the systems approach
being used here since 1969,
and MHMR officials made it
clear the “systems” method
would be used totally in future
construction.
James Finch, project con-
struction inspector for the de-
partment of mental health and
mental retardation, will be
moving to Brenham very soon,
and he will be responsible to
see that construction of the
“systems” method is com-
pleted according to specifica-
tions.
Following very quickly with
the opening bids for site pre-
paration work on May 28 will
come the construction of the
initial group of buildings. This
will include an administration
building, a recreation and ed-
ucation building, food service
building, infirmary, plus a
ward building for 128 resi-
dents.
Next in line will be the
construction of three more
ward buildings, each with a
capacity of 128 residents.
Plans call for the comple-
tion of the first group of buil-
dings by early fall of 1972.

He added there had been

they should have areport rea-

“In every instance that ur-

we have paid more than an eq-

In conclusion, he said if
