"Hopkins County has a
chance to save about $90,000,”
says Lowell Cable, who has
found a way to help install
bleachers in the Hopkins
County Livestock Arena and
Regional Civic Center Complex
at less than half-price.
“The county commissioners
don’t have the money on hand
to spend this much money,”
Cable said, “but it’s a train that
won’t come by but once. We can
put seats in the Livestock
Arena with private donations
instead of tax money.”
He said that the
Kamehameha School in Hawaii
purchased the bleachers about
three years ago at a cost of
$120,000.
“Those same bleachers will
cost $140,000 right now," Cable
said, “and we can buy them for
only $40,000 plus about $8,900 in
shipping costs. They’ve already
got them in shipping crates just
waiting for us.”
Cable, who served on the
original Civic Center Board
which was responsible for the
building of the complex, says
he has no official capacity with
the Civic Center any longer but
that John Thiesen, a salesman
with Hoover Brothers, found
out about the seating being
available and contacted him.
“I don’t really know how I got
into this, but it’s a tremendous
opportunity to add 3,000 seats
out in the Livestock Arena at a
.very low cost,” he said. “The
total cost is around $50,000 but
that’s less than half of what it
would cost new and about
$30,000 less than what they
would have cost if we had
bought them when we finished
building the complex.”
Cable said that the seating is
not identical but is similar to
that now installed in the
Sulphur Springs High School
Gymnasium.
He said the bleachers are
designed to fold up against the
wall by using an electric motor
and that they would be “ex-
tremely easy” to keep clean.
He explained that the floors
under conventional fixed-type
bleachers are difficult to keep
clean due to the supports
required underneath them.
However, the folding-type
bleachers would be easy to
keep clean as well as making it
easy to keep the floors clean
beneath.
Cable said that after the
bleachers are folded up against
the wall, all that is required is
to clean the seating and then
sweep the floor.
“We’ve already raised $8,000
in donations to pay for the
bleachers and we need some
more,” Cable said, "we’re not
asking any governmental body
to put up the money, but the
people who will be using them
will have a chance to help pay
Gilley to brief Lions
on state amendments
State Representative Smith
Gilley is scheduled to meet with
the Sulphur Springs Lion Club
Tuesday to discuss the nine
proposed amendments to the
Texas Constitution which will
be included on the November
general election ballot.
The Lions will meet at noon
Tuesday at the Woman’s
Building.
The last session of the Texas
Legislature approved a 12-

proposed changes to the con-
stitution. The first three were

year.
The Texas Constitution has
been amended more than 235
times since the document was
adopted in 1876.

for them. These bleachers
match the quality of the
building and are really
beautiful.”
He said that the names of the
persons who have contributed
are not available just yet, but
that donations of aU sizes have
already been received.
“We won’t be able to put
seats in at this cost again,”
Cable stressed.
He said that financing had
been arranged if someone
wanted to take out a loan, “and
it’s at a very small interest rate
and very low monthly
payments.”
Anyone who wishes to make a
donation or is interested in
looking into the financing
arrangments that have been
made may contact Cable.
“The negotiations have been
going on for several months,”
Cable said, “and they just let
me know that we could have
them for this price.
“Right now we’re $8,000 down
and $40,900 to go, "but this is a
deal you can’t refuse.
"It’s urgent.
"If we are to get these 3,000
seats at this price, we need to
find out if we can raise the
money for our Civic Center,”
Cable said. “The cooperative
effort of the people of Hopkins
County that made the Complex
possible to begin with will make
it possible to add the 3,000
seats.”
