Board.
A Palacios delegation met with
the armory board recently to dis-
cuss the possibility of obtaining a
lease on the Hulen facilities and
received a favorable response from
the board.
Under the terms of the proposed
lease, the city would re-activate
the pumps and wells and maintain
the facilities and supply water to
the small troop activity that is
centered there occasionally.
General K. L. Berry, adjutant
general of the Teaxs National
Guard said he "saw no reason why
the city shouldn't have the fa-
cilities."
Mayor Petersen said the expand-
ing population in and around Pala-
cios, and the low reserve of the
city's present wells make it im-
perative that the city obtain more
water in the near 'future.
He has pointed out that storage
is getting to be a big problem here
and that the present water tank
leaves little reserve above ground.
The lease, if negotiated, would
require only a taken sum from the
city and maintenance of the facili-
ties.
Petersen said that if a rever-
sion clause should be included in
the lease contract, it would pro-
vide that the armory board reim-
burse the city for all money spent
on the project.
He points out that the city
would not have to re-habilitate the
sewage disposal facilities of the
camp until they are needed.

tral legs.

Storm Warning
System Set Up
Throughout Texas
Mrs. Adolphus Rioux is visiting
her father in Sherman, Texas.
Texas will meet the '56 tornado
season with one of the world s
most complete storm warning sys-
tems, and with a well-oiled dis-
aster relief organization.
Radar storm warning sets are
in operation in ^(5 of the state's
20 first-order weather bureaus.
All state highway patrolmen have
been carefully schooled in the
wily ways of the weather and are
keeping a sharp eye on the sky as
they patrol the state. _ t
A patrolman is credited with
sounding the first warning of the
awesome San Angelo storm of '53.
Texas "local severe weather
warning system," the 'first estab-
lished anywhere in the world, is
made up of sets operating around
the clock in Amarillo, iWichita
Falls, Fort Worth, Midland, Lub-
bock, Abilene, San Angelo, Waco,
Austin, Port Arthur, Galveston,
Houston, Corpus Christi, Victoria,
San Antonio, and Brownsville.
Only four of the state's first-
order wtather bureaus-^—El Paso,
Laredo, Del Rio, and Dallas, are
without warning networks.
All stations are connected by
teletype and radio. Any station
is able to instantly appraise all
other stations of a tornado travel-
in their direction. AVhen such a
warning is given, the weather
bureau in the storm's line of ap-
proach immediately notifies all
communities in the area.
The sets were offered to local
areas by the U. S. Government
from war surplus stock. Each one
was converted into a storm warn-
ing set at a cost of $10,000, borne
by the cities.
Louisiana and Oklahoma are
cooperating in the southwestern
warning network by operating lim-
ited networks of their own.
"We now have what we consider
one of the best local severe weath-
er warning services possible to
render at this time," said the U. S.
Weather Bureau's regional office
in Fort IWbrth.
