I criti
v Not a single sound reason for the closing of
South Third Street has been advanced except that
Sherman and Tom Worthey want it for business
_ ansion. That, by any standard, is inadequate
criteria for shutting off a portion of a busy thor-
oughfare that now carries traffic at the rate of
2025 cars per day ... an average of one vehicle
every 43 seconds night and day!
Multiplied by 365 days in the year that
amounts to 740,900 cars, nearly three-quarters
of a million! Where would they go? They
would be forced over an already heavily trav-
eled portion of Durdin Drive where two 90-de-
gree turns are inevitable, or they would be
obliged to use North Fifth Street, the only
other artery that crosses the Santa Fe tracks
and goes through Silsbee. If they take Fifth
Street nearly all would travel in front of Siis-
bee Junior High School creating an additional
hazard to many of the 750 pupils who attend
that institution every school day, and to mem-
bers of four churches on Sundays.
The traffic count of 2025 cars was made
from 10 a. m. on Monday, Aug. 9, to 10 a. m.
Tuesday, Aug. 10, on the specific portion of
South Third Street that the City Council voted
to close. City Manager Wayne DuBosc request-
ed that the traffic count he made by the Texas
Highway Department and said that no one was
notified that the counter was being installed.
Just imagine how high the count might have
been on a busy weekend when hundreds of ad-
ditional vehicles come through Silsbee enroute
to Dam B. Two thousand and twenty-five cars
pear day is relatively heavy traffic. When the
Texas Highway Department rebuilds a road if
the count has reached 1000 cars per day the
pavement is widened to 42 feet like Highway 92
north of Silsbee, and for a count of only 100 cars
per day they will build Farm-To-Market High-
ways.
From a safety standpoint the additional traffic
that would have to enter or leave Durdin Drive at
Highway 96 could be a real problem. There have
been four reported accidents at that crossing al-
ready this year, a check of city records reveals, and
no reported accidents from traffic entering or leav-
ing Highway 96 at the Third Street exit. There has
been talk of a traffic actuated signal light at Dur-
din Drive and Highway 96 but this would entail
an estimated expense to taxpayers of $20,000.00
or more and it is highly improbable that the Texas
Highway Department would permit a stop light
on a through highway at such a high speed entry
zone. A light might cause more traffic congestion
than traffic flow.
In exchange for closing Third Street behind
their businesses the Worthey brothers have offered
to give the City the right-of-way for the exten-
sion of Durdin Drive to the railroad crossing on
Knupple Road and to pay 55*#, or a maximum of
$6500.00, toward DuBose’s estimated $11,900X10 cost
of the culvert and the road.
From all of the information we can gather the
$11,900.00 cost is probably on the low side, and at
least some of the specifications are considered sub-
standard for road building in the area. It is our un-
derstanding that no labor costs or road building ma-
chinery costs were included in the figure as it was
anticipated that City crews and equipment would
be used. The taxpayers still pay for this whether
the estimated figure shows it or pot. In addition, as-
phalt-coated galvanized iron culverts were planned
for the drainage ditch that must be crossed with the
proposed road, and not reinforced concrete, which
is considered standard. Some who know road build-
ing in the Silsbee area simply shake their heads at
the possible false economy of using galvanized iron
culverts because an extensive analysis of most Har-
din County soil shows the pH factor to be on the
acid side, and acid tends to eat away at iron. There
is also a general high electrolysis possibility in the
damp soils of the area, another enemy of iron if
such a reaction sets up. Any Corrosive liquids in the
drainage ditch could also hasten destruction. These
are possibilities, the culverts sometimes last for
many years, but why take a chance?

Editor
Silsbee Bee
Silsbee, Texas
Dear Editor:
Most everything has at least
two sides and I would like to
give some of my opinions to the
public before the election next
Saturday. I feel that the ques
tion that is before the voters
is a critical one. It extends be-
yond one issue and becomes
more urgent in its implications
in regards to the confidence
that the people of Silsbee give
to the Planning Commission
and the City Council, itself.
Some things that have been
said have been confusing to
some people; although, most
of the facts stated are true. I
hope I can give some additional
facts that will help to explain
the issue to the public,
I feel rumors excited by mis-
understandings, private desires,
and personal feelings have led
to a situation where a practical
decision is hard to make. Some
facts have remained unsaid
and it is my wish that they be
brought into light in order for
the public to comprehend the
truth of the issue.
This is my fourth term as
city councilman and I would
rather serve my community in
this way than any other; but, I
know I am no politician. I be-
lieve that successful politicians
rarely feel they can afford the
Sept. 13, 1965 ing Highway 96 until we are
able to rebuild Third Street
and install a curb and gutter
system. Much of the land used
along Third Street is residential
and will be for several more
years. This will give us time to
design and finance Third Street
with new developments in taxes
from increased growth and
new industry. The present busi-
ness area at the south end of
Third Street will be helped by
the better access of traffic from
the area west of Highway 96
and the more convenient and
wider bridge.
Much of the objections to this
proposal come from the feeling
that it will help an individual
more than it does the city. My
feeling is that the city benefits
more. I do not believe helping
an individual should be a rea-
son for not adopting a proposal
which helps the whole popula-
tion more. If this proposal is
not adopted now it will be im
possible to ever develop this
area in the same or any similar
way considering the assets of
cfl—this was not the reason re-
vealed In the news releases and
I am sure that there were oth-
er reasons but lack of confi-
dence was the main reason.
There are many problems
(Which will face our Planning
Commission in the near future
and all of them will call for
much study but also a definite
quick answer. One of these
problems is railroad crossing—
should we have another one and
how can our streets adapt to a
condition of many new high-
ways and how can we control
the Increased traffic through
town—the highway department
has asked the City Council
three times in the last 10 years
to discontinue all parking on
Highway 96 through Silsbee.
How can we continue to in-
crease our off street parking?
Will Silsbee ever have a master
street plan? Will we ever have
a master Drainage Plan? This
is a time when we need the
confidence of every citizen of
Silsbee to face these problems
and have the courage to take
action because delay only
means expense in higher taxes
later.
Watts road will be closed as
far as traffic crossing the new
highway 327 is concerned in the
future. This may be 10 years or
20 years but we must consider
these distant plans in formula-
ting our present plans of road
design. The people of the
Woodlea Area were promised
that they would be considered
in receiving and maintaining
an adequate and better outlet
from this area. With Watts
t oad closed we must realize the
detremental effect upon the in-
let and outlet to this area. This,
Did You Kill My
(Editor’s Note: The following
letter was turned over to your
editor earlier this week after
the untimely death of a dog,
who was a trusted and loved
member of a household.
Many of us human species
have been stripped of the love
and' companionship from our
dogs, or other pets, through the
“careless” or “thoughtless” acts
of other humans.
This letter, seems to mirror
our thoughts and emotions
when we first realize that one
of our fellows could hurt, or
kill, an animal which has giv-
en someone so much pleasure.
the City of Silsbee. I have I feel, is another reason we
heard many rumors about the
present bridge being done
away with and have tried to
find how and where they start-
ed. The first petition was bas-
ed on the idea that the bridge
would be done away with.

commission and City Council.
Until the underpass is built we
will have a crossing of High-
way 327 extension at Watts
Road, with traffic lights and a
traffic interchange design. But
was very much against that with completion of the under-
idea. I found that the Planning pass there will be no crossing
Interested pupils are asked truth to the people. I must be
independent. I believe the pub-
lic, instead of only a few, takes
much longer to inform. This
must be done without fear of
political reprisal.
Our city is changing fast and
w? must take into considera-
tion previous mistakes and not
repeat them. The movement of
opinion is too often slower than
the movement of events. For
this reason we must base our
opinion on the facts, not only
for the present but, also, for the
future. The tendency to say no
to a change, of course, sets up a
compulsion to make mistakes.
Commission had never advanc-
ed the idea of doing away with
any bridge and I knew that the
City Council never discussed or
proposed this idea.
Our City charter states that
we are to have a “City Plan-
ning Commission” and that it
will be composed of six mem-
bers who serve without com-
pensation. Its duties include
the power to and it shall be re-
quired to: (1) make, amend,

plan for the physical develop-
ment of the city; (2) draft, and
recommend to the City Coun-
cil an official map of the City
and recommend” or disapprove
and only an entrance and out-
let to get on the 327 extension.
In closing I would like to
state that I have no hard feel-
ings toward any one but I hope
that the people of Silsbee real-
ize the seriousness of our pres-
ent day problms and consider
the implications of these prob-
lems to the problems of the fu-
ture. I urge you to vote for the
proposition.

In the Council meeting when
a hearing was held on the ques-
tion of the road change, one
person stated that this change
was being “railroaded” or not
discussed with proper time or
fact, the Planning
Commission had studied the
question for more than a
month and one petition was
brought to the Council more
than a month before the Plan
ning Commission’s recommen-
dation was presented to the
Council. This petition was not
presented because the recom-
mendation of the Planning
Commission was not finished
and presented. I don’t think
that the charge that this action
was rushed can be true if we
consider the facts. The City
at Council considered this ques-
tion for one month and accept-
ed the recommendation of the

rfmall part and opening to 60

Head riche may well be hu-
manity’s number one malady.
It masquerades under many
names—sick headache, coffee

lergy headache, fever headache
and Sunday headache—to name
a few.
But what really happens when
your head hurts? A common
misconception is that the brain
hurts when you have a head-
ache. But the brain itself —
while marvelously sensitive in
some ways—is an unfeeling
mass of gray tissue. You can
probe, cut, burn, or smash this
tissue without its hurting.
Other structures of the head,
however, are extremely sensi-
tive to pain, including the scalp,

CARD OF THANKS
Our humble thanks and
heartfelt appreciation to the
many friends and neighbors

recent time of sorrow, the loss

do we appreciate the many
helpful acts of the members of
Woodrow Baptist Church.

traffic count on all roads in this
area. There is at present a 10,-
000 weight limit on the bridge
in the existing road. This limit
was not put on because of the
bridge condition, but because
the foundation of Third Street
is not strong enough to sup-
port heavy continued truck
type traffic. When the present
Highway 86 South was under
construction, this road was
14 used and it has never been
completely repaired even
though the northern two blocks
have been redone two or three
times in the last 10 years,
have been told that we will
never be able to maintain this
road for heavy truck type traf-
fic until we have better drain
age and a better road founda
tion. This would cost much
more than the proposed change.
1 feel that this road (Third
Street) will someday be a ma-
jor North-South route, but we
need to direct all traffic of the
heavy truck type to the exist

against. The one councilman
absent had indicated that he
supported the Planning Com-
mission. This indicated a vote
of four for and two against. If
we consider that one member brain coverings,

voted for any transfer of city
property, I must believe that
we must agree that this vote
was very favorable and as

Some of the processes caus-
ing headache include: swelling
of arteries within the head; a

tation of the head’s pain-sensi-
tive structures; prolonged con-
recommendation as was usual traction of neck muscles, a pain
pressed their feelings and the entire issue would
not have reached its present controversial and
sometimes bitter state. /
While it is probable that dosing Third
Street would be of benefit to two major busi-
ness concerns the question arises, do they need
that kind of assistance from the taxpayers?
And before you mark your ballot Saturday a
point to consider is, how many small business
people who depend upon Third Street and its
traffic flow would be harmed by closing it?
Some of these firms could well be dealt a blow
that would force them out of business.
The street-closing issue comes to a vote of the
citizens of Silsbee this Saturday, Sept, 18. We
hope it is a big vote and that every citizen, pro and
his right at the polls. Another hope
voters resolve to accept the decision with
race so that citizens can return to the task
building a better “
Si
for our City Council.
Another objection to the pro-
posal is the fact that the City
Council has turned down two
proposals from two churches in
Silsbee to close streets adjoin
ing these churches. I was on
the council during the time that
these proposals were placed
before the council and I feel
that these two proposals were
different and were under dif-
ferent conditions. The biggest
difference was the type of traf-
fic and the road condition of
both the streets envolved and
the joining streets. The bene-
fit would only have been local
and there were objections from
people living on each side of
the proposed closed street.
There were not any objections
on the South end of the pro-
posed rerouted street as of the
time the Planning Commission
made its recommendation to
of Third Street which will be

emotional disorder.
Headaches can be important
since they may be the warning
sign of a serious condition,
which possibly could be con-
trolled if detected early. They
can indicate glaucoma, fever,
high blood pressure, anemia,
central nervous system injury
or infection, epilepsy and tum-
ors of the brain and head.
They can also warn of intoxi-
cation by such poisons as car-
bon monoxide gas. Or, a head
ache can indicate sensitivity to
certain solvents, the elements
in some liquors, to antihista-
mines or to noise
Excessive use of sedatives,
even those used for treatment
of headache, can be dangerous
and possibly cause a headache.

painkillers than your doctor or-

DID YOU KILL MY LITTLE
GIRL’S DOG
I have lived on Roosevelt
Drive Extension for only a
short time — a little over two
months. Some motorists seem
to think this street is a race
track. I have seen cars going
at least 60-65 mph passing in
front of my house.
I have cautioned my children
and scolded my dogs about the
dangers of the street. Our 1*4
year old German Shepherd and
one-year old Beagle were nice
friendly dogs. Duchess, our
Shepherd and Sneezer, our
Beagle, had only one enemy
that I know of—this person
has a couple of dogs of his own
that practically lived in our
yard the first two or three
weeks we lived in Silsbee. We
didn’t mind his dogs, and ha
didn’t seem overly concerned
either, but after we moved our
dogs down from Wcao the
scene changed. We did not tie
our dogs up—they visited his
dogs often. He chased them,
hollered at them and threw
things at them and at least up-
on one occasion hitting one and
injuring it. To keep peace in
the neighborhood, we tried not
to say anything, but we still
did not tie our dogs—I wish
now we had.
Our dogs both had all their
shots and liked to play with the
neighborhood children — they,
liked to play together and
sometimes get into mischief.
The neighborhood children
would come by, either walking
or riding their bikes, would
call to the dogs, especially
Duchess. She would tag along

Martin M. Ricker, state con

present at the meeting and pre-
sented highlights of the pro-
gram planned for the annual

ter Hotel in San Antonio, Oct.
22-24. Mrs. Lola Bryan and
Mrs. John Teal will represent
the local Society at this meet-
ing.

Mrs. Stuart Smith of Silsbee is and maybe even go home with
them and play a while, but she
would always come back home.
Duchess liked to follow us
down to the intersection where
Roosevelt Drive Extension be-
gan, then she would give up
the chase and go back home
or play along the way with the
children.
Duchess won’t bother the
irate neighbor anymore—play
with Sneezer again—she won’t
follow us anymore, or play
with my wife and I, or my four
year old girl or eight year old
boy. Thursday morning. Sept. 9,
during the few minutes my
wife was gone to take me to my
office, sOfneone ran Duchess
down. My wife found her near
the intersection where she al-
ways followed us. You say,
‘Duchess was probably in the
road.” Yes, she probably was,
but I don't know, because this
driver, man or woman did not
even bother to stop.
At this time I want to
make one point perfectly clear
I am not the type of person
who thinks as much of a dog
as I do of children, but I would
not own any living thing for
which I could not have compas-
sion.
When my wife found our
Duchess, she was still breath-
ing—she had our little girl with
us and was very shaken by the
sight. Luckily, the Rev. P. A.
Dubose stopped and placed
Duchess in our car. My wife
came back to my office and to-
gether we rushed her to the
veterinarian—he evidently was
out on a call, but no matter for
Duchess no longer had a heart
beat.
In checking with the neigh*
bors near the scene of the ac-
cident, nothing was heard—no
tires skidded—no one stopped.
Was this man or woman
speeding,” “thought -
less,” “careless,” “reckless,”
“unconcerned”—maybe a com-
bination of all.
The big point is this, I just
have to wonder about a person
of this type—should this driver
have stopped had it been a child
instead of “just a dog.” It could
have been a child, you know.
