Meet With Farmers Branch
Mayor A. J. Airoldi, members of
the city council, the city manager,
attorney and engineer of thc City
of Farmers Branch met with the
council to discuss future construc-
tion of a sewage detention basin to
serve the two cities in the Trinity
River Authority sewage disposal
system.
Prior studies had revealed that
the capacity of the reservoir could
be enlarged in the initial con-
struction, providing capacity for
the immediate use of Carrollton
and future capacity for Farmers
Branch but at a lesser cost than
the same facility constructed in
two phases.
Farmers Branch requested that
in conjunction with the agreement
for the sewage facility that con-
sideration be given to adjustment
of the boundaries between the two
cities which generally provided for
Carrollton to release that property
lying south of the projected ex-
tension of Valwood Parkway, west
of Interstate 35-E.
Carrollton councilmen agreed to
proceed with plans to construct
jthe capacity in the detention res-
jervoir as needed by the City of
j Carrollton, but extending the op-
tion to the City of Farmers Branch
to include space within the facil-
ity, as previously discussed, with
adjustment of the boundaries be-
ing considered at a later date.
OTHER ACTION
In other action, the Council:
—A request to make Cox Street
a one-way street adjacent to Cen-
tral Elementary School was con-
sidered, but in lieu thereof, the
j council agreed to prohibit left
turns on Cox, and on Perry at the
[ entrances to the school which was
considered to be as effective as
the one-way street proposal. Mrs.
I Patrick, safety director for the
I school, was present for the dis-
cussion:

PIONEER DAYS
FETE PLANNED IN
FARMERS BRANCH
Farmers Branch will be celebrat-
ing its 125th birthday as a commun-
ity this Thursday, Friday and Sat-
urday. Dating back to the days of
the Peters Colony (1842), the city
will bo staging numerous events,
including a mammoth parade din-
ing the festivities.
The history of the city contains
many firsts for Dallas County.
Among them are the first school,
first post office, first cotton and
wheat, crops, and the first cotton
gin and blacksmith shop from a
period 1842-1849.
In 1842 immigrants from several
eastern states settled along a stream
in the Peters’ Colony headquarters
vicinity called Mustang Branch. But
because the first wheat, peaches,
livestock and chickens produced in
the Colony were raised along its
banks, the stream and settlement
became known as Farmers Branch.
The Colony’s first industries were
started here in 1846. This included
a corn (grist) mill, a cotton gin, a
tan yard, blacksmith shop, and a
saw mill run on water power.
Among the early settlers were
Thomas Keenan. Isaac B. Webb.
William M. Cochran and Harrison
Marsh. Another was John Neeley
Bryan, who settled some 15 miles
south of Farmers Branch and start-
ed what is today the City of Dal-
las.
The first store at Farmers Branch
was originally a log school house.
The first merchant was Jasper
Record, and the second, Henry C.
Daggett (of the Daggetts who as-
sisted in the founding of Ft. Worth).
The Valwood Elementary School
is located on the Robert Gentry
West Survey in Peters Colony on
now Rawhide Creek on which the
Wests settled in 1845. This was their
plantation on which they had a gen-
eral store and tan yard where their ------------ j—— -------- • n,,, .
