The estimated population at Ingleside is arrived at by
ualng Central Power and Light Co. formula of 4.1 people
p«r residential meter connections within the City Limits.
Th*lr records show that Ingleside had a gain of 190 new
meters during the past 6 years.
Ckirlag the past month, statements have been made by
members of the Action Ticket In regard to several condi-
tions supposedly detractive to our City.
On# of these Items was In regard to the lack of direct
dialing by telephone to Corpus Cbrtitl. Your present ad-
ministration received a petition from the residents of
Ingleside on the Bay approximately a year ago asking for
such service. This petition was publicized In both local
pnpera and la the Corpus Chrlatl papers; asking local
ettisens to denote their preference by signatures at the
City Office. After about a month these signatures were
tabulated; showing about a fifty-fifty vote on the subject.
However, the request was made to General Telephone
C ompaay to make a survey of what the coat would be to
eaeh telephone osar for direct dialing service to Corpus
Christl. Oa Ms la the City Office la a letter from General
Telepbcn* Company stating that this survey would be com-
pleted la September at 1906.
Another item mentioned was another bypass highway to
the South ci ingleside. The Texas Highway Department In-
formed City Officials and Commissioners Court that thty
bad no plans now or for the future to construct such a
highway Into Ingleside. This happened about 4 year* ago.
Another item mentioned was street lights la the City.
During the past 6 years the downtown business section has
had the old lights replaced with 10,000 lumen lights, thereby
■ore than tripling the amount of lUualantlan available. Also,
some SX additional street lights have been Instilled within
the City. Each application for street lights Is handled
iadtvlihwUy by the Commission as to conditions of traffic
hnssrri or vandalism. The cost of street lights Is a fist
monthly rat* and Is paid from tax revanoe. At the present
dm* street lights are coating $100.00 par month from tax

The question was raised that the City should extend
water lines to each property owner at City expense. Water
lines are not paid for from tax money since the original
bond Issue of $60,000.00 voted In 1952 as tax bonds. At
the present time there is a balance of $39,000.00 outstand-
ing on this issue. Since that time all water bonds have been
voted aa revenue bonds. It is not practical to spend large
amounts of money to Install water lines great distances for
minimum of customers.
The question was raised about obtaining Federal As-
sistance or Aid on such things as Urban Renewal. Your
present Administration has tried to set up a meeting with
Mr. Tom Paul of Aransas Pass, who is the local director
of Urban Renewal, but as of the present date we have not
been able to meet with him.
During the past six yesrs the City has Installed about
70,000 feet of water lines and 32 new fire plugs; gaining
for the residents a 37% reduction In fir* Insurance rates.
The City has purchased over $50,000 worth of equipment,
Including a new fir* truck costing $22,000; for the main-
tenance of City Streets and other facilities. Also a fir*
station, police station and Jail, and the Installation of a
fir* proof vault and equipment in the City Office al a total
cost of over $24,000.
At the present time the City la In the process of building
a new 250,000 gallon elevated water tank and the complete
renovation and enlargement of the aewer disposal plant by
means of revenue bonds amounting to $135,000 voted last
year.
Your City has approximately 90 miles of streets to be
maintained from tax money. Also a 24 hour police patrol
ia maintained from tax revenue. The purchase and opera-
tion of a tractor and mowing machine, costing $2600.00,
la paid for from taxes. The operation of the Fir* Depart-
ment is another Item paid for from tax money.
The present City Commission la proud of their efforts
to help Ingleside grow at a atesdy rate, offering maximum
services at a minimum tax rat*. If reelected, they promise
to make every effort to hold our tax rate to a minimum
necessary for efficient operation of City business
