Paving Project
Moving Along
Tax Bill
Work progressing nicely in the
N. Esplanade curb to curb pav-
ing program thpt will culmi-
nate in the topping of approxi-
mately four blocks from Bailey
street to the city limits'on the
Cuero-Yoakum highway.
At the moment, business es-
tablishments along this section
a e inconvenienced, but the fi-
nished project will materially
enhance the value of such pro-
licrties and add greatly to the
looks of (his important entrance
to the city.
Don't know how long the pro-
gram will take, but a fairly size-
ible crew is at work at the pre-
sent time and if they retain
his number of workmen the
a:k should be completed in
ihort order.
Incidentally, like most high-
way construction jobs, there are
flagmen to slow down and dir-
ect traffic in the building area.
Today's Texas Highway Depart-
ment flagmen wear a brightly-
toloned vest in addition to hav-
ing a flag to slow down or halt
traffic.
The last paragraph reminded
us of the time we were stop-
|icd some twelve years ago by
mch a state employee in north
Texas. Nature of the work un-
derway, plus the terrain in that
particular area required motor-
ists to come to a complete stop
at which time the flagman
would explain the situation.
But, on this particular occas-
ion we first asked him: “What
does the flag mean?”. The you-
ng fellow's reply was: “I don’t
know what it means to you.
Tut it means $3.75 per day to
me.
Such reply was followed by a
big £rin that conveyed lo us
that he was not a smart alec,
but that he was trying to spread
a little humor in a topsy-tur-
\y world.

On Death Of Dog
More about the 'death of a
dog’ incident, about which some
space in this column has been
devoted the past several days.

Wednesday, this writer rece-
i\cil a letter dated July 25th.
AUSTIN UPI - A hostile Sen-
ate committee plans to wrap up
testimony today on the House’s
version of a 2 per cent sales
tax as a move gains steam in
the lower chamber to economize
rather than pass more tax lev-
ies to pay state bills.
Sen. Wardlow Lane, chairman
of die Senate committee, has in-
dicated that his group will sub-j
stitute its own sales tax bill forj
the one written in the House, pro-'
bably late this week.
He said it will be similar to
the one recommended in the re-
gular session and killed by the
House in the final minutes.
The House bill applies to items
costing more than $5, while the
Senate proposal would tax items
of 25 cents and up.
Sen. Bruce Reagan of Corpus
Christ! soundly criticized tlie $5
deductible feature of the House
bill.
“It is indecent.” Reagan said.
Challenges Legislature
Rep. Charles Ballman of Bor-
ger, meanwhile, said he thinks
the House has already passed
enough tax bills. He challenged
the legislature to “show the peo-
ple of Texas we can come up
with more money without raising
taxes.”
‘‘Let's get with it and econo-
mize," Ballman said. He outlin-
ed three measures he introduced
Wednesday he estimated would
save Texas $97 million in new
taxes the next two years. He
called them “good sound econ-
omy measures.”
PAVING PSWS5CT — A joint project of the City of
Cnero and DeWitt county, pitas a small amount of money
spent by the local school district, have given Daole School
paved parking facilities and a paved street leading to the
school.
The street leading from Bridge St. to the school was
paved by the county and city. The school district paid
for materials used in paving parking areas on two sides of
the school. ((Record Photo)
Care Of Cemetery Lots
Urged By Association
An official of Hillside Ceme-
tery Association Thursday made
a plea that lots in the ceme-
tery that are not under annual
or perpetual care be cleaned by
the owners as soon as possible.
“Die appearance of certain
lots has become disgraceful sim-
ply because owners will not ha-
ve them cleaned," the official
said.
Persons who refuse to have
their lots cleaned were urged
to have them put in annual or
perpetual care as soon as possi-
ble.
All lots, including those not
in care, were cleaned prior to
Decoration Day in April, but this
can not be done regularly simp-
ly because the association does
not have the necessary money.
GBRA BOARD
HEARS REPORT
the official said.
“Besides,” the official stated,
“by cleaning lots that are not
in care, the association is actual-
ly being unfair to persons who
think enough of the departed
loved ones to pay to have their
property cleaned regularly.
“The cemetery association has
been blamed on numerous oc-
casions for unclean lots when
it was not even the associa-
tions’s obligation to clean them,
On some of this property the
lots are moving in grass.
“Hie property that is not in
perpetual or annual care is help-
ing give the entire cemetery an
untidy look.
“Many of the lots that are go-
ing unkept are owned by local
persons who could well afford
to have the property cleaned.
It is hoped these persons will
either have the lots cleaned on
their own or have the property
put in annual or perpetual
care,” the official concluded.

’ react with interest your re-
tort on the 'incident' of the dog
that was hit and killed.
I am the mother of 3 children
and have had 3 pet dogs at in-
tervals. All of which were killed
hy motorists, none stopping to
render rid. There is one dif-
ference to our story. Our child-
ren were taught if their dog
was permitted in the street
they could expect it to lie hit
or killed. When that eventually
happened they also were taught
that it was an "accident."
That the driver did not intent-
ionally try to hit or kill the dog.
In your report you make the
driver sound like some sort
of monster who enjoys, and goes
ojt of his way to kill a dog.

verse in the Gospel of St. John.

It is further stated in the re-
port that: “Supplying a part of

from the Guadalupe River Basin
may be possible within a coo-

nition that the Guadalupe Riv-

General
Declares
36th Ready
NORTH FORT HOOD UPI~
Maj. Gen. Carl L. Phinney,
commanding general of Texas'
36th National Guard Division,
has no doubts about his men.
Phinney. an attorney from Dal-
las in civilian life, said the of-
ficers and men under his com-
mand are ready now to make
a defensive stand in Berlin if!
necessary. j
He said that the division prob-
ably would nee a minimum of
eight weeks to train in an em-
ergency, but it could make
some sort of a defensive stand
today.
It is presently at 66 per cent
of combat strength .of 13,748
men.
The troops are not looking for-
ward to a year of active duty,
but they are resigned to it if it
comes. That is the temper of the
troops judging, from conversa-
tions with members of the divi-
sion from the private in the fieM
through the combi ending gener-
al.
Despite the fact that the divi-
sion's members came >o sum-
mer maneuvers expecting pos-
sible protracted active duty, mo-
rale is as good as it was in ye-
an of less ten'ion and may be
even better-. .
Lt. Col. Paul E- Casseb of
San Antonio, division judge ad-
vocate, said 97.8 per cent at-
tendance at maneuvers indi-
cates that morale is high. He
said only three of more than
9,000 men are absent without
leave.
