No. 20
LAMPASAS COUNTY
FINANCIAL REPORT
To the citizens of Lampasas County,
Texas:
I am herewith submitting, a general
statement of the conditions of the af-
fairs of Lampasas county. Our funds
shown at the February term of court
are as follows:
Jury fund on hand...........—.-$ 2,941.21
C. H. & J. fund on hand..
General fund on hand ......
R. & B.fund on hand.....
Sinking fund on hand.....
Highway fund on hand.
8,752.94
10,361.78
4,142.97
6,542.23
5,034.59
$37,775.72
This was the money shown on hand
meeting of the February term of
|||Pthe Commissioners Court, after com-
missions had been figured off, and it
shows the general condition of the
various funds had it not been for the
outstanding warrants. The two big
warrants outstanding amounted; to
the sum of $10,745.70 one-half of this
money-came out of the Road & Bridge
|i fund and the other half from the gen-
eral funds.
That broke the R. & B. fund and
fes-took about half of the general fund.
We transferred from the C. H. & J.
to help the R. & B. fund stay on a
cash basis.
Sinking fund cannot be used only
to pay debts such as bonded debts;
« highway funds only to be used on the
'^oad leading from Copperas Cove-
l®X/ampasas-Lometa—Goldthwaite.
l i We had a lost warrant allowed out
* ***of the general fund that had not been
r r presented. That has since been found
■ and paid out of the general fund.
Our general fund is the principal
f ^working fund of the county. We are
In a cash basis but cannot possibly
®run the year on the funds we have.
We will do our best at it. Just help
; us climb the grade and you will be on
a cash basis with money to run you
if all help, as has been shown a dis-
position to do so to date.
We owe $31,500 bonded debt and
have $12,500 sinking funds well in-
vested to take care of that when it
becomes due, together with the cash
on hand.
This is your people’s business and
you are entitled to any knowledge
you want and will get it if you care
to come here and let some of us show
you. I thing your present court work-
ing fine and if they keep up at this
rate will soon have you O.K.
J. TOM HIGGINS,....
' ;r~ County Judge.
CAMP MARLAMONT ASSURED
W. J. Foe, president of the school
board, received a telephone message
from Dr. J. V. Brown Friday morn-
ing, March 9th, stating that satis-
factory arrangements had been made
with the State Superintendent of Ed-
ucation and that Camp Marlamont
summer school will be properly af-
filiated with the state schools, and
the work will be continued as it has
been for the past two years. Dr.
Brown stated, while in Lampasas that
just as soon as the matter was set-
tled he would begin advertising the
summer school at Lampasas. It is
gratifying to know that the proper
requirements have been met and that
we will have the Camp Marlamonters
with us again this summer.

SOLONS PAID LESS
THAN PORTERS
Austin, Texas, March 9.—This was
the last day the members drew $5
per! diem for their Services. Be-
ginning Saturday the stipend will be
$2 for each day’s work. This does
not affect the officers or employes as
their pay continues the same through
the whole period.
Saturday, the members of both
bodies v/ill commence receiving $2 a
day and the negro porters will get $3
for each day and the page $2.50. The
other officers receive $5 a day, except
those in the more responsible positions
and their compensation is $7.50 daily.
The stenographers are paid $5 daily.
The members are by far the poorest
paid part of the Legislature after the
60 days. The $2 a day session is
scheduled to close next Wednesday at
noon, or five days for $10 to each
member.
LACK OF NEGROES PUTS KINK
IN PLAN OF LABOR AGENT
New York, March 8.—Harry V.
Dougherty, member of a detective
agency which specializes in furnishing
labor to industrial concerns, has giv-
en up his hope of helping France
exploit the coal mines of the Rurhr
through th medium of American ne-
groes.
Dougherty announced upon his ar-
rival on the steamship Majestic Wed-
nesday that he would transport from
2,500 to 5,000 negro miners to the
Ruhr. Thursday he said he had
dropped the plan because he had learn-
ed since his arrival .that instead of
thousands of negroes eager for the
jobs, he couldn’t find 100 who were
willing to accept them.
DEATH OF FRANK STINSON
Frank Stinson died at the home of
his mother, Mrs. John Stinson, Thurs-
day morning and was buried Friday
morning at Rawhide cemetery, near
his home, four miles this side of Evant
The deceased was an ex-service man
L in the World War, and during his
service he had ptomaine poisoning
which developed later into a serious
stomach trouble, from which he never
recovered and was the ultimate cause
of his death. He was a single man,
and made his home with his mother
The Lampasas American Legion
Post had charge of the funeral ser-
vice, Commander M. L. Love, C. W.
Roberts, Wayne Casbeer, Jas. L. Ab-
ney and others of the post attended
the funeral services, Rev. C. M. Nel-
son preaching the funeral sermon.
Mr. and Mrs. Arch Sneed of Dal-
hart, Miss Annie Stinson, of Belton,
and Jack Stinson, of Temple, were
here to attend the funeral of their
brother, Frank Stinson, who died
Thursday, March 8, and was buried
Friday, and left Saturday for their
respective homes. They all formerly
lived in the Evant section and are
well known in that community.
P. M. Davis was in Lampasas from
Kempner Saturday, and was among
the callers at the Leader office. He
does not come to the county hub of-
ten and his friends here appreciate
his visits.
GASOLINE FUMES IGNITE;
SAN ANGELO HOME BURNS.
San Angelo, Texas, March 8.—Fire,
caused by the igniting of fumes from
a pan of gasoline, destroyed the home
of .enry Alexander, carpenter, in
Angelo Heights, Tuesday morning.
The loss, $2,200, was partly covered
by insurance.
Mrs. Alexander washed a shirt in
gasoline Monday and set a pan con-
taining gasoline in a bedroom closet.
A short time after a fire was light-
ed Tuesday morning in a bedroom
near the closet, the fumes ignited.
MONTANA LABOR ENDORSES
HERRIN MINE MASSACRE
Great Falls, Mont., March 8.—The
Montana State Federation of Labor in
its annual convention Thursday ad-
opted resolutions endorsing the con-
duct of the striking coal miners of
Herrin, 111., during the riots there last
year, and extending sympathy and
wishes for “speedy acquittal” of those
miners now being tried for murder at
Marion, 111. The resolutions were
signed by officials of the federation.
J. E. Blythe happened to an acci
dent about noon Thursday, when the
end of a finger on his right hand was
cut off while attempting to shut off
an electric fan. Mr. Blythe was in
the drying room of his establishment
and had an armful of clothes in one
arm and stooped over to cut the elec-
tric drying fan off and got his finger
in the way of the machinery whjch
took the end off of one finger. It
was a painful accident, but it is hoped
that there will not be any serious
trouble as a result.
