**rf*>‘*-**f. *
State Rep. Joe N. Cha
man, reporting to T
News-Telegrant via long *
tance telephone from Aus-
tin early Thursday after-
noon, stated that the Texas
Senate had just passed House Bijl
867 which will add Hopkins Coun-
ty to the 62nd Judicial District.
The bill, sponsored by Chap-
man, needs Gov. Allan Shivers’
signature before becoming law,
but he is expected to sign it.
Chapman says that the bill
would add the services of a sec-
T * ond district court to Hopkins
County, thereby providing for
continuous - terms and expediting
litigations.
The 62nd District Court is pre-
sided over by Judge Elisha- Myers
of Paris. This district presently is
comprised of Hunt, Delta, Lamar
-------anri~ Franklin counties.
The 8th Judicial District Court,
presided over by Judge Charles
D. Berry of Greenville, would
continue, to serve Hopkins Coun-
ty. The 8th District Court serves
Hopkins, Delta, Hunt and Rains
counties.
News for Dairyman
Rep. Chapman reported that
the governor had signed into law
a bill extending the Bangs dis-
ease control program. He said
this will enable Hopkins County
dairymen to comply with federal
requirements in ridding their
herds of, Bangs - infected cattle.
The-federal goveramer.t prov.idce-
a subsidy up to $75 for destroy-
ing Bangs - infected animals.
Chapman also was pleasfed that
the Livestock Sanitary Commis-
sion had been enlarged from
three to six members. The new
measure also provides that one
dairyman and a veterinarian must
be members of the commission.
DW1 Bill Passed
The House - approved bill spon-
sored by Rep. Chapman leaving
discretion of suspension of the
driver’s licenses for an operator
convicted of drunk driving, first
offense, to the county judge also
passed the Senate.
Chapman said this bill would
allow county judges to by-pass
the current law which requires
automatic suspension of the dri-
ver’s license for a six-month per-
iod on the first conviction for
drunk driving.
Chapman said he had no ad-
vance information as to the gov-
ernor’s thoughts about signing
this particular bill.
