Port Lavaca, Texas
November 21, 1961
Dear Sirs:
The Board of Trustees of Calhoun Memorial Hospital has requested
that I ask the Commissioners Court to buy 20 new air conditioners I
window units for this hospital. The ones that are in use at the
present time are old and worn out and give us a great ~eal of main-
tenance trouble. You may be interested to know that as a result
of a recent pole of the patients here, we have learned that these
poor air conditioners was the most frequently mention complaint.
We have requested bids of all local interested dealers, specifying
the 1 ton or 12,000 BTU size. Our specification asked for one full
year of guaranteed maintenance as well as a 5 year guarantee on
the compressor unit. I have listed the bids below as we received
them and they are on file in my office. The bid request further
specified that 20 old units be traded in and the prices quoted
are with the understanding that these 20 old units would be given
in trade.
20 Chrysler Air Tem, Mod.PlO-03 by Oliver Ref. Co. $2,910.00.
20 Westinghouse Mod. MHB-122-CY by Port Lavaca plb. 3,715.00
20 General Electric R 173 by Ed Melcher Co. with
Heat Lamp 3,400.00
20 General Electric R 471 without Heat Lamp by
Ed Melcher Company 3,300.00 I"
20 Friedrich Mod. lS122 by Young Plumbing Co. 4,380.00
20 Fedders Mod. l3D3 by Young Plumbing Co. 4,380.00
,
We have been advised that this is the right time of year to buy
air conditioners as far as price is concerned and it would give
us plenty of time to get them installed before they are needed.
May we hear from you please.
Respectfully submitted,
James N. Sudduth

If everyone is in agreement, may I suggest that each court pass
an appropriate order at the regular January meeting of the Com-
missioners Court authorizing the supplemental salary.
According to my calculations, the amount for each county is as
follows:
I County Population Amount
Calhoun 16,592 $ 290.60
DeWitt 20,683 362.18
Jackson 5,429 95.10
Goliad 14,040 245.91
Refugio 10,975 192.23
Victoria 46,475 813.98
114,194 $2,000.00
May I suggest that each County deduct social security but not
withholding. It is my suggestion that DeWitt County deduct
the withholding Tax.
After your court has taken action, please advise with copies to
all concerned.
,Very truly yours,
I

On a motion made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commis-

in answer to Claud Everett Construction Company letter concern-

Port 0 I Connor.
Claude Everett Construction Company
P. 0, Box 25082
Houston, Texas
Attention: Mr. C. H. Everett, Jr.
Gentlemen:
At a regular meeting on February 7, 1962, the Calhoun County
Commissioner's Court considered your letter of January 31,
1962, addressed to Lockwood, Andrews and Newnam about replace-
ment of the Shore Protection Wall at Port O'Connor which was
damaged by Hurricane "Carla". The Court has instructed me to
reply to your letter and report to you the action taken by the
Court.
I
~
23
The Commissioner's Court reaffirmed its op~n~on that re-
placement of the damaged wall is your full responsibility,
and that such work should be performed at no cost to the
County. The Court's position is based on the Specifications
for the project and upon your letter to the Court dated Dec-
ember 18, 1961.
I
The provisions of the Specifications upon which the Court
has reached its decision may,be outlined as follows:
1. Paragraph 1-30 LOSSES FROM NATURAL CAUSES on page
1-7 of the Specifications clearly states that losses arising
out of the nature of the work or caused by the action of the
elements shall be borne by the Contractor..
1'-0
Ci')
"-t'
<(
~
'"":l
2. Paragraph 1-26 EQUIPMENT. MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION
PLANT, on page 1-6 of the Specifications states that the Con-
tractor shall be respGnsible for the care, preservation, con-
servation, and protection of any and all parts of the work,
whether the Contractor has been paid, partially paid or not
paid for such work until the entire work is completed and ac-
cepted.
I
In addition to the prov~s~ons of the Specifications the Court
feels that you accepted the responsibility for replacing the
damaged wall at your expense in your letter to the Court dat-
ed December 18, 1962. On page 2 of your letter, under the head-
ing Port 0' Connor, Item 2 Other Work states "Complete all addi-
tional work as required by the plans and Specifications." On
the same page of your letter, the last sentence states, "The
above work will be performed at no increase in the Contract
price." In view of the provisions of the Specifications, the
Court interpreted these two sentences as your committment to
replace the damaged sea wall.
Insofar as your suggestion that a ch~nge in scope is involved
by altering the wall alignment at Port O'Connor, the Court
again must disagree.
Paragraph 1-19, CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS, on page
1-5 of the Specifications permits the Owner to make changes
in alignment. It should also be noted that the change in
alignment reduces rather than increases the length of damaged
wall to be replaced.
I
In view of the above, the Court does not feel that it has
any obligation to bear any of the cost of replacing the
damaged wall, nor does the Court feel that any "extra work"
is involved. It is therefore the Court's position that you
have contracted responsibility to replace the damaged wall and
complete the work at no increase in the Contract price.
The Court has instructed its engineers, Lockwood, Andrews and
Newnam to write you again and request you to resume work. The
Court sincerely hopes that it will have your full cooperation
in the remainipg work on this project.
Sincerely,
Howard G. Hartzog,
County Judge

WHEREAS, the State has deemed it necessary to make certain highway
improvements on Highway No. 35: from Refugio County Line, Northeast I
to Green Lake, and which section of highway improvements will nec-
essitate the acquisition of certain right of way, and,
WHEREAS, it is agreed that such right of way purcli.ase shall be by
joint effort of the State and the County;
NOW, ~~REFORE be it AGREED that acquisition of such right of way
shall be in accordance with the terms of this contract. The State
hereby authorizes and requests the County to proceed with acquisi-
tion and the State agrees to reimburse the County for its shane

reimbursement ' and accomplished according to the provisions out-
lined herein and agreed to by both parties hereto.
LOCATION SURVEYS AND PREPARATION OF RIGHT OF WAY DATA: The State,
without cost to the County, will do the necessary preliminary
engineering and title investigation in order to supply to tli.e
County the data and instruments necessary to obtain acceptable
title to the desired right of way.
DETERMINATION OF RIGHT OF WAY VALUES: The County agrees to make
a determination of property values for each right of way parcel I
by methods acceptable to the County and to submit to the State's
'District Office a tabulation of the values so determined, sign-
ed by the appropriate County representative. Such tabulation
shall list the parcel numbers, ownership, acreage, and recom-
mended compensation. Compensation shall be shown in the com-
ponent parts of land taken, itemization of improvements taken,
and (if a parcial taking) damages, if any, or enhancements, if

an explanation to support the determined values, together with
a copy of information or reports used in arriving at determined
values. Such work will be performed by the County at its ex-
pense without cost participation by the State. The State will
review the data submitted and may base its reimbursement on the
values as determined by this review. The State, however, reser-
ves the right to perform at its own expense any additional in-
vestigation deemed necessary, including supplemental appraisal
work by State employees or by employment of fee appraisers, all
as may be necessary for determination of values to constitute the
basis for State reimbursement.
If at any stage of the project development it is determined by I
mutual agreement between the State and the County t~at there
should be waived the requirements that the County submit to the
State property value determinations for any part or all of the
required right of way, the County will make appropriate written
notice to the State of such waiver, such notice to be acknowledged

in writing by the State. In instances of such waiver, the State
by its due processes and at its own expense will make a determina-
tion of values to constitute the basis for State reimbursement.
NEGOTIATIONS: The State will notify the County as soon as possible
as to the State's determination of value. Negotiation and settle-
ment with the property owner will be the responsibility of the
County without participation by the State; however, the County
will notify the State immediately prior to closing the transaction
so that a current title investigation may be made to determine if
there has been any change in the title. The County will deliver
properly executed deeds which together with any curative instru-
ments found to be necessary as a result of the State's title in-
vestigation will prDperly vest title in the State for each right
of way parcel involved. The costs incidental to negotiation and
the costs of ,recording the right of way instruments will be the
responsibility of the County. The cost of title investigation
will be the responsiblity of the State.
CONDEMNATION: Condemnation proceedings will be initiated at a
time selected by the County and will be the County's responsibility
at its ,own expense except as hereinafter indicated. The County will
obtain from the State, without cost, current title information and
engineering data at the time condemnation proceedings are to be
initiated. Except as hereinafter set forth, the County will con-
currently file condemnation proceedings and notice of lis pendens
for each ase in the name of the State, and in each case so filed
the judgment of the court will decree title to the property con-
demned in the name of the State. The County will accomplish the
legal procedures and curative matters found to be necessary as a
result of the State's title investigation, fulfilling the obliga-
tion to properly vest title in the State of Texas. The County
may, as set forth herein under "Excess Takings", enter condemna-
tion proceedings in its own name.
COURT COSTS, COSTS OF SPECIAL COMMISSIONERS' HEARINGS AND APPRAISAL
EXPENSE: Court costs and costs of Special Commissioners' hearings
assessed against the State or County in condemnation proceedings
conducted on behalf of the State, and fees incident thereto, will
be paid by the County. Such costs and fees as are applicable to
the requested right of way, with the exception of recording fees,
will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement under the
established reimbursement procedure provided such costs and fees
are eligible for payment by the State under existing State law.
Where the County uses the State's appraisers employed on a fee
basis in Special Commissioners' hearings or subsequent appeals,
the cost of the appraiser of updating his report, of preparing
new reports, preparing for court testimony and appearing in court
to testify in support of his appraisal will be paid direct by the
County, but will be eligible for 50 per cent State reimbursement
under established reimbursement procedure provided prior approval
for such appraiser has been obtained from the State. The ~ee paid
the appraiser by the Caunty shall bein accordance with the fee
schedule set forth in the appraiser's contract for appraisal ser-
vices with the State. Reimbursement for court costs, costs of
Special Commissioners' hearings and the cost of the State's ap-
praiser as herein set forth will not be paid by the State where
the property condemned involves an excess taking, unless the State
approves the excess taking.
50
EXCESS TAKING: In the event the County desires to acquire land in
excess of that requested by the State for right of way purposes,
the State's cost participation will be limited to the property
needed for right of way purposes. If the County elects to acquire
the entire property, including the excess taking, by a single
instrument of conveyance or in one eminent domain proceeding, the
property involved will be. acquired in the name of the County and
that portion requested by the State for right of way will be con-
veyed to the State. The State's participation will be based,on
the State's approved value of that part requested for right of way
purposes, providing such approved value does not exceed actual pay-
ment made by the County.
DISPOSAL OF IMPROVEMENTS: It is agreed that the State's participa-
tion in the cost of improvements will be based upon approved values.
The disposition of improvements may be in accordance with State
Highway Department Administrative Order 8-57, a copy ,of which is
attached hereto and marked Exhibit "A!'. Where the owner retains
an improvement, which is to. be moved by either the County or the
owner, the maximum amount in which the State will participate is
that figure derived from an application of the provisions of Admin-
istrative Order 8-57. In the event the improvements which are,
in whole or part, a part of the right of way taking are not retain-
ed by the owner, title is to be secured in the name of the State.
The State will participate in the acquisition of a structure severed
by the right of way line if the part of the house, building or simi-
lar structure outside the right of way cannot be reconstructed ade-
quately or there is nothing but salvage left, and provided title
to the entire structure is taken in the name of the State. The
State shall dispose of all improvements acquired. Revenue derived
by the State from the disposition of any improvements will be
credited to the cost of the right of way ppocured.
RELOCATION OF UTILITIES: If the required right of way encroaches
upon an existing utility located on its own right of way and the
proposed highway construction requires the adjustment, removal or
relocation of the utility facility, the State will establish the
necessity for the utility work. State participation in the cost
of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in the
value to the utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may be
obtained by either the "actual cost" or"lump. sum" procedures.
Reimbursement under "actual cost" will be made subsequent to the
County's certification that the work has been completed and will be
made in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the eligible items of cost
as paid to the untility owner. The "lump sum" procedure requires
that the State establish the eligibility of the utility work and
enter into a three party agreement with the owners of the utility
facilities and the County which sets forth the exact lump sum
amount of reimbursement based ona prior appraisal. The utility
will be reimbursed by the County after proper certification by the
utilities that the work has been done, said reimbursement to,be on
the basis of the prior lump sum agreement. The State will reim-
burse.the County in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the firm
commitment as paid to the utility owner. The foregoing is subject
to the provision that the individual lump sum approved value
shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as specifically approved by the
State. In those cases where a signle operation is estimated to ex-
ceed $20,000.00, the tvansaction will be brought to the attention
of the State for determination of proper handling based upon the
circumstances involved. Such utility firm commitment will be an
appropriate item of right of way. The adjustment, removal or re_
location of any ; utility line on publicly owned right of way by
sufferance or permit will not be eligible for State reimbursement.

The term "utility" under this contract shall include publicly, pri-
vately, or cooperatively owned utilities.
FENCING REQUIREMENTS: The County may either pay the property owner
for his existing right of way fences based on the value such fence
contribute to the part taken and damages for an unfenced condition
resulting from the right of way taking, in which case the esti-
mated value of such right of way fences and such damages will be
included in the recommended value and the approved value, or the
County may do the fencing on the property owner's remaining pro-
perty.
Where the County performs right of way fencing as a part of the
total right of way consideration, neither the value of existing
right of way fences nor damages for an unfenced will be included
in the recommended value or the approved value. State partici-
pation in the County's cost of constJucting right of way fencing
on the property owner's remainder may be based either on the actual
cost of the fencing or on a predetermined lump sum amount. The
State will be given credit for any salvaged fencing material and
will not participate in any overhead costs of the County.
If State participation is to be requested on .the lump sum basis,
the State and the County will reach an agreement prior to the actual
accomplishment of work as to the necessity, eligibility, and a
firm commitment as to the cost of the entire ~encing work to be
performed. The foregoing is subject to the provision that the
lump sum approved cost shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as
specifically approved by the State. In case ~he fencing is esti-
mated to exceed $20,000.00, the tranaction will be brought to the
attention of the State for determination of proper handling based
upon the circumstances involved.
REIMBURSEMENT: The State will reimburse the County for right of
way acquired after the date of this contract in an amount not to
exceed 50 per cent of the cost of the right of way acquired in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement. The
State's reimbursement will be in the amount of 50 per cent of the
State's predetermined value of each parcel, or the net cost thereof,
whichever is the lesser amount.
If condemnation is necessary and title is taken as set forth herein
under the section headed "Condemnation", the participation by the
State shall be based on the final judgment, conditioned that the
State has been notified in writing prior to the filing of such suit
and prompt notice is also given as to all action taken therein. The
State shall have the right to become a party to the suit at any
time for all purposes, including the right of appeal at any stage
of the proceedings. All other items of cost shall be borne by the
State and the County as provided by other provisions of this agree-
ment.
If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been
executed, the State will reimburse the County in the amount of 50
per cent of the predetermined lump sum cost of the right of way
fencing or utility adjustment.
If the County prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement for
either fencing or utility adjustments, the State will reimburse on
the actual cost of such adjustments. The County's request for re-
imbursement will be supported by a breakdown of the labor, materials,
and equipment used.

position of improvements purchased with highway rights of way. In
arr~v~ng at a workable plan, the Right of Way Division studied the
procedures used by a number of cities and states as well as the
Texas Turnpike Authority. The most feasible plan appears to be
one based upon the fixed percentage of the appraised value of the
improvement. The cost to the property owner to retain his im-
provement will be figured as indicated below:
1. Frame Buildings
(a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be permitted
to retain this type of structure if he consents to
reducing the purchase price for his property by an
amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the
retEined improvement.
(b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be permit-
ted to retain this type of structure if he consents
to reducing the purchase price for his property by
an amount equal to 15% of the appraised value of
the retained improvement.
(c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permit-
ted to retain this type of structure if he consents
to reducing the purchase price for his property by
an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of
the retained improvement.
2. Brick, Rock, Stone, Veneer and Stucco Buildings.
(a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be permit-
ted to retain this type of structure if he consents
to reducing the purchase price for his property by
an amount equal to 15% of the appraised value of
the retained improvement.
(b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be permit-
ted to retain this type of structure if he consents
to reducing the purchase price for his property by
an amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the
retained improvement.
(c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permit-
ted to retain this type of structure if he consents
to reducing the purchase price of his property by an
amaunc equal to 5% of the appraised value of the re-
tained improvement.
3. Miscellaneous Improvements, e.g. well pumps, fences, etc.,
may be retained by the owner if he consents to reduc-
ing the purchase price for his property by an amount
equal to 20% of the appraised value of the retained
improvement.
Any improvements bought under the State Right of Way Purchase Plan
which are to be sold and not relinquished to the property owners
in accordance with the above plan will be disposed of through the
Board of Control. Where an owner elects to retain improvements
under the above procedure, the Contract of Sale or the Memorandum
of Agreement shall include a provision covering the agreement and
54
fixing a time limit for removal of the improvement.
In anticipation of the possibility of the property owner desiring
to retain his improvements, the appraisal report reviewer shall
establish. the basic offer value of each improvement which recom-
. mended price should be forwarded to D-15 .along with the recommend-
ed offer price for the total parcel.

RELOCATION OF UTILITIES: If the required right of way encroaches
upon an existing utility located on its own right of way and the
proposed highway construction requires the adjustment, removal or
relocation of the utility facility, the State will establish the
necessity for the utility work. State participation in the cost
of making the necessary change, less any resulting increase in
the value to the utility and less any salvage value obtainable, may
be obtained by either the "actual cost" or "lump sum" procedures.
Reimbursement under "actual cost" will be made subsequent to the
County's certification that the work has been completed and will
be made in an amount equal to 50 per cent of the eligible items
of cost as paid to the utility owner. The "lump sum" procedure
requires that the State establish the eligibility of the utility
work and enter into a three party agreement with the owners of the
utility facilities and the County which sets forth the exact lump
sum amount of reimbursement based on a prior appraisal. The
utility will be reimbursed by the County after proper certifica-
tion by the utility that the work has been done, said reimburse-
ment to be on the basis of the prior lump sum agreement. The
State will reimburse the County in an amount equal to 50 per cent
of the firm commitment as paid to the utility owner. The fore-
going is subject to the provision that the individual lump sum
approved value shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as specifically
approved by the State. In those cases where a siggle operation is
estimated to exceed $20,000.00, the transaction will be brought
to the attention of the State for determination of proper handling
based upon the circumstances involved. Such utility firm commit-
ment will be an appropriate item of right of way. The adjustment,
removal or relocation of any utility line on publicly owned right
of way by sufferance or permit will not be eligible for State
reimbursement. The term "utility" under this contract shall in-
clude publicly, privately,.or cooperatively owned utilities.
FENCING REQUIREMENTS: The county may. either pay the property owner
for his existing right of way fences based on the value such fence
contributes to the part taken and damages for an unfenced condi-
tion resulting from the right of way taking, in which case the
estimated value of such right of way fences and such damages will
be included in the recommended value and the approved value, or
the County may do the fencing on the property owner's remaining
property.
Where the County performs right of way fencing as a part of the
total right of way consideration, neither the value of existing
right of way fences nor damages for an unfenced condition will
be included in the recommended value or the approved value. State
participation in the County's cost of constructing right of way
fencing on the property owner's remainder may be based either on
the actual cost of the fencing or on a predetermined lump sum
amount. The State will be given credit for any salvaged fence
material and will not participate in any overhead costs of the
County.
If State participation is to be requested on. the lump sum basis,
the State and the County will reach an agreement prior to the
catual accomplishment of work as to the necessity, eligibility,
and a firm commitment as to the cost of the entire, fencing work
,to be performed. The foregoing is subject to the provision that
the lump sum approved cost shall not exceed $20,000.00, except as
r;Q
1:......0
specificaliy.approved by the State. In case the fencing is
estimated.to exceed $20,000.00, the transaction will be brought
to the attention of the State for determination of proper hand-
ling based upon the circumstances involved.
REIMBURSEMENT: The State will reimburse the County for right of I
way acquired after the date of this contract in an amount not
to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of the right of way acquired
in a~cordance with the terms and provisions of this agreement.
The State's reimbursement will be in the amount of 50 per cent
of the State's predetermined value of each parcel, or the net cost
thereof, whichever is the lesser amount.
If condemnation is necessary and title is taken as set forth
herein under the section headed "Condemnation", the participation
by the State shall be based on the final judgment, conditioned
that the State has been notified in writing prior to the filing
of such suit and prompt notice is also given as to all action
taken therein. The State shall have the right to become a party
to the suit at any time for all purposes, ;including the right
to appeal at any stage of the proceedings. All other items of
cost shall be borne by the State and the County as provided by
.other provisions of this agreement.
If a lump sum fencing or utility adjustment agreement has been
executed, the State will reimburse the County in the amount of
50 per cent of the predetermined lump sum cost of the right of
way fencing or utility adjustment.
If the County prefers not to execute a lump sum agreement for
either fencing or utility adjustments, the State will reimburse
on the actual cost of such adjustments. ,The County's request
for reimbursement will be supported by a breakdown of the labor,
materials and equipment used.
I
GENERAL: It is understood that the terms of this agreement shall
apply only to right of way authorized and requested by the Texas
Highway Department which is needed and not yet dedicated, in use,
or previously acquired in the name of the State or County for
highway, street, or road purposes.
It is further understood that if unusual circumstances develop in
the right of way acquisition which are not clearly covered by the
terms of this agreement, such unusual circumstances'or problems
will be resolved by mutual agreement between the State and the
County.

SUBJECT: POLICY ON DISPOSAL OF IMPROVEMENTS ON STATE PUR-
CHASED RIGHT OF WAY
'rO: ALL DISTRICT ENGINEERS, ENGINEER-MANAGER AND DIVISION
, HEADS
Gentlemen:
I
The rapid progress of the State Right of Way Purchase Program
indicates the necessity of having a well defined policy for
the disposition of improvements purchased with highway right
of way. In arriving at a workable plan, the Right of Way Divi-
sion studied the procedures used'by a number of cities and
states as well as the Texas Turnpike Authority. The most
feasible plan appears to be one based upon the fixed percentage
of the appraised value of the improvement. The cost to the
property owner to retain his improvement will be figured as in-
dicated below:
1. Frame Buildings
(8) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be per-
mitted to retain this type of structure if he
consents to reducing the purchase price for his
property by an amount equal to 20% of the appraised
value of the retained improvement.
I
(b) Continuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be per-
mitted to retain this type of structure if he con-
sents to reducing the purchase price of his pro-
perty by an amount equal to 15% of the appraised
value of the retained improvement.
(c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be permitted
to retain this type of structure if he consents to
reducing the purchase price for his property by an
amount equal to 10% of the appraised value of the
retained improvement.
60
2. Brick, Rock, Stone, Veneer and Stucco Buildings.
(a) Pier or Block Foundation. The owner will be per-
mitted to retain this type of structure if he
consents to reducing the purchase price of his I
property by an amount equal to 15% of the apprais-
ed value of the retained improvement.
(b)C6!\tinuous Beam Foundation. The owner will be
permitted to retain this type of structure if
he consents to reducing the purchase price for
his property by an amount equal to 10% of the
appraised value of the retained improvement.
(c) Concrete Slab Foundation. The owner will be per-
mitted to retain this type of structure if he
consents to reducing the purchase price for his
property by an amount equal to 5% of the apprais-
ed value of the retained improv~ment.
3. Miscellaneous Improvements ,E. G., well pumps, fences,
etc., may be retained by the owner if he consents to
reducing the purchase price for his property by an
amount equal to 20% of the appraised value of the re-
tained improvement.
Any improvements bought under the State Right of Way Purchase I
Plan which are to be sold and not relinquished to the property
owners in accordance with the above plan will be disposed of
through the Board of Control. Where an owner elects to retain
improvements under the above procedure, the Contract of Sale
or the Memorandum of Agreement shall include a provision cover-
ing the agreement and fixing a time limit for removal of the
imp~ovement .
In anticipation of the possibility of the property owner de-
siring to retain his improvements, the appraisal report reviewer
shall establish the basic offer value of each improvement which
recommended price should be forwarded to D-l5 along with the re-
commended offer price for the total parcel.
Sincerely yours,

SHORE PROTECTION
A meeting was attended by all members of the Commissioners' Court,
Mr. Smith of the Bonding Company; Contractor Mr. Claude Everett
and his foreman Mr~ Schoolcraft and Engineers Mr. Klotz and McDonald, I
for the purpose of discussing problems affecting the Shore Protection
projects in Commissioners Precincts Nos. 2, 3 and 4.
Mr. Kabela pointed out that the project at Six Mile Park needed
more shell and leveling and the channel needed to be dug. He
felt that the County was due a credit for deficiencies in work-
manship on the wall.
Mr. Lindsey pointed out that the pr01ect at Olivia needed grouting
in the wall to prevent undermining of back fill. At the Point Com-
fort site the asphalt surfaced area had "bird baths" in it which
needed to be filled so water would not stand and allow proper
drainage, and that the groin or separation wall piling were placed
in uncompacted soil by trenching instead of by driving and felt
that the County was due a credit for the deficiencies in workman-
ship on both projects, also boat ch~nnel needed to be dug.
Mr. Barton pointed out that the Seadrift project needed grouting
of wall to prevent undermining of back fill and recommended payment
of his estimate.
Mr. Klotz stated that the Point Comfort wall was trenched for the I
first 80 feet and the remainder of the wall driven about 2 feet
for pinning. He recommended payment on the wall of that portion
over the 80 feet and it was his opinion that after the One (1)
year guarantee period the wall would be O.K. because the soil
would compact and the wall would be adequate.
Mr. Everett gave a progress report that the Port O'Connor project
would resume shortly with work on wall and fill. He stated the
I

piling casting would begin Monday and would require about 14 days
to install the piling and dredging of fill would begin in 15 days.
He stated it would take him six or seven weeks to reach final
completion of all projects. He stated that he planned to cut the
boat channel at Point Comfort by washing with a tug boat but that
he had to wait until the groin or separation wall was installed.
He stated that it was his intention to wait until spring so that
the channel would stay open. He pointed out that as to the groin
at Point Comfort that water compaction returns soil to near ori-
ginal condition and that the pilings were installed according to the
suggestions of the engineers- as to change of or altered method of
installation.
Mr. Lindsey asked if the Contractor would guarantee the wall for
three years and he received a "no" answer; Mr. Klotz stated that
the wall, was adequate for the purpose for which it was intended
which was to cut off the effluent from the sewer drain and that
the guarantee period was sufficient since the consolidation of
materials would occur in one year. He stated that the first 80
feet of the wall should be watched during the guarantee period.
He stated that the shore protection wall was adequate but that
the appearanc~ was not as desired.
Everett stated that the groin wall was trenched to provide the best
appearance within the structural requirements, also that the tolerance
in the specifications accounted for the "bird baths" in the asphalt
surface and that the ones there were very shallow and very few. He
stated the asphalt topping was placed on cement stabalized shell.
Whereupon ~ motion was made by Commissioner Lindsey and seconded
by Commissioner Barton that the Court accept the recommendations of
Mr. Klotz, Engineer; (that the Court recognize deficiencies in the
work in its present condition, the County has 10% retainage on all
work and has 100% guarantee after completion and that the 10% re-
tainage is sufficient to cover all deficiencies; that the County pay
the estimates and retain 10% until the Contractor has performed ac-
cording to his letter of December 18, 1961, recorded in Volume L
of the Minutes of Commissioners' Court, and his assurances to the
Court, then the County release the 10% retainage.After the retain-
age is released the County will still have 100% guarangee for One
(1) year.) and that the Court pay the two estimates #10 and #11
and resume payments as estimates are submitted. The motion was
unanimously carried,
HOSPITAL EXPANSION
Upon a motion made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commissioner
Wedig and unanimously carried, that Suction System be stubbed in at
Hospital at a,cost of $746.00, going to operating rooms, nursery,
delivery room and recovery room on lower floor and the nursery and
delivery room on second floor.
The tube system was discussed and explained by Mr. Green from the
Grover Company, Detroit, Michigan, that this could be stubbed in
for a cost of $2335.00 in walls only and that he would give the
Court one week,at this price,to decide. The Court decided to de-
lay its decision for one week.

CALHOUN COUNTY NAVIGATION DISTRICT
I
TO THE COMMISSIONERS COURT OF CALHOUN COUNTY. TEXAS
We, the members of the Calhoun County Navigation District, feel.
that the present rate of compensation per day for the members
is.inadequate because of the increased time and responsibility
necessary to carry on the duties of the District.
The District, at ~his time, is in full operation digging a deep
water channel to Alcoa, which project involves millions of dollars,
and in order to properly meet our responsibilities we must devote
many hours to studying and investigation so that our meeting time
is only a small part of our work for the District. We are only
compensated for our meetings and days spent out of town' engaged
in District work.
Therefore, we respectfully petition and request this Commissioners
Court to increase the per diem compensation for the members of the
Navigation Commission to a minimum of $50.00 per day.

Re: Bids on Kitchen Equipment Work
Gentlemen:
In reviewing the bids for the kitchen equipment for Calhoun
Memorial Hospital, we found the low bid was submitted by Cen-
tral Kitchen Equipment, Inc., of Corpus Christi, Texas. Their
baSfbid of $20,270.00 was $5,257.00 lower than the next bid-
der which was an obvious error.
We telephoned the low bidder, telling them their bid was low,
but that it should be checked for error. We did not give them
any other information. They called back within the hour, in-
forming us that an error of $4,342.00 had been made, and that
amount should be added to their bid figure, making the bid
$24,612.00.
We informed them that they could submit a new proposal, but
that we would not ,recommend the bid be accepted. A new pro-
posal was submitted the next day with a base figure of $25,610.00
which was approximately $1,000.00 higher than what we had dis-
cussed by telephone. We called them for an explanation of the
new base figure, and they informed us that another error had been
found - - hence, the final figure. We feel that there are a few
too many errors for us.
The next lowest bidder is Commercial Kitchens, Inc. of Houston,
Texas with a base bid of $25,527.00, and a Deductive Alternate
of $3,490.00, resulting in a net figure of $22,037.00. This
firm has just completed a Kitchen Equipment contract for us in
the Refugio Hospital with excellent results. Our recommenda-
tion is to accept the Commercial Kitchen bid.
Enclosed is Change Order #6 which will revise the Kitchen Area
for the Deductive Alternate #1 of the Kitchen Equipment bid.
We are also enclosing Central Kitchen's latest bid.

THEREFORE, upon a motion made by Commissioner Wedig, seconded

Our Hospital Board requests that I ask your permission to
sell the sink for $5.00 to one of our employees. May I hear
from you please.
Respectfully yours,

X CIVIL DEFENSE - FALL OUT SHELTER LICENSE
STATE OF TEXAS }:
X
COUN'lY OF CALHOUN X
TO: James H. Garner, State Coord.
Kenneth Haegy, Ch.Eng. Div.
U.S.Corps of Engineers
On motion made by Clarence Barton, seconded by Wayne Lindsey,
the County Judge of Calhoun County was authorized to execute
the attached fallout shelter license and privilege for the
use of Civil Defense Headquarters, the County Courthouse, and
that there be attached as a part of such grant of privilege
the following information for the consideration of the U. S.
Engineers prior to acceptance.
The Commissioners Court of Calhoun County desires to advise
you that in connection with this offered grant of privilege,
before your acceptance of this license, you must evaluate
as follows:
I
I.
The Courthouse is an aluminum skin wall building with less
than 3 inches of fiberglass insulation and with vast areas of
glass which cannot be sealed against radiation. There are no
unused storage rooms suitable to store supplies as proposed.
That all supplies will have to be stored in the sub-County
Courthouse building and not in the Courthouse, such building
is already designated by the State Civil Defense office.
II.
That there is no need for marking signs on the interior of
the building because of the fact that only the rear part of the
interior hallways, which open upon the glassed in foyer, will
. give any degree of fallout protection, and then only if the open
hallways are sealed and sand bagged.
III.
I
That except for ,the already crowded mechanical equipment
basement, it offers no true protection from an atomic blast
or fallout, over that of any standard home. All of these
facts were well known to Bovay Engineering Compan~, or could
have been considered had an actual inspection from room to
97
room been made, as Bovay engineers designed all of the mechani-
cal equipment now crowded into the small basement.
IV.
I
If it difficult for the Court to understand why this struc-
ture was so designated unless it was because these private
engineers found that only one other building in Port Lavaca,
a town of 10,000, to be suitable and in desperation added
this structure. It is well to note that along Main Street
there are several two-story masonry buildings which are local-
ly considered to be much better suited.
V.
co
OJ
~
~
~
~
That the main areas, outsime of the two limited hall corri-
dors, must, of course, be reserved for the essential use as
Civil Defense Headquarters and for RACES short wave and radio
communications, the law enforcement agencies, city police,
sheriff and personnel of civil defense, who are to transport
supplies by shielded mobile equipment to other shelters.
VI.
I
That to accept this building for such designation would be
equivalent to designating the U. S. Engineer Office in Galves-
ton as the State Civil Defense Headquarters in Austin.
VII.
This courthouse was seriously damaged during "Carla" and
had the storm lasted an hour longer we would have had to eva-
cuate, as the skin wall was beginning to separate. Even in
a three day period, without water or public power, living
conditions were beginning to be unbearable.
VIII.
I
It must be remembered that any consideration of approval of
a several story building, as a fallout shelter is based upon
the theory that ruble from upper stories and side walls will'
fall so as to form a protective shield over interior corridors
and lower floors. This, of course, is not true of a metallic
wall or a skin wall building, and if any part of the building
is designated, we request an on the ground inspection by the
Corps of Engineers and that a limitation be placed upon the
numbers to be assigned, that bears a relation to reality and
needs, for essential governmental use. The fact that the
buildings approved in Calhoun County are totally inadequate
makes it obvious that if there is any serious possibility of
national danger from fallout, the federal government must
provide all the funds necessary for the construction of
shelters in Calhoun County because the County Commissioners
Court cannot now levy taxes for public improvements, without
a change in the Texas Constitution.

with plans for a county airport. I would like to commend.you
and the other members of the committee for the time and effort
that has gone into the research of this project.
It is my opinion that a properly-planned airport will have good

Mr. W. R. Zwerschke
Chairman, Aviation Committee
Chamber of Commerce
Port Lavaca, Texas
Dear Bill:
As a private pilot and aviation enthusiast, I want to commend
you on your work toward an airport for Port Lavaca. This is
a project that we have sorely needed for the past six or seven
years, and the need is becoming more acute as each year passes.
I .have seen the plans for the Piekert strip and heartily en'"
dorse them in every respect. Nearly all private and corporate
pilots like a strip to be as close to town as possible and
the Piekert strip satisfies this requirement. Further the

Dear Billy Ray:
I want you to know that I am completely in favor of the efforts
you and others are making to help us secure a first-class airport
for our town and county. With no disrespect to others in the
aviation business, we badly need a first-class hard-service
strip which will open up new businesses for our town and county.
I urge you to go "full speed ahead" with this planning and to
enlist the aid of the city and county in making this airport
a reality for us.
102
I commend you for your efforts and encourage you to keep at it
hard until this is a reality;
Yours very truly,

Dear Mr. GZwerschke:
I have been told that your Chamber of Commerce AVfation Com-
mittee is actively working toward a Calhoun County Airport
in the vicinity of the Fair Grounds.
I believe this is a worthwhile project. Such an airport
could be advantggeously used by Union Carbide Corporation
planes, .and also by Brown & Root Construction Company planes.
Very truly yours,
I
(s) R. P. Barry
Ed Eckert, Chamber of Commerce manager, gave a report of his
meeting with Ed Findley of Caudill, Romlett, and Scott, Engineers
pointing out the need for a public airport facility and that
the engineers felt the proposed area near the fairgroUnds area
~oula be adequate for approximately fifteen years.
A short discussion followed regarding probable cost of the pro-
ject and property values in the area.
Bob Tanner stated his objections to the proposed site and gave
a brief history of the move to secure a public airport which
started after World War II. His objections were that the area
would have a poor safety factor due to proximity to other air-
port and residences in the area, that the area was too close to
town and it would present a nuisance to area residents. . He sug- I
gested that ..the site proposed be withdrawn and a committee be . .
appointed to study other sites.
,J1.1dge Hartzog gave a complete financial picture of the county
and its committments to projects already under way such as the
hospital, right of way acquisitions, bonds, etc.z

Hartzog offering a suggestion that the Planning Committee which
planned the Courthouse be reactivated to study the project.
Sam Saylor stated that the time to act was now and not for a
future complex airport system. He was in favor of close proxi-
mity to town because of transportation costs.

All present agreed on the need for a public airport facility.

Commissioner Kabela and unanimously carried, that the original

study this proposal and possible sites, estimated costs, finan-
cial aid, etc. with recommendations as to public. airport faci-
lity in Calhoun County which would best serve the entire area.

sistant, and in view of the County Auditor's request, we are
hereby willing to go along with the recommendation of the Com-

May 28, 1962
The Commissioners Court has recognized the increased work load
in this office and has authorized an additional assistant at
the rate of not to exceed $3,300.00 per annum, effective June 1.
I have outlined the pertinent~_ parts of Article 1650 which speci-
fy that the District Judges must approve the appointments of per-
sons employed by the County Auditor.
The girl I want to employ has been recommended to me by John
Camp, the principal at the high school, and by Mrs. Ferguson,
the head of the commercial department at the high school. She
ranks high in her studies, is of a calm temperment and presents
a pleasing appearance. Her name is Mrs. Margaret Sharron
Johnston; she is the daughter of Wallace Dierlam, who resides
in Precinct 2. I want to hire her at a starting salary of $250.
even though the Court has allowed a maximum of $275.00.
Will you please draft a letter to the Court.if you consent to
the appointment of this assistant, so that I may ask the Court to
enter the appropriate order in the Commissioners Court Minutes?

sizeable cataloging job needed in the initial preparation of the
books and for processing the heavy influx of new books.
Thank you for this much needed help.

RE: Calhoun County Library
Dear Sirs:
In reference to your letter dated July 6, 1962, concerning the Cal-
houn County Library Job:
We will do the painting and repair the three cracks on the outside walls
on the Southeast corner, and by the entrance porch, and the porch ceil-
ing, as referred to in your letter. But we would like to say, that in
our opinion, this damage was caused by some other cause other then
material or workmanship.
We are willing to fix these things this time, but should they occur
again, we would not feel obligated to assume liability.
~......~_...... "'~''''.o;''''''..__''.
<.~.
---'"~
_ 151,
After an extensive survey of the job, we feel the cracks in the
stucco are due to movement in the slab and masonry walls, or maybe
from the water driven through the walls during the recent hurricane,
as all this did not begin to show up until after the hurricane. We
feel if this had been in material it would not have waited nearly so
long to show up.
We will do this work as soon as we possibly can.
Very truly yours,

The Commissioners' Court may not furnish shell, sand or concrete
pipe for re-sale, without advertisement for bids. The Court can
and will c~ntinue its practice of assisting private land owners
of lands abuting county roads, so as to provide necessary ingress
and egress across bar ditches on county property, however, it will
be necessary that each such owner make application in writing to
the County Commissioner of the precinct and to provide to the site
the required size of culverts, concrete pipe or bridge material,
and the county will lay the culverts, pipe or construct the bridge
with a proper fill for access.
The Court will appreciate the understanding and cooperation of the
owners of private property and non-profit associations in not mak-
ing requests for the rental or use of county road machinery, equip-
ment or materials upon private property, other than in soil con-
servation.

Hon. County Judge Hartzog &
Commissioners Court
October 8, 1962
Gentlemen:
We would like to make, subject to your approval, the following
changes in the Calhoun County Sheriff's Department Budget:
00
v.
o::r
<I
<I:
~
Transfer $900.00 (Nine Hundred Dollars) from Regular Hire (Code
5402) to Extra Help (Code 5403). This .is caused by a shortage
in regular hire deputies, causing use of extra help.
Also, subject to your approval, we would like to increase the
salary of Joe A. Roberts from $350.00 to $375.00, to become
effective on October 15, 1962. This increase is requested due
to long, continuous hours.
We hope to have a regular deputy for regular hire at a salary
of $365.00, to become effective on or around November 1, 1962.
The above changes would be within our Current Budget.
I
Thanking you for your usual cooperation, I am,
Very Respectfully Yours,

Sheriff, Calhoun County, Texas

hereby acknowledg that the Commissioners' Court of the said County
has notified me to file suit for the collection of delinquent
taxes in said county; however, due to the fact that it would be
physically impossible for me to personally file and handle such
suits, and at the same time to properly discharge the other duties
of my office, and to the further fact that the statutes do not
provide adequate compensation for a County Attorney to file and to
prosecute sutts for delinquent taxes, but do make adequate provi-
sions for other attorneys to handle the same, I do hereby decline
to file such suits and do hereby waive the thirty days written
notice provided in Article 7335, Revised Civil Statutes, and do
hereby agree that the Commissioners' Court of said County may con-
tract with some other competent attorney to enforce or assist in
the enforcement of the collection of delinquent State and County
Taxes.

ing and pushing to a speedy conclusion all suits for the collection

WITNESSETH
1.
First Party agrees to employ and does hereby employ Second Party
to enforce by suit or otherwise, and to aid.and assist the local
officers in the enforcement of the collection of all delinquent
State and county ad va~Qrem taxes, penalty and interest, and all
delinquent taxes, penalty and interest (except taxes of indepen-
dent school districts and incorporated cities and towns) due any

linquent. And further, with reference to taxes not now delin-
quent, but which become delinquent during the term hereof, or.
taxes which may have fallen delinquent on February 1st or sub-
sequent thereto next preceding the date of the contract, it is I
agreed that where suit is or has been brought on any property
for prior taxes , Second Party shall include in his action all
taxes on the property involved, delinquent before trial, whether

I
Gentlemen:
This letter. is to repeat and explain the offer I made to
Judge Hartzog a week ago through Leonard Fisher concerning
the Calhoun Memorial Hospital, and to tell you why it has
come .so late in. the year.
My offer to the people of Calhoun County, if the name of the
Calhoun Memorial is changed to the Champ Traylor Memorial. is
to pay you $lSO,OOO.OO within two years, $50,000.00 to be paid
down now, this December, and the $100,000.00 within eighteen
months from date; more likely during 1963 as I would prefer.
I was ready to make this offer to you in 1960, but Hurricane
Carla set me back two years in income, and it was only the
very last of this past September that I knew definitely I
had enough money to make this offer, and I am calling your
attention to how little time we have to act. If you do not
accept my offer within a week or ten days I will have to give
this money to the hospitals of this county.
I
I want to do something for all the people of Calhoun County
in memory of my husband, Champ Traylor, and this is the best
way to do it. It COncerns every person in Calhoun County and
not just one body of people. '
If the hospital were named for my husband, I would, of course,
continue to give it generous contributions as long asI live.
As you know, I am in the higher tax bracket, as was my husband
before me., All my income is from Calhoun County and I would
like to give some of this money back to the people of this
county.
You are fortunate in having only one hospital in your county.
There are five here in DeWitt, and like yours are hampered for
funds to keep up with the growing needs of expansion.
Trusting you will give this matter immediate attention and let
me hear from you, I am
Yours very truly,

COUNTY AIRPORT - PLANNING AND FINANCE COMMITTEES
I
The following representatives of the County Airport Planning
and Finance Committee met with the Court: Craig Dickey, Ed
Eckert; Virgil Townley, Perry Johnson, Billy Zwerschke, Lamar
Marshall, John Faubion, Howard Motley, Bob Barry and Les Moberly.
Whereupon Billy Zwerschke presented the findings of his committee
as to costs, etc. and a discussion by various persons of the
proposal ensued. The County Auditor presented the financial
situation of the County. Matters of proposed sites and finance
were discussed at length. Members of the Finance Committee agreed
that if approval of application for Federal assistance is given
it should be with the understanding that completion of project
(ie. Bond Issue) would be contingent upon several factors, all
incorporated in the financial outlook of the County, such as
the cost of operation of the new hospital and oil valuations.
In July or August, 1963, a review as to the financial situation
of the County would determine whether or not a bond issue would
be called previous to December, 1963. Subject to ~he above condi-
tions the Planning and Finance Committee agreed to endorse the
application to secure commitment of Federal assistance which I
would be contingent upon County participation prior to December,
1963; Otherwise, Federal funds would be withdrawn from allot-
ment to the County Airport, and the County Judge is authorized
to execute the application.

Gentlemen:
A committee of the following men met at 2:00 P. M. February 13, 1963,
for the purpose of examining the bid proposals which were submitted
on February 11, 1963, and which related to the purchase of communi-
cations equipment for Calhoun County Civil Defense employment: Mr.
Clayton . Toalson, Civil Defense Director; Mr. Stan Baldwin, Manager of
Vumore TV Cable; Mr. Bob Herndon, Civil Defense Communications Officer;
Mr. Clement Roberts, Alcoa Radio Coordinator; Mr. John Holmes Communi-
cation Engineer for Vumore. The Committee respectfully recommends the
acceptance of the following bids for reasons indicated:
Electronics Equipment and Engineering Company

1 ea. receiver, Hallicrafter SX 117
Total Bid
$429.50
229.95
$659.45
I
The committee felt that the bid of the Electronic Equipment and
Engineering Company should be accepted since their proposal was the
low bid of the five received. The bid was $325.55 below the govern-
ment approved estimate.
Motorola Communications and Electronics Inc.
2 mobile 100 watt transmitter-receiver
1 mobi~e 18 watt relay station
9 mobile 18 watt transmitter-receiver
1 station antenna with bracket, 400' cable and
diplexor

1132.50
$7765.04
Total Bid
300 . 75
$7464.29
It was recognized that the Motorola bid was $917.40 higher than I
the low bid submitted by General Electric; however, the committee
took cognizance of the power differential of the nine low watt
mobile units. It was noted that General Electric proposed to
provide 15 watt equipment, whereas, Motorola bid on 18 watt equip-
ment. Other factors which motivated the group to favor the Motorola
equipment included:
I
Ar-.~
;)." LJ L.: S
a. All communications facilities presently being operated by
the city and county fire and law enforcement agencies are of Motor-
ola manufacture.
b. Motorola has authorized service personnel in the immediate
area (Victoria),
c. It was reasoned that in the interest of stocking parts, all
equipment should be of a single manufacture.
Respectfully submitted,
(s) Clayton E. Toalson
The Court having read the recommendations concerning the purchase of
radio equipment, motion was made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by
00 Commissioner Kabela, and unanimously carried that the bids, as recom-
en mended, be and are hereby accepted and ordered purchased.

BIDS AND PROPOSALS - CIVIL DEFENSE EQUIP. AND FURNITURE

Mr. James Houlihan
Calhoun ,County
Port Lavaca, Texas
Dear Mr. Houlihan:
It is a pleasure for me to quote you the following prices on the
IBM Selectric Typewriter. This price on one IBM Model 725 l5~"
Selectric for the county, $445.50, tax exempt, with the color
and type style of your choice.
The IBM.Selectric is a completely new concept in electric type-
writers that will provide you with more useable speed, meaning
more production for your Civil Defense office. The Selectric
single element will prevent stacking and jamming of type, caus-
ing error-free typing. The elimination of a moving carriage
gives you the most dependable electric typewriter on the mar-
ket today, providing faster tabulation action for statistical
typ ing .
The IBM.Selectric with a single typing element gives you more I
versatility than any other machine presently on the market.
By simply interhchanging typing elements you have a machine
with a type design to do any application in your office, .whether
it be from stencils to form typing to standard proposal typing.
The versatility of the Selectric is a plus feature that I know
you will find very useful in your office.
I know that you will agree, Mr. Houlihan, that the IBM Selectric
is your best investment in office typing. The Selectric offers
you the most productive typewriter in the work with more useable
speed than any other typewriter presently marketed. It gives
you more accuracy in the fact that the typist does not stack
or jam the type. It offers you versatility because of the enter-
changea~le type styles designed to do every application.
I look forward to serving you.
Sincerely,
(s) Ray Burns

PETITION - PORT O'CONNOR - PRECINCT NO. 4
To the Calhoun County Commissioners Court
Port Lavaca, Texas
Gentlemen:
I
We, the undersigned taxpayers and residents of Port O'Connor
respectfully call your attention to the conditions existing
on the Matagorda Bay Front Street in Port O'Connor, which
along with most of the land between this street and the water
belong to Calhoun County. Fine, shifting, dune type sand has
been dredged from Matagorda Bay onto this County property and
has shifted or drifted over the road and partially onto adja-
cent private property to a depth of three (3) and four (4) feet
in places, resulting in damage to such property and continuous
,removal costs for the property owners while the private homes
on this property are coated inside with fine sandy dust after
periods of high winds"
It has been the practice of Calhoun County, for many years, to
be concer.ned with the condition and upkeep of the roads, streets,
and County-owned waterfront property in and around Port O'Connor
and to provide suitable access roads for taxpayers to reach their
property and adequately safeguard such property from damage due
to hazards such as the shifting sand conditions now existing on
the Matagorda Bay Front Street.
With due respect, we most urgently request that the Commissioners I
Court of Calhoun County take these conditions under your immediate
consideration and take necessary action to pave the Matagorda Bay
Front Street and remove these shifting sands at once, correcting
these unsatisfactory conditions which are of vital concern to all
living in this community.

ROAD PETITION - OLIVIA FRONT STREET - HEARING
Mr. Frank C. Moore, petitioner, represented by .Bob Seerdan,
Attorney, and a group represented by Mr. George F. Rhodes and
Mr. Bernard Athey, Attorneys, met with the Court for a hearing on
the petition to open and maintain Front Street in Olivia. Mr.
Seerdan presented arguments for the petitioners to open Front
Street. Petitioners request Front Street to be opened by re-
moving any obstructions such as boat basins and buildings on
and across the street, leaving the street so as it could be
used by the public for automobile traffic and/or foot traffic.
Mr. George F. Rhodes representing the opponents to the petition
to open Front Street objected to the petition to open on the
basis that the persons signing same were not owners ,and resi-
dents of Olivia except Mr. Frank C.Moore and that none were
owners of land adjacent and abutting to Front Street. Mr.
Rhodes presented a petition to close certain streets and read
same as follows:.
THE STATE OF TEXAS l
l
COUNTY OF CALHOUN l
TO THE HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS COURT OF SAID COUNTY:
The undersigned, being eight or more freeholders
in Precinct No. 3 of said Calhoun County, Texas, hereby petition
said Commissioners to discontinue, abandon and close the follow-
ing portion of certain designated streets in said precinct, to-wit:
1. Front Street, from an East-West line connecting
the NE corner of Block 37 and the mean higher high tide mark of
Keller Bay, in a Southerly direction to the SW corner of Block
50 and the mean higher high tide mark of Keller Bay.
2. "c" Street, from an East-West line connecting
the SW corner of Block 39 and the SE corner of Block 38, in a
Southerly direction to SW corner of Block 51 and SE corner of
Block 50.
3. Third Street, from an North-South line con-
necting the SW corner of Block 37 to~he NW corner of Block 49,
in an Easterly direction to the intersection of said Third Street
and "D" Street.

4. Second Street, from a North-South line con-
necting the SW corner of Block 49 to the NW corner of Block 50
in an Easterly direction to intersection of said Second Street
and "D" Street.
The above described streets we~e dedicated to
the Townsite of Olivia in the year of 1893, and said streets
have never been opened for public use and convenience. There
has existed for several years fences qown the center of Second
and Third Streets, and said fences intersect and cut off both
Front and"C" Streets. There will be no property owner denied
ingress or egress, now will any part of any County or State
highway be closed, vacated, discontinued or abandoned. There
is no public necessity for the continuance of such portion of
said streets.
Wherefore, the undersigned pray that after ,due
no~icecof this petition has been given as required by law, said
Commissioners' Court enter an order discontinuing, abandoning,
and closing the above described streets.

He stated further, that there was never a government of Olivia
and since there never has been, the jurisdiction lies with the
Commissioners' Caurt to close said streets.
Mr. McThurmon, a representative of Amerada Petroleum Company,
stated the Company would not desire for Front Street to be opened
due to excessive cost of lowering their. high pressure gas lines
and danger of public endangering lives and property by possible
damage that might occur from vandalism.
Mr. G. H. Wilson stated that he had lived in Olivia since 1906.
That 4th Street was now open and that Front Street has never
been locally recognized as a street.
Mr. Seerdan presented opposition to the petition to close Front
Street and other streets, further stating that there was no
opposition to closing streets other than Front Street. Mrs.
Buggs stated their position in utilizing their property and a
boat slip across Front Street. Mr. Moore pointed out some of
the petition signers who were owners of land in Olivia Townsite.

ROAD PETITION - STREETS IN OLIVIA - PRECINCT NO. 3
I
Motion by Commissioner Lindsey, seconded by Commissioner Kabela,
and carried, that the following order be entered:
WHEREAS, on this the 9th day of April, 1963, there were duly
presented, and came on for a hearing by the Commissioners'
Court of Calhoun County, Texas, two petitions. One by Frank
Moore and others requesting the Court to open and maintain
all of Front Street from the State Highway Park on the South
to an intersection with Seventh Street on the. North and order
the removal of structures from and on said Front Street, of
the Olivia Townsite, map is recorded in Volume 2, Page 532
of the deed records of Calhoun County, Texas.
A second petition of Floyd N. Bugg, Sr., and others, as owners
of property described as Blocks. 37, 38, 39, 48, 49., 50 and 51
of the Townsite of Olivia, Calhoun County, Texas, requesting
the permanent closure of Second and Third Streets between Front
Street and "D" Street, "c" Street between First Street and Third
Street, and all of that part of Front Street from the intersection
with First Street on the South and the intersection with Fourth I
. Street on the North, and
WHEREAS, there came all of the owners of said property fronting
on said street, with the exception of the Texaco Oil Company,
whose representatives, by telephone, certified approval of such
closure, and
WHEREAS, the Court finds, that in regard to the first petition,
that it is impractical to maintain said street, because of erosion
since 1893 most of said right of way is now below the line of the
higher high tide, and its reconstruction would involve unjusti-
fiable expenditure and is opposed by the abutting property owners.
That with regard to the second petition, the Court finds that the
same has been duly published, as provided by Law; that the Court
has jurisdiction; that such streets for which closure is requested,
although dedicated by a plat of record, filed in 1893, such streets
right of way has never been formally accepted by the Commissioners'
Court, opened ,or maintained by the County; that the town of Olivia
has never been incorporated and the control of such streets are
under the jurisdiction of the Commissioners'Court; that the
petitioning property owners are the sole and only abutting pro- I
perty owners upon such street; that the other property owners
in said Townsite and subdivisions will have access by other
connecting streets which are now open and no injustice will be
done by the closure of such streets for which closure is request-
ed - provided all, existing rights for pipelines and utility ease-
ments are reserved.
THEREFORE IT IS ORDERED, that the property owners petitioning
such closure shall have prepared a plat of said Olivia Townsite,
disclosing the streets which are to be closed, the additional
331
acreage returned to said abutting owners, and file the same with
the County Tax Assessor-Collector for re-assessment purposes and
record the same, after approval of the Court, in the map and plat
records of Calhoun County, Texas.
I
That upon the filing of such records, it is ordered that all of
the right of way area as Second and Third Streets between Front
Street and "D" Street, "c" Street between First Street and Third
Street, and all of that part of Front Street from the intersection
with First Street on the South and the intersection with Fourth
Street on the North, be and the same is ordered closed as public
streets, and the acreage to the middle of each original street
thereof be returned to the adjacent owners, except nothing here-
in,contained shall prejudice the easement rights of pipelines or
electrical utilities as heretofore granted or maintained along
said street rights of way.

LIGHTING OF HIGHWAY 35 CAUSEWAY APPROACHES
Ed Echert, Manager of the Chamber
Court concerning the illumination
Causeway.
of Commerce, met with the
of the approaches to the
Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County
Gentlemen:
I
Your Streets and Highway Committee of the Port Lavaca Chamber of
Commerce have been studying means of improving the safety to the
new causeway. It has been an unanimous opinion that every effort
be made to have the approaches, from both the Point Comfort and
Port Lavaca side, illuminated. Many of our citizens must cross
this causeway daily at all hours of the da~ and night, and in
all kinds of weather.
We have been in contact with officials of the state highway
department and it seems that they are permitted this expenditure
only under certain conditions and this structure does not meet
their requirements" however, they do not dispute the need for
these safety measures.
I
This committee. has talked with numerous citizens in the county
and it has their overwhelming support. Many teenagers from Point
Comfort must cross this causeway on their dates and to attend
special high school activities after dark and we wish to provide
for their safety so far as possible. It is further anticipated
a large increase in traffic from vacationers, increased workload
in the Point Comfort areas as well as an overall increased traffic
on the "hug the. coast" highway. Therefore, the above named com-
mittee urge this body to take such steps necessary to secure the
proper lighting of the causeway approaches on both the Port Lavaca
and Point Comfort sides of the causeway.
Respectful~y submitted,

The Court pointed out that while they were in accord with the
need of lighting,the approaches, the Court by Law cannot spend
County money on State Highway property. The Court agreed to
assist in any lawful way and would send the information to the
Texas Highway Department.

R. K. TURPIN - PIPELINE RIGHT OF .WAY - MAGNOLIA BEACH
R. K. Turpin met with the Court concerning pipeline right o:E
way crossing his property at Magnolia Beach and crossing of a
County road in the contiguous area an~ requested the Court
not to grant right of way across. the County road since the
Pipeline Company was not following the route originally pro'.
posed. The Court pointed out that according to reported court
cases the County had little or no authority concerning pipe'.
line right of way other than reasonable requirements as to the
depth of the line; however, requests for right of way along
or across County roads have been granted by the County in the
past as an attempt to control crossings so as not to interfere
with traffic.
