Denison's Mayor Calls for Action On Highways
City Denies Rate
Increase Asked By
Phone
The following letter to the Bell
Telephone company district mana-
ger dated Wednesday the 11th
temporarily denies the prayer of
the company for an increase in
rates at this time. The letter fol-
lows:
February 11, 1948.
Mr. John Washmon, District Mgr.
S.W. Hell Telephone Company,
Dear Mr. Washmon:
The Cty Coiuncil has investigat-
ed as thoroughly as it could the
problem concerning Southwestern
Bell’s request for a rate increase
in Denison.
The Council has not found suf-
ficient evidence that would justify
the granting of the increase at
this time. However, the Council
has not closed its thinking on this
problem and will upon its own
initiative at a later time go furth-
er into it.
Until such time it is the opinion
of the Council that the telephone
rates arc to remain the same.
Yours very truly,
W. E. Marsico.

Billion Dollar St.

The following address was made
recently befort the U. S. senate
by the Texas Senator W. Lee O’-
Daniel against the proposition to
spend one billion dollars to open
the St. Lawrence waterway which
was delivered Feb. 3, of this year:
Mr. President, 1 am opposed to
the St. Lawrence Waterway pro-
ject. 1 am opposed to this fantas-
tic idea of spending around a bil-
lion dollars of the overburdened
taxpayers’ money to build another
transportation system partly on
foreign soil. The stench of two

jects has not yet assumed an “at-

The meeting was entirely frank
and the discussions enlightening
and while no definite answer at
the time was forthcoming, Mayor
W. E. Marsico indicated to Mr.
Washmon that the situation will
spare, thus causing prices of food
products to our American consum-
ers to soar to unprecedented
heights. So, why squander more
millions to build more unneces-
sary transportation systems?
In the second place, if we just
must squander or get rid of these
hundreds of millions of dollars,
which some people apparently
think are burning holes in the
pockets of Uncle Sam’s 260 bil-
lion dollar “deficit pants,” then
why not dredge out some rivers

By the same token, if we are not

clared the mayor.
Mr. Washmon pointed out that
Denison stood on its own feet as
to expenses in salaries, mainten-
ance, improvements and other
sources of cost in keeping the

one doing anything much about it.

Waples Church Will

A committee was named this
week by officers of Waples Me-
morial church to sell their old
parsonage and either erect or pur-
chase a suitable home already con-

pastors of the church for the past
forty years or so.

miles of sea-coast on the

the Pacific side and 2,908 miles
on the Gulf coast, it appears to
me that we have enough sea-coast
of our own so that we need not
spend hundreds of millions of dol-
lars to provide facilities to use
the sea coast of some foreign na-
tion for our exports and imports.
I realize that under this strange
bipartisan New Deal arrangement,
it seems out of order for any pub-
lic servant not under its spell to
suggest doing something beneficial
for the people of our own nation;
but assuming it is still permissible,
I suggest that instead of fixing up
export facilities on foreign soil
cr which are subject to control by
foreign nations, we could better
improve the transportation system
