FROM THE EXCHANGES
Is it legal for a city of (he
size of Goliad to employ a city
administrator? That is the
question being raised by a suit
filed by a citizen of Refugio
against that city.
The suit asks that the City
Council of Refugio be required
to void an ordinance that
created the post of city ad-
ministrator and contends that
state statues require a public
election to approve the cre-
ation of the office. Benson
Wells says that if Goliad and
Refugio are in the same
population bracket, a court
decision declaring that an
election is required could
affect Goliad.

After a lengthy executive
meeting that stretched over
two days, city council moved
unanimously Monday for what
amounted to a vote of con-
fidence for fellow councilman
G.K. "King" Sharp and police
Sgt. Robin Taylor.
The official council state-
ment reads: "The Victoria
Advocate published a state-
ment from testimony given by
Sgt. Robin Taylor of the El
Campo Police Department.
The statement in the Victoria
Advocate indicated that Sgt.
Taylor had heard that Council-
man King Sharp and Dean
Rash dealt in dope. The city
council, the Chielf of Police
W.W. Broadus, and police Lt.
Jim Hoffman have thoroughly
investigated the hearsay on
which the statement was bas-
ed. The council and police
department have unanimously
concluded that these rumors,
or hearsay, have no substance
and as such, are merely
rumors.”

You could have heard a pin
drop in that moment of silence
that followed County Judge
Sam Seale's announcement
that Jackson County is under
FBI investigation at Jackson
County Commissioners Court
Tuesday morning.
Judge Seale went on to
explain that the county is one
of 15 South Texas counties
being investigated. The jud-
ge’s announcement was not
welcome news nor was the
citation entitled Walter Kuhl-
man et al vs. the County of
Jackson. The citation stems
from an alleged violation
claimed by the plaintiff in-
volving court precedings in a
1975 jury trial pertaining to the
opening of a road consisting of
4.328 acres of land in the SCA
Rogers League. The plaintiff's
claim the county violated
stipulations in the Judgement
when a gate was removed on a
road in question by the county
tfpon a motion made at a
session of Commissioners
Court in April of 1977.
The citation calls the act of
removing the gate a "defiance
act" and as a result, plaintiff’s
are asking for exemplary
damages in the sum of
$10,000.
