This same procedure is required to be car- ried out in case of any extension or renewal prolonging the ccntract. If a waiver is given a contract may be entered into without awaiting the thirty day period. In case the attorney is not in a position to oomply with the court's 9rder, and fails or refuses to file written waiver and a contract is entered into after the expiration of e thirty days, a oertified copy of tl).e order of the commissio~er's oourt directing the oounty attorney to bring suit, together with a certified copy of a subsequent order of said court showing that the county attorney had failed or refused to co~ply with the court's t:ormer order, should accompany the contract when sent for approval.

Cavassos League in Calhoun County, Texas, known or designated as Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6, of Block 168, of the Alamo Beach Farm Lots, according to the map of s.aid subdivision of record in,the County Clerk's Office of Calhoun Caunty, Texas, said map being af recard in Volume V, page 00, of the Deed Records of Calhoun County, Texas, said land consist- ing of 80 acres of land, more or less. The aforesaid de~cription af such property shall hereinafter be designated as "acreage." On the 20th day of April, 1928, the Port Lavaca Land and Immigration Company subdivided~ the aforesaid acreage into 1,1!~4 lots, the map or plat of the aforesaid subdivision being duly recorded in Volume Z, page 55, of the Deed Records, af Calhoun County, Texas, reference ) / - II to said pla~ and to the record thereof being here made for all purposes. ~. ,-'"" III All of the right, title and interest of,R~~L.

None of the lots in said Port Lavaca Land and Immigration Company subdivision were ever -, saId other than to your petitioner, and all of said land, acreage and lots are at the date of these presents owned by yaur petitioner, and it is therefore not necessary for any parties ., other than your petitioner to join in this application.

The Port Lavaca Land and Immigration Company subdivision is not situated in any in- corporated town or village, and there is no further need for said subdivision as the land included in said sub-division is in an actual state of cultivation and should be assessed for taxes on an acreage basis and should always have been so assesse~. VI. In order to assess this land as acreage property upon the tax rolls of Calhoun County, Texas, it is necessary that said Port Lavaca Land and Immigration Company subdivision be cancelled and the said 80 acres of land be thrown back into acreage property and/or tracts as e the same existed before such subdivision was made. VII. The land covered by the aforesaid Port Lavaca Land and Immigration Company subdivision may be, at the date of these presents, delinquent for taxes for certain preceding years and your petitioner prays that this Honorable Court, in addition to granting petitioner's prayer for cancellation permit petitioner to pay delinquent taxes, if any, on such property after reassessment of said land on an acreage basis in the same manner and form as if said lands had not been sub-divided by the Port Lavaca Land and Immigrat~on Company. Petitioner further requests that this Honorable Court direct that the County Assessor of Taxes back assess such lands upon an acreage basis. VIII. Wherefore, premises considered, your' petitioner prays that notice of this application be given in t~e manner and form required by Article 7227, of the Revised Civil Statutes of 'fexas (1925~,,' andthat on hearing of this application an order be entered in the minutes of the Court authorizing, ordering and decreeing the following: l~ Cancellation of all of that subdivision known as the Port Lavaca Land and Immigra- tion Company subdivision and coincident therewith the throwing back of said land comprised in said Port Lavaca Land and I~~igration Company subdivision into acreage as the same existed e before said subdivision was made and in such manner that the same shall be known as set out in Paragraph I hereof; 2) Payment of delinquent taxes, if any, on said land on a back assessed acreage basis, and in the same manner and form as if said lands had never been subdivided; and 3) The County Assessor of Taxes to be directed to back assess such lands upon an acre- age basis. , /s/ George F.

" 289' ~ r OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS AUSTIN, TEXAS INSTBUCTIONS NECESSARY FOR MAKING , DELINQUENT TAX CONTRACTS UNIFORMITY OF MOST IMPORTANCE 'All contracts for the collection of delinque.nt -State and County taxes should be uniform in make-up and executed in triplicate, or quadruplicate, if fourth copy is desired. The Comptroller's Department keeps a mimeographed ~upply of the form of contract prepared under the direction of the Attorney General and the Comptroller, and counties desiring to enter into such contracts are requested not to present typewritten copies for approval, e but to secure and use mimeographed copies of our latest revised form which will be furnished from this office. It is only after the COlnmissioners' Court has given thirty days written notice to the County Attormey or to the District Attorney, ,in case there is no County Attorney in the CCl1mty, to file delinquent tax suits and the failure of said Attorney to do so wi thin said period that the court has authority to enter into a contract pertaining to the collection of delinquent taxes, unless the County or District kttorney, as the case may be, should waive his ri{;ht to the thirty days' notice. This same procedure is required to be carried ~ out in case of any exy~nsion or renewal prolonging the contract. If a waiver is given, a contract may be entered into without awaiting the thirty day period. In case the Attorney is not in a position to comply with the Court's order, and fails or refuses to file written waiver and a contract is entered into after the expiration of thirty days, a certified copy of the order of the Commissioners' Court directing the County Attorney to bring sui t, together with a certified copy of a subsequent order of said court showing that the County Attorney had failed or refused to comply with the Court's former order, should accompany the contract when sent for approval. Condition No.l, or No.2, in the first paragraph of this contract should be struck out, accordillg to whether waiver is, or is not, given. The State officials much prefer a waiver, for the reason it indicates cooperation and harmony among the County officials, which is essential to obtain best results. e- A form of waiver and of resolution and order has been prepared for the accommodation of the County Attorney and the COYIJ.'11issioners' Court respectively,;_ Copies of these forms will be furnished with the contract forms ahd can be used if desired.

PURPOSE: Said district shall be organized for the purpose of makinG' drainage improvements of the above described lands. V. PUBLIC UTILITIES: e The construction, e'nlargement and impro vement of drainage ditches upon the natural watersheds and the cleaning out and widening of existiniS cr.eeks, rivers, ditches and bayous will be of public utility by accelerating the flow of excess waters and provide necessary facilities for draining the lands within the district which are now suhject to overflow and inundation, and will abate and amend harmful excesses of water throughout the district. VI. NECESSI 'I'Y: There is necessity for the improvements above described for the reason that the territory to be included in said proposed district is in an area of high rainfall, is flat wi th inadequate means or facili ties of drainage of harmful excesses of water from rainfall and from the overflow of the creeks, ditches and bayous. VII. REASIBILITY AND PRACTICABILITY: Said proposed improvements are feasible an~ practical in that the terrain of the " territory to be included in the proposed district constitutes the watershed of the Little Chocolate Creek and Lynn'S Bayou and is of such a nature that existing drainage ditches, creeks, bayous and other outlets can be cleaned out, straiirhtened, widened and leveled so as to increase the rate of discharge of the waters flowing into such drainage facilities, . and additional drainage ditches can be constructed in such a way as to accelerate and coord- inate the flow of excess waters within the proposed.district and thereby shorten the period of time now required to drain the territory within the district after heavy rains and to prevent the spread and overflow of water in the existing creeks, ditches, bayous and rivers within said territory.

The two instruments found indexed conveying title to any part of Tract 7 were both to one W. C. Weathers, The first instrument, a Contact of Sale signed by P. Co' proctor and W.

'" By subraction of the la above cited Fi~ld noted from the Field Notes of the whole of Tract No.7, that Title has not passed by Conveyance to the following described Tract of land, that is to say: All that certain tract or parcel of land out of and a p~rt of Tract No.7 of the Sub- division of the Calhoun County School Lands League No. 11, Abstract #I21 Patent No .!~92 Vol. 22, patented Aug. 12, 1878, sometimes known as the Upper League, as per plot drawn by John W.

W. B/L of said Mizzell Survey, Thence S 250 E along the B/1 of said Mizzell Survey a distance oflllO Varas to the place of beginning. There is a question as to the exact location of the land on the ground, and there is some indication that the exact acreage may be in doubt, but since the field notes in the deed ~o ~. C. Weather~ w?uld be the original survey, and since no Imd could be lost through c0nfllctlng surveys, l t lS your County Surveyors opinion that Calhoun C01:nty could ri ghtfully,. assert title ta all land called for in the original Field Notes by retracing the steps of the original surveyors and re-establishing the corners called for in the.original Survey. From the above it will be seen that any claim to title residing in A. J. Brumbaugt must have descended from W. C. Weathers and not from S. J. Speer as asserted by Attorney ~akman. The deed from Calhoun County to S. J. Speer clearly defines Tract No. b with the following description taken from Deed from Calhoun County recorded Vol. 154, page 458, Montague County Deed Records. e "Beginning at the North corner of Subdivision No.1., Thence N. 430 W 552 Varas a stone for corner in the S.W. B. line of a Mizzell Survey Thence N 650 W 1391 Varas a stone Thence S 47g w 90 Varas a stone Thence S 43 E 848 Varas a stone in N.W.B. line of No.2. Thence N ~.70 E 1425 Varas to place of beginning." "In conversation with Attorney Eakmal, it was discovered that.,the Security Abstract and Title Co. of Montague, Texas had prepared an Abstract of Title to the property claimed by A. J. BrUlllbaugh, and that the Abstractor had prepared the Field Not8s for the 57.5 acre Tract under question. It was also discO-vered that the above referred to Abstract of Title was in the handsof Attorney Glenn O. Wilson,o"f:'Hocona, TexHs, who had wri,tten an Opinion for his client, who proposed to purchase the land from A. J. Brumbaugh. In conversation with Attorney Wilson it was discovered that in Attorney Wilson's opinion the Title to the land under question still resided in Calhoun County, and that title to the land had not been lost by Limitation or adverse claim. From various sources of information it was determined that the land under question has a market value of around 1~40.00 per acre for the Surface only, and that Royalty is around $30.00 per Acre. Attorney Wilson stated that he thought his client might pay as much as ~50.00 per acre and allow Calhoun County to retain one-half of Royalty. On this basis the 82 acres to which Calhoun County apparently could establish title would have an actual market value in excess of $5000.00. Prospecting for oil is general over all Montague County and adjoining tracts are now under lease to Major Companies, but this land is not now under lease due to title .diff~cultie: II. FINDINGS IN .CALHOUN COUNTY RECORDS e By reference to "Invento:!:y'_of County Records" Calhoun County, Texas compiled and Publish- ed by Historical Records Survey, a W.P.A. Project under the Supervision of the und~rsigned, A Volume entitled "School Land Records" was found in t he Count y Clerk's Office, a volUllle of letter copies was found in the Treasurer's office. The School Land Records Book sets up names and addresses of p,lnchasers of School .lm ds and the amounts paid and due, and cites if and when final deed were forwarded. The informa- tion as to acreage and tracts sold is incomplete. Photoprint copies of all pertinent materi~ in the Volume have been prepar~d by yort Lavaca Abstract Company, and are available for study and future reference. The "Letter Book" has been filmed on 35 ml11 film in order to preserve the record, but copies were not made at this time as apparently all pertinent information found in the letter copies is also available in the "School Land Record" Book. A page by page search of the Minutes Commissioner Court has been made by the undersigned and photoprint copies of every reference to School Lands have been prepared and these copies are available for study and future reference. III. Summary . The Calhoun County Records show sales to W. C. Weathers and to S. J. Speer as indicated by the Montague County records, but there is nothing in the Calhoun County rec~ds to indicatE that A. J. Brumbaugh is entitled to receive a quit-claim deed to 57.5 acres as requested by his Attorney Mr. L. D. Eakman. The balance of Tract No.7 not sold to W. C.,Weathers, whi,ch balance amc>unts to 82 acres of land does not appear to have been sold to anyone, of this 82 acres of land, 22! acres apparently is being claimed by Roy Maxwell, and the balance is being claimed by A. J. Brum- baugh. It is noted that in Vol. C. on pase 537 of the Minutes of Commissioners Court dated 1897 that an order appears autlwrizing the sale of the 82 acr8S under question to one J. N. Woods, but there is nothing of record in Calhoun County to indicate that the sale was consumated. This order shows clearly that the said 82 acres was not owned by any purchaser from Calhoun c.o.unty'-0n.=thfbghQ.~ ci~~. - L.4i "... "'oi....',. ::'mVl A study of the records available in Calhoun County indicate.that Ratification deeds were never given on the following tracts sold under Purchase Contracts: 1. Patrick Harughty, Clay Co. No. 24 'ref p. 8 S. L.R. . 2. 'J. D. Bybee, Montague No. 21 or 2? ref p,'47 S. L.R. 3. J. A. Ma~tin, Montague No. l2 Upper League Ref p. 66 s. L. R.' 4. w. B. Washam, Henrietta ? Ref p. 68, s. L. R. In asmuch as the records available in Calhoun County do not show the acreage sold nor the Tract Numbers it is impossible to determine from the Calhoun County Records w4at lands were finally conveyed and what lands may yet belong to Galhoun Co~n~y. The recorded Deeds in Clay and Montague__Counties must furnish the answer, _as they have in the Case of the particular 57.5 acre ,tract. It would appear that the Ratification Deeds issued by order of the. Commissioners Court prior to this date were in order, andtllat no lands have been lost to Calhoun County to this date by the issuance of such deed. F IV. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the Records of Montague and Clay County be carefully examined and each and . every deed out of Calhoun County be copied, in order that the acreage conveyed milY be defini te' y and accurately established, so' that any and all lands not finally conveyed out '"of Calhoun County may be identified. - 2. That any and all lands to which Calhoun. County retains title be fully and completely Abstracted and surveyed on the ground in'order that the proper legal'steps may be takend to safeguard the interests of Public School FundS, which actions the Commissioners Court and CAlhoun County as Trustees of the Public School Lands are required by Law to perform., - Charles w. Hodges County Surveyor. The foregoing beport having been duly received and considered upon motion made by - . . Commission Barton and seconded by Commissioner Kemper the County Surveyor was authorized and directed to proceed to Montague County'for a further survey of such county school land to asertain the.full extent of the County's ownership if-my to prepare an abstract of the record and submit the same to R'. 'A. Barton, County Attorney of Calhoun .";ounty, to determine the necessary steps in asertlng proclaiming and defending the ownerslup fo the same for the use and benefit of our permanent school fund and it was ordered at-the foregoing report be filed in the minutes of the COmmiss~~:e:~_?~U~~_f~r~a:l_~~r~o~e:;_ _ Upon motion made and duly seconded by Commissioner Kemper and Commissioner Griffith It as ordered that the survey made by the county Surveyor of the new addition to the Seadrift Bmetry be approved and ordered filed for record. " f:!' - - - - - - - On motion made by Commissioner Grrffith and seconded by Commissioner Kemper the Treasurer~s for the month of June was ordered approved. COUNTY AGENT , Mr. Young, District vounty Agent, presented the application of Mr. C. L. Cook of Wilson -- ounty to succeed to the position left vacant by the resignation of the able Bob Lilly whose salary ha~heretofore because of his proved ability and energJ, had been from time to time increased until his salary was finally raised to $2400.00. Mr. Young requested that Mr. Cook be paid the same salary, that kr. Cook had made andable man.in Wilson County and that his only .,--" !res.son for applying for this position was because the attractiveness of the salary here paid. Upon motion made by Clarence Barton seconded by Frank Kemper it was moved that Mr. Cook be offered a salary of $1800.00 per year and that he be granted twov weeks in which to accept '.."d' r reject the o~fer. After a conference between Mr. Youn~ and llir. Cook, Mr. Cook notified the court that he rOUld accept the offer made, thereupon upon motion made by Commissioner Frank Wedig and second d ~y Commissioner @riffith, Mr. C, L.

TEXAS HI GHW A Y DEP AR TMENT Yoakum, Texas August 14, 1952 Honorable Howard Hartzog County Judge, Calhoun County Port Lavaca, Texas e Dear Judge hartzog: A short time ago Mr. King, Sr. Resident Enginerr, advised me th~t he had discussed with you the matter of obtaining right-of-way for a one-mile section of ro ad south of Powderhorn Lake at the same time you secure right-or-way for the authorized project indicated above. Under the policy raid down by the state Highway Commission, we cannot ask the County to secur right-of-way beyond the limits of a project which has been approved for construction. If thel County feels that it would like to secure the right-of-way on the one-mile relocation section' south of Powderhorn Lake on their own initiative, there should apparently be no objection. I is believed that we should now secure an official expression from the County as to its wishesl to continue this project on a future program. I think we can arrive at an understanding whicfu will satisfy both the County and the State Highway Commission. Accordingly, I would like to ~ suggest that, if this meets with the approval of you and the Commissioners' Court, you furnish us with a resolution to the effect that you will be agreeable to construction of the bridge ~ and the entire relocation, at least, as number one priority on the next programs to be formul~t ed between Calhoun County and the Stat e. Thi s would eliminate any cb ubt as to the advi sabili ty of stopping the proposed project on the north shore when the right-of-way for needed relocation to the south of the lake is unobtained. ! We will be in a position to discuss with you, in the not distant future, a new program of Farm- to-Market Roads under the Federal Aid Bill for the next biennium. If further information is desired, please advise. Yours very truly M. G. Cornelius /S/ MGC:hd CC. Mr. W. A. King M. G.

M. Little Survey, Calhoun County, frexas _ They have received Tax Statement No. 3803 from B. Roll page 192 line 25 and Tax Statement No. 4175 from the D Roll page 233 line 5. Through error there has been a$2,890 mineral value included on this well and $700 on the royalty; whereas, all that should have been placed on this well as of January 1, 1952, was an equipment value of $1750. Nothing should have been ~ placed against the minerals as this is not a commercial well as in the present completed sec- tion and therefore only the equipment taxes. I suggest that you void the assessment against the minerals, leaving total value against Producers Investment company of $1,750. - Thanking you for your usual kindly attention and with kindest regards we remain wff-Is yours very truly, cc Carlton Meredith Kirby Building Dallas, Texas.

(1) The assessed vWluation for County tax purposes has been rising steadily in Calhoun listing below the valuatilns County for the past sevel'al years. As evidence or this fact, we are appearing on the County Tax Rolls for the following years --- Tax rloll Assessed Valuation 1949 1950 1951 1952 11,180,470.00 19, 107,568.00 20,994,460.00 23,193,894.00 e (2) During this period of steady increases in the valuations our tax collection his- , tory has maintained a constant level. For your information we are listing belo1-l a tabu1-" tion showing the percentage of collection on each of the current tax ~ rolls ouring the past several \rears--- Tax rloll -~- ~- -f....-/ ~/ Percentage of Collection ~ ./,.- 1949 1950 ./' 96.33 98.38 1951 99.06 During the months of Uctober and November, 1952 approximately 88.61~ or the 1952 curr'ent taxes were collected. (3) Due to the rate of increase in the valuation and by virtue of the high collection ~atio which these valuaticn bases mada possible, the Commissicners' Court has been able to operate the County on the rollowing tax rates per $100 vaQuation --- e Tax Roll County Tax Rate ~ 1949 .80 ~ i..' , / ~ 441 ~-~--~T- 1950 1951 1952 .75 .75 .70 (4) With our present valuation and our present tax rate we have been able to accrue substantial balances in the various County funds and we have enough money on hand to provide the ordinary and necessary functions of County government without any adjustment in our fin- ancial structure. For the reasons stated above, we recommend that the Commissioners' Court take no regarding the proposed revaluation program. However, so that other avenues of approach probelem faced by the Independent School District may be explored, we are enclosing the action ! to the ~ follow- ing additional information which may be of assistance to you. We understand that the School Board has estimated that an additional $100,000.00 will be . required from tax revenues and to acquire this revenue has proposed raising the valuation for tax purposes. To raise this amount of money on the present school rate will require an addi- tional $8,000,000.00 val uation. 'l'he present' County valuation may be divided generally into three parts. ',: ", '1:i~. 1. Alcoa: Plant Calhoun Development Co. Lavaca Pipe Line Point Com.fort Railroad (Outside of Plant) 2. Oil: . Total of Form B Total or Form D 8,242,250.00 215,330.00 76,310,00 33,580.00 8,567,470.00 6,726,625.00 792,580.00 7,519,205.00 7,107,219,00 3. All other 23,193,894.00 The assessed valuatic.n of the Alcoa Plant was thoroughly investigated by the last , Board of Equalization and will probably not be subject to a raise except for additions to the present facilites. e The oil and public utility interests are handled by a firm of professional valuation engineers whose recommendations are accepted by the Commissioners' Court. . The only source open to the Gonnnissioners' Court directly as a means of revising the val uation structure is the remaining one third, which is represented by the land owners and I indi vidual taxpayers. This group could not, in our opinion, absorb an increase in t he amount J suggested. Another point to consider in contemplating an increase in tax revenues through the med! of increased valuation is the fact that the County Tax Assessor's revised figures would affec~ the taxes paid to a nurrber of other aGencies levying taxes in Calhoun County. We have segre- gat ad the taxpayers by Commissioners' Precincts in the following table and have shown the rates levied by the various agencies on the County valuation: Agency Pro 6 Pr.2 Pr.3 Pro 4 state .72 .72 .72 .72 e County. .70 .70 .70 .70 Rd. Dist. 1 Nain. .15 Drainage 8 .50 Drainage 6 1. 75 ___ l.-=- t... r' 442 Pro .3 Pr..4 .15 ~ Agency Rd. Dist. 4 Main. Rd. Dist. 1 Sinking Pro '1 Pro 2 .20 Drainage 7 .50 2.07 3.17 1.!.j.2 2.27 We wish to point out further that in the normal course of events the total valuation available for school tax purposes should approach $25,000,000.00 on the 1953 tax roll. By increasing the sbhool rate by 25 cents to the maximum of $1.50, a tbtal of $375,000.00 should be produced. ~his amount is some $89,113.00 more than the tax levied on the 1952 tax roll, ehich is approximately 89% of the amount estimated to be required. To raise the tax revenues in t his manner will not disturb the County's valuations whichare adequate for County purposes, and will not cost the taxpayers additional taxes to the other taxing units.

Howard Hartzog, County Judge, Calhoun County, Port Lavaca, Texas. Dear Judge Hartzog: We are enclosing a copy or Highway Commission Order No. 34958, which was passed on October 27, 1953, covering the by-pass ~n state Highway 35 near Port Layaca. You will note that the section covered by this minute extends rrom the intersection or US High- way 81 and State Highway 35, we:t or the City, to the east limits or the town or Point comrorJ. The route which has bee~recommended is to skirt the north edge or the Lynnhaven Addition, as discussed with you on the ground. You are aware or some or the development and discussion affecting this highway between Corpus . Christi and Houston. Perhaps our Austin Orfice viewp01nt can best be indicated by quoting ~e 1'rom the rollowing report to Mr. Greer, which was prepared by the Orfice of Road Design, cover.- ing this subject: "Problem "To determine the proper routing and general features for State Highway 35 in the vi cini ry or Port Lavaca. "Facts Bearing on the Problem . "The vicinity of the p resent crossing site of Lavaca Bay is the only practical site for a: . bridge across the bay. "The present route or State Highway 35 1'rom the junction with U.S. Highway 87 to a point near the causeway is narrow, circuitous and inadequate 1'or the present trarfic volume and cannot be expanded to adequate capacity. "The present causeway' is inadequate ror the present trarric volume (approximately 4,000 vehicles per day) and also ror the water trarric. "Discussion "It is estimated that if an adequate trarric racility existed between Houston and Corpus Christi a new two lane causewaY would be required,at once to serve an anticipated volume or 9,000 vehicles per day. It is also estimated that ir an adequate trarfic facility were .e in existence between Houston and Corpus Christi a rour lane causeway across Lavaca Bay would be required by 1965. A rour lane causeway' would be enormously expensive. A very rough estimate indicates the cost would be about seven million dollars. "We believe that right or way.ror the approaches to the Lavaca Bay crossing should be ac- . quired now and that this right-of-way should be sufricient to accommodate a raci1ity that would harmonize with a future four lane causeway.. "A future four lane causeway would accommodate more trarric than an facility built on a 1501 right or way could deliver. If the future rour lane causeway is not to become obso- lete by reason of congested approaches, the~a minimum' 230' right or way should be acquired "Port Lavaca's population increased 144.7% between 1940 and 1950. It appears to us that . development in this area will soon block the acquisition of right of way along a by-pass route. At the present time practically no development has taken place along the route of the proposed by-pass. Right or way costs at t he present time would be relatively inex- pensi ve. "REcommendat ions - "It is recommended that the request of the orricials or Calhoun Count y and Port Lavaca be . . granted prOVided that Calhoun County, the incorporated Cities of Port Lavaca and Point Comrort agree to: LilI1 ~5i74 "I. 'l'he limits or the proposed facility shall be from the east limits of Point Comfort to a point west of the intersection or State .Hihgway .35' and u.s. Highway 8.7 sufficient to provide satisractory interchange between these highways and a ruture railroad overpass. "2. To provide a minimum 239' right or way. "It is believed that a Commission minute with provision. for acceptance by Calhoun County, Port Lavaca and Point Comrort is necessary to implement these recommendations. A suggested minute is attached." . Ir further inrormation is desired at this time, please advise. MGC:hd Enclosure cc. Mr. W. A. King Yours very truly /S/ M. G. Cornelius M. G.

Calhoun County, Port Lavaca, Texas Gentlemen: 'Some several weeks ago; I met with your court and at that time we discussed the possibility o~ our bank paying you an interest fee on either the whole of your funds deposited w'ith us or on a portion of your funds deposited with us. You instructed me at that time to check into the feasibility of, perhaps, paying you on the basis of the lowest balance maintained in each account during anyone month and paying you one-half of 1% on this lowest balance. We have two proposals to make to you, either one of whtch we will be most nappy to work with you on. Proposal No. 1 is as follows: We will take the lowest balance in the four operating accounts during anyone month and pay ybu one~half of 1% on the lowest balance to which the account drops during that particular month. Proposal No.2: You may ear-mark any funds that you wish to set aside Which you consider to be surplus funds and we will pay your one-half of 1% on the average balance maintai ned on the ear-marked fund this being what you honestly ~onsider to be a surplus fund account and not to be checked on ~r deposited to except i~ effecjt- ~ng transfers to and from your operating accounts. Either I or my brother, Sam T. Faubion, will be most happy to meet with you at anytime and d~s- ou"' tho above with you or to try,to axpla'n furth~ what .. havo "antion.d in thi> l.tt~. 'I We have analyzed your accounts thoroughly for several years back and we honestly feel that one of the two above suggestions would be the most practical and feasible for both yourselves and for our bank -- being plans which would allow you a profit on your surplus funds and also wou]d compensate our bank for handling these funds. ," .. , Yours very truly, JNO. J. FAUBION. JR. rb Jno. J. Faubion. Jr. President On motion made by Clarence Barton, seconded ~y Frank Wedig, and unanimously carried the following resolution was adopted.
