Maple, only woman candidate so
far in Bellaire’s July 9 elec-
tion, is seeking re-election to
Position Four.
“I am proud to have served
on the Bellaire City Council for
the past two years and to have
been a part of the progress our
city has made during that
period,” Mrs. Randolph said in
a statement issued this week.
Mrs. Randolph said she be-
lieves in keeping Bellaire an in-
dependent city and continuing
the council-manager form of
government it has.
“I am for economy in govern-
ment and a continuation of the.
high standard of service Bellaire
gives its citizens,” she said, ‘‘It’s

standing, as are the other de-

Recreation Program
“I have always advocated and
worked for a well rounded rec-
reational program to accommo-
date more and more Bellaire
children,” says Mrs. Randolph.
“When I went on the Recreation
Reeves Says He'll Fight
For Municipal Autonomy
Costly double taxation to
which municipal taxpayers are
subjected for duplicate services
adds to the taxpayers already
heavy burden. Clearer deline-
ation of city and county re-
sponsibilities and elimination of
all unnecessary duplication of
services and expenses must be
effected. As county commis-
sioner 1 will fight to reduce the

Civic Affairs
Mrs. Randolph has been ac-
tive in civic affairs for the seven
years she has lived in Bellaire,
and has pressed for the beauti-
fication of all the city parks and
grounds. She has supported the
project to move the garbage
trucks out of the city to the
landfill.
A graduate of North Texas
State College at Denton, she has
been married for 21 years to

taxpayers’ money—alL these are

although county responsibilities
have been greatly cut, county
expenditures have mushroomed,
up 60 per cent since 1955.

is capable, we must be sure not
to create or perpetuate a tax

to areas where sensible tax rates
provide funds which are wisely
spent to achieve maximum re-

County will benefit from the
prosperity resulting from a hos-

Taxpayers in Houston, Pasa-

County municipalities are being
short changed by the county.
This must be rectified. All mu-

As a Houston city councilman
I protested the county’s indefen-
sible attitude which held that
the county was obligated to take
care' of all the needy sick in
Harris County except those who
lived in Houston. Fair-minded
people will agree that the county
has equal responsibility to care
for the indigent sick in all parts
of the county. To do otherwise
is the rankest discrimination
against the taxpayers who pay
the biggest part of county taxes.
Traditionally, care of the indi-
gent sick is a county function.
As a-county commissioner I shall
press for- county operation and
financing of the charity hospital.
