paring the amount of Federal
assistance going to Hardin
County in the form of grants-
in-aid with the price it pays
for the aid, is the local area
ahead of the game or behind?
Of the $23.5 billion distribu-
ted to communities throughout
the country- in the past fiscal
year, how much was allocated
for local needs and at what
cost?
It shows how the $23.5 billion lunches, streets and highwa
was apportioned and, in each school construction, educat
instance, what the cost was.
Communities in 30 states pro
fited by the exchange, getting
back more than they put in.
For the others, the price paid
was greater than the amount of
aid received.
A breakdown of the state
figures, which are based upon
Treasury Department reports,
indicates that Ihe cost of Fed-
eral aid in Hardin County came
to approximately $3,056,000 in
the year. The amount that was
returned through grants, is es

ing ordinance had been impro-
perly adopted, that notice of
meetings had not been properly
published, and that copies of
the proposed ordinance had not
been available for public exam-
ination. Jones identified public
hearing notices on the ordi-
nance which appeared in The
Silsbee Bee for hearings on
March 12 and April 2, while
Hickerson testified that work
copies of the proposed ordi-
nance had been available to the
public at City Hall since Cald-
well and Associates made their
first zoning recommendation.
He said that copies could not
be taken from City Hall, but
that they could be studied in
the Council chamber.
Mayor Claude Coward also
testified that the Herrons had
been placed on the Council
agenda for the Feb. 23 meeting
for the purpose of discussing a
proposed mobile home park.
He stated that the Herrons did
not appear at the meeting and
that he had been served with
papers in the present suit ear-
lier that day. Also, the Mayor
said that the Council had been
presented a petition from a
group of citizens, primarily
from the Woodlea subdivision
adjacent to Herron’s tract
which requested that Council
implement zoning quickly.
The mayor also said that the
Council had taken steps to
bring the zoning ordinance to
a vote before the petition or
the suit was filed, and added
that it was his opinion that the
vote on the ordinance would
have come up whether or not
the suit or petition had beer
presented.
Before hearing the legal ar-
guments in the case, Judge Coe
upheld his original ruling and
would have to abide by the
law. “So that’s my opinion
now,” he said. “Unless you
lawyers can change my mind.”
Then the legal arguments be-
gan, with the Judge apparently
becoming convinced that the
Herron’s right to hold a non-
conforming use might allow
the numerical expansion of that
use.
That question—does illegal
expansion of a non-conforming
use in this case concern t h e
number of trailers Herron can
place on his property or a
change in thr character of his
use—will be the subject of de-
bate in 88th District Court to-

That amount will then he invested
