A;t
To The Voters Of
Precinct No. I,
Hardin County
Hardin County is a Business comparable to that of a corporation
which has a capital of $56 million. You, the voters and tax-
payers are the stockholders in this corporation.
obligation is toward tne stocKnoiaers. n is annual, uapuooiurc
*7376 investors (voters) to render an opinion about the conduct
of corporate affairs in day to day transactions; therefore, the
very life of the corporation is almost totally dependent upon the
delegation of power to management. Hie management functions
of the corporation are exercised by a small group of executive
officers and the board of directors. The duty of the board of
directors is the determination of basic policies.
In comparing the structure of corporation management with the
structure of county management, the executive officers
are the county judge, county attorney, sheriff, district clerk,
county clerk, assessor and collector of taxes, county treasurer,
county superintendent of schools, and county commissioner of
each of the four county precincts. The board of directors is the
Commissioners Court which is composed of the county judge, as
presiding officer, and four commissioners, elected from
precincts.
In general, the Commissioners Court is the policy-determining
body for the county. Its most important powers are to establish
a courthouse and jail, appoint the county health officer and
numerous minor officials, fill vacancies in county offices, let
contracts in the name of the county, build and maintain county
roads and bridges, administer the county’aipublic welfare serv-
ices, determine the county tax rate *— within certain limits
direct payment of all accounts against the county, adopt the
budget, serve as a board of equalization for state and county tax
assessments, and to establish county hospitals and other public
works authorized by law.
For the past thirty-two years, you, the voters, have retained me
as a member of your Commissioners Court, and for this l am
grateful. During the past years I have continuously endeavored
to perform my duty in the Commissioners Court in a manner
which justifies your trust and confidence in me. All of my de-
cisions in voting on propositions brought before the court have
been ma'de after careful consideration as to whether or not you,
the voters, would benefit from such action. As the executive
officer of Precinct No. 1,1 have demanded and obtained a dol-
lar’s worth of value for each of your dollars spent on goods and
services. When you elected me your Commissioner thirty-two
years ago, there were only two state highways in Hardin Coun-
ty; These, were the old Highway No. 8 which ran from Voth
through Silsbee to Evadale, and Highway No. 69 which ran
from Voth through Kountze to the Tyler County line north.
There were no other black top'or paved roads in Hardin County
at that time.
At the present time we have approximately 7376 registered
voters in the county. Of these 7376 voters there are about 3459
voters ill Precinct No. 1, about 2383 voters in Precinct No. 2,
about 707 voters in Precinct No. 3, and about 741 voters in
Precinct No. 4. The tax money spent in the four precincts is,
by law, allocated equally. You will find that we have about as
many miles of black top and paved streets in Silsbee as there
are ip all the other towns in the county. The streets in Woodlea,
Britton-Cravens additions were not built with taxpayers money.
They were built by the developers of the additions. I did not do
all of this construction and improvements of rpads and streets
alone. You, the taxpayers, voted the bonds for this construction.
However, I was instrumental in* accomplishing the program be-
cause you wanted the improvements. The past thirty-two years
of my life have been dedicated to the construction and improve-
ment of our highways and roadjS in Precinct No. 1 and in the
county.
Under the present State Highway Construction Program coun-
ties are required to obtain the right-of-way for all new construc-
tion with the state paying half of the cost. Present plans of
the State Highway Department call for the expenditure of sev-
eral millions of dollars on new highway construction in Precinct
•No. 1 during the next few -years. For the past several months I
have been working on this program and would like very much
to finish the job as your Commissioner.
T have co-operated with all the churches,and schools in the pre-
cinct by assisting them with their problem of drainage. I have
furnished culverts and dirt for driveways when needed. All of
these expenditures are justified because they have benefited
you the taxpayers, by providing proper drainage for the roads
in the areas concerned.
I have a job to do and it will be impossible for me to see each
of you personally, so I am taking this method of asking you for
your vote and support for another term. I am very gratefbl for
the confidence you have placed in me for the past years. If re-
elected Iwill serve one and all as I have done in the past.
Sincerely yours,
Franks. Payne
