City Attempts To
Avert Rabies Here
Recently, newspaper
articles have informed
the public of an outbreak
/of rabies in Laredo.
\ There were 47
laboratory - confirmed
cases and 38 persons are
currently undergoing
rabies treatment.
This outbreak, to-
gether with the report of
a second rabid dog in the
Wentworth area of
Tarrant County, and the
subsequent quarantine
in Tarrant County, has
resulted in a request
from the Dallas County
Health Department that
all suburban cities co-
. operate with them in an
<■ effort to prevent such an
' epidemic in Dallas
County.
Under the new Small
Animal Ordinance which
was passed in Cedar Hill,
all small animals kept as
pets (such as dogs, cats,
racoons, etc.) which
have reached adulthood
(six months) must be
vaccinated and regis-
tered with the City.
If you have any
questions pertaining to
this ordinance or the
procedure to follow in
order to register your
pet, call City Hall at
> \ 291-4211.
During the coming
months, with concern for
the safety of children out
of school, this ordinance
will be strictly enforced.
In addition to having
your own pet vaccinated,
Cedar Hill Animal Con-
trol Department urges
each citizen to help in the
•following manner:
—1. If you plan to
dispose of pets, or new-
borns, please call the
Animal Warden—do not
i "dump" them in the out-
! Skirts.
" —2. In the interest of
1
m
:
IN REGIONAL MEET
your neighbors, chil-
dren, community and
your pet, do not allow
your pet to roam uncon-
trolled.
—3. Teach your
children to leave stray
animals alone...do not
try to catch or pet a
strange animal. Some-
times a rabid animal will
suddenly lose its fear of
humans and appear
friendly.
—4. In the event
someone in your family
is bitten by an animal,
contact the Police De-
partment at 291-7161;
obtain the best possible
identification and loca-
tion of the animal; and if
at all possible, obtain
assistance with
watching the animal
until it can be picked up
by the Animal Control
Warden. Under State
law, the animal must be
quarentined for 10 days
for observation.
In the last two weeks,
three animals have been
picked up in Cedar Hill
which were ill, showing
signs of rabies.
So far, the testing has
all been negative.
With everyone co:
operating, Cedar Hill
citizens can remain safe
from this danger.
Directories Are
Still Available
Bi-centennial direc-
tories are still available
from Traphene Hick-
man, chairperson of the
Cedar Hill Bicentennial
Commission, at City
Hall.
Individuals who have
not picked up their
copies are urged to do so
at this time.

By MARY SPICER
Cedar Hill City Council
adopted a master plan
for sewer development
in its meeting here Tues-
day night, April 26.
A lengthy discussion
preceeded the action,
which has been under
consideration for some
time.
All members of the
Council were present.
—Old business was
quickly concluded with
the tabling of the three
related items
concerning the property
being proposed for an-
nexation and
development by
Mason-Roman Develop-
ment Properties.
City Manager Quentin
Hix explained that since
an amendment had been
made to the plat at the
last meeting, the plat
will have to go back to
the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P&Z) for
its approval.
In addition, Jim
Mason announced the
company's intention to
ask for greater density
than the originally
proposed 1.44 acre per
lot because of
engineering costs.
—Alden Kimmey
came forward to request
of the City an investment
plan and proposed cash
flow schedule so that the
bond money the City has
banked with First Bank
& Trust Company can be
invested.
Hix informed the bank
representative that he
has a project schedule
and costs for same for
use of the funds in hand
and will meet with the
bank officials to work out
the investment schedule.
Motion was made and
seconded to direct Hix to
present this material to
the bank and work out
the details of the cash
flow schedule based on
the list of projects and
estimated costs
provided at an earlier
meeting.
—State Representa-
tive Fred Orr requested
to meet with City
officials and any
interested residents at 9
a.m. April 30 at the
Community Center for
"an informal coffee and
donut breakfast.
Chamber of
Commerce will sponsor
the event.
The occassion is to be
considered an official
City function.
—Lengthy discussion
evolved concerning
Rattlesnake Bridge on
Mount Lebanon Road.
It was considered
impractical to request
the County to provide
funds for restoration or
rebuilding the bridge
considering the cost.
The end resolution
passed by motion was to
petition the County
for funds for replacing
the bridge or building a
grade crossing in its
stead provided
permission can be
gained from the Santa
Fe Railroad.
A letter to the Railroad
will make such a request
in the form of telling it
that the City plans to
establish a grade
crossing.
—Motion passed to
request of the Texas
Department of High-
ways and Public Trans-
portation to install a
traffic light at the
Highway 67 Belt Line
Road intersection.
A second motion same
subject was made and
passed to update all per-
tinent traffic and
accident information to
be presented with the
letter.
—Robert Head re-
quested help of the City
to solve or at the least
help aleviate some of the
problems he and a few
neighbors are having
with rain mr.oiT.
It was determined that
the owner of the private
property from where the
water runs may be
disposed to help, the
owner being the
developer of Kingswood
and who also plans to
continue developing in
that area.
In the interim, Coun-
cilman George Walters
stated he will visit the
property and see what
can be done by grading
the property above on a
temporary basis.
—Motion passed to
provide approximately
$400 from the con-
tingency fund to pay for
the cost of installation of
poles and material to
wire the lights which
were donated by the
School District.
—Warren Carney
spoke in behalf of his
request to rezone appro-
ximately five acres from
R-l residential to indus-
trial for development of
a new site for his clothing
manufacture.
The area in question is
slated for estate zoning
and hence the P&Z
denial of the request.
It is to return to the
P&Z for a change from
R-l to special use.
Any action dropped
pending outcome of
resubmittal to P&Z.
—Made motion
approving the recom-
mendation of the P&Z to
accept a preliminary
plat submitted by
Matthew Walker for re-
division ci L,j>t 17 in the
River Oaks Addition.
Approved a variance
in zoning to permit
Robert Binz to build a
single dwelling on two
lots which he owns in
Kingswood Estates.
—Heard a request of
E. Burgamy and his
neighbors to aid in cor-
recting a conditon which
exists in bad weather
relative to Cedarview
Street.
It is presently
unpaved and in bad
weather is impassable.
Motion passed to
