THE STATE OF TEXASl
COUNTY OF CALHOUN 1
TO THE HONORABLE COI~1ISSIONERSt COuriT OF CALHOUl~ COUNTY, TEXAS:
we, the undersigned free hold resident tax payers within the boundaries. of thelDistric~
hereinafter described, in Calhoun County, Texas, respectfully petition your Honorable Court to '.'
establish a Conservation and Reclamation District of the territory herein described; said dis-'I
I trict to be established and organized as a Conservation and Reclamation District under: Chapter'
8, Title 128, Articles 8194 to 8197 inclusive, of the Revised Statutes of 1925, which Statutes
vlere formerly kno'lTn as the Canales Act, providing for the removal of all constitutional limi-
tations of indebtedness authorized to be incurred and taxes to be levied. Your petitioners
respectfully represent that the signers hereto are each free hold resident tax paying citizens
of the proposed Conservation and Reclamation Distx'ict, whose lands would be affected by the
creation of said district, and are more than tVlenty-five in number. That none of said terri-
tory is included within the boundaries of any other drainage district; that the drainage of
said proposed district is necessary in this,- that the land included within its boundaries is
flat, 10Vl and level and badly in need of drainage, that such drainage will be a. public utility
in that it would open said land and territory to cultivation and. make the S2.IlIe habitable and
susceptible of cultivation, and that same is feasible in this,- that the expense involved is
not prohibitive and the enhance'd value of' the land vrill far exceed the outlay of money, and.
that the lands within said pr'oposed district will be greatly benefited by said drainage and
will be made much more valuable for cultivation and other purposes, and that the drainage of
said land will gre8tly increase the healthfulness of said territory and improve the general livf
iug conditions of said territory. i
Your' petitioners therefore request that a Conservation and Reclamation DraInage District, ,
be established, and that the same be known as Drainage District No.7 of Calhoun County, Te:x:-.:
as, the boundaries of which shall be as follows, to-Ylit': "

County of Calhoun J
TO THE HONORABLE C01UdISSIONERS COURT OF CALHOUN COu~TY, TEXAS.
We, the undersigned freehold resident taxpayers wi thin the boundaries of the District here-
, inafter described, in Calhoun County, 'fexas, respectfully petition your Honorable Court to estab-
lish a Conservat~on and Reclamation District of the territory herein described; said district
,to establish and organized as a Conservation and Heclamation District under Chapter 8, Title 128',
Articles 8194 to 8197, inclusive, of the Revised Statutes of 1925, which Statutes were formerly
,!knovm as the Canales Act, providing for the removal of all li;;i tations of indebtedness author-
ized to be incurred and taxes to be levied.
""'

_",w
<,
Your petitioners respectfully represent that the signers hereto are each freehold resident
tax paying citizens of the proposed Conservation and Reclamation District, vlhose lands vlould be
affected by the creation of said district. That none of said territory is included within the
boundaries of any othel' d.raina~~e district; that the dI'ainage of said proposed district .is nec-
essary in this,- that the land included within its boundaries, is flat, low and. level and. badly'
in need of drainage; that such drainage will be a public utility in that it would open said
,land and territory to cultivation and make the same habitable and susceptible of cultivation, I
and. that same is feasible in this,- that the expense involved is not prohibitive and the enhanced
value of the land will far exceed the outlay of money, and that the lands within said proposed
district will be greatly benefited by said drainage and will be made more valuable for cultiva-
tion and other purposes, and that the drainage of said iand vlill greatly increase the heal thful~
,:ness of said territory and improve the general living condi tions of said territ,ory.
II . ,

\ Your petitioners therefore request that a Conservation and Reclamation Drainage District be "
established, and that the same be blovm as Drainage District No.8 of Calhoun County, Texas, the

Gentlemen:-
'Having been appointed by y,our honorable body, on October 16, 1929, to serve as your DIS-
l'RICT ENGINEN:{ ord.ered to make lrINAL R:=I'OR'f on DRAH:AGE DISTinCT {f8 I, J.E. Thayer, a Civil ]!;n-

DRAINAGE DIS~RICT f8, here as shown in preliminary report, .embraces an area of about
15920 acres, entirely within the Gommissioners Precinctffl, and consists of whole anQ parts of
the Original GIU\NTS, and ~urv~ys as show~ in detail by map and tabulation.
'J.:he area is good agricultural Ian':, practically all improved and about 1/4 under cultiva- "
tion, the last purchase prices being from ;;;;40. to $75'. pel' acre for improved farms. Gooc'., well:'
graded earth roads cross the district length-wise and crass-wise', with rural telephone xines,
which render travel and communication easy.
I
:J:he design of ditch dimensions are in conformity with certain reccommendations set ,forth
in .r2ports on the drainage investigations by the U.S. De}}artment of Agriculture. < A minimum
depth bottom to be not less< than.6 feet.
Ditches are located in a manner, as much as seems practicable, so as not to duplicate the
work now being carriec: on by the present road ditches by.paralleling same, but rather to cross
the road ditches and furnish: outlets for same, permitting them to perform real service for land
as .well as road drainage.
~he damages already created. ,by the uncontrolled waters are to be corrected, and the wet
waste lam at foothills reclaimed. , Quantities are estimated. and control is plarmedthat bene-
fits rather than loss ,rill accrue to those having ditches through their properties.
Included in estimates are items for the purchase of .right of "'ay easements, that are plan-:
ned to partially compensate for the areas set aside for the proper locations Of the drainage
construe t ions.
It has not appeared that the full amount of these areas are lost permanently, as the spOil'
banks may be planted and yeald gOOd returns.
The maps, dravTings, and other formation referred to ,are attached and form this report, and.'
are intended to show in detail all information deemed essential for the proper understanding of
the proposed improvements for the DRAINAGE DISTRICT #8 of valhoun Gounty, ~exas.

RESOLUTION
I :tH1: STATE 01" 'l'EX-".S:
" COU.NTY OF. CALHOW~ :
On this the 11th day of February, A.D. 1931, the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County,
~exas being convened in regular session and it being brought to the atte~tion of said court
that the act of the Legislature reQuir~ng officers in all counties of :rexas to make annu~l re- 1
ports of fees collected, works an undue hardShip in those counties ~~ving a popula~ion less thal
25,000 as, it .p.ecessi ta tes the purchase of expensive record books for the purpose and causes the:
officers in such counties to go to some expense and take up,oconsiderable ,time in keeping such ,
records and making the necessary reports when said officers never reoeive fees .Ihich in amount;::
anything approach the maximum limit whioh is proviied by law:
I
r
\ Therefore be it HESOLVED that the legislature of the State of texas be requested to amend'
,--the fe:; bill to the effect that in counties ,'rith a population if less than twenty five thousandj,
officials be net required to keep an aCColUlt of their fees or make an annual report of them. "

In reply to your letter of even date herewith notifying me as County Attorney of Oalhoun
County, Lexas, to file delinquent tax suits on any and all delinquent taxes due the ~tate of
Tezas and the County of CalhOun and to proceed ~o proseoute such suits to final Judgement im-
mediately, will say that due to the present condition of the delinquent taxes it is impossible
for me to proceed at this time.
It will be neoessary for the ~ommissioner:'s Court to furnish me with abstracts and maps of
the real property on which there is delinquent taxes due showing the record owners, the lien
holders, the lease holders, and the amount of taxes due together with interest, penalties, and,
costs.
Due to the faot that there has been no attempt.to clean up all the'delinquent taxes in
this county for the past twenty years, and that there is now a large amount of the delinquent
taxes shown as' unknown and unrendered, it would be impossible forme to carry out your instruct-
ions in the above referred to letter without the 00mmissioner's Court first furniSl:ingme with
the desired information. AS you know the feas allowed me by law are insufficient for me to do.
this preliminary work myself.
Upon the receipt of the information outlined above,' J. will be gald to proceed with the
filing of the delinquent tax suits and will prosecute them to final judgement as quickly as is
legally possible.

COUNTY CALHOUN
mn!:R:8AS, on the 9th day of June, A.D. 1931, a contract Vias made and entered into by and
between 0alhoun County, Texas and ';I.G. Hill of Travis County, ~L'exas, to Ylhich reference is here
made; and
, "t'IHER;;;AS it is the desire of the Commissioner's Court of Calhoun Gounty to more thoroughly
s,et out and define the duties and obI ig& t ions of the said ',1. G. Hill and to meet the re~uire-
ments of the Constitution and the laws of the State of Texas;
.
',IHERSAS a pu1Jlic necessity now exists re~uiring that the taxing system of this county be
revised due to the fact that much property is now and has been escaping taxation and. chat it is
necess"ry that a large amount of the delinquent taxes no\'! due Galhoun County be collected; and,
VfHEREAS, the Gomrnissioners' Court of Calhoun County, texas, has determined the necessity
for making and to have made and installed a complete plat book system for said County for the
purposes of taxation; and
I/lIER:!:AS, such system is necessary to el:iminate questions of' coni'lictting and 9verlapping

On this 8th day of .l"ebrU:ary A.D. 1932, came on to be heard the reQuest of The Li-alveston,
Harrisburg and San Antonio Jtailway Company, for the vacating, closing and abandoning that cer-
tain crossing over its track betwe8n cattle guards 10-13&0, located on the common line of Vic-
toria and I.lalhoun Uounties, and it appec,ring to the Coux.t that since a neVI crossing is to be
ins~alled over said ~ailv~y Gompany's track in Victoria County, at a point approximately nine-
teen (1900') feet westerly of said crossing on the County line, thel'e is no further necessity
and the convenience of the Public does not require said crossing between cattle guards 10-B&C.
It is therefore ordered and decreed that said crossing over sa~ 1tailvlaY Company's tr8ck
on the common line of Victoria and J,avaca (Jounties between said Hallway Company',s cattle guards

COWUY 01<' CALHOUN :
On this the 20th day of April, A.D. 1932, the Comnissioners Court of Calhoun County, Texas
being assembled in specir,l session, it is born in on the minds of the L,embers of thip court
that Vie have sufl'er3d an irreparable loss in thB death of our esteemed 1'ellovl worker, J .R. Bick-
ford, County vlerk of' Calhoun County, who passed on to his reVlard on the 18th day of April, A.D.
1932.
It is the desire of the members of this court :that expression be given as to the high es-
teem in which Ex-. l;ickf'ord Vias held, not only :JY this court but by the people of (;alhoun county
at large and further whch to e;;...press the great loss which is feld as a result of his passing.
Therefore be it RESOLVED that since the omnipitent E'ather has seen fit to call our friend
and co-worker in the service of Calhoun County, to his reward, \7hich to us seemed very untimely,

~vffiND1ffiNT CLARIFYING CO~PEi~SATION
OF W. G. HILI. ET AI. FOR COLLECTION
OF DELINQUENT TAXES.
IN THE W~TTER OF THE COLLECTION
IN THE CO~ll~ISSIONERS' COURT
"
OF DELINb.U2NT TAXES
OF CALHOUN COUNTY, TEXAS.
, ~
On this 15th da~ of l~ovember, 1932,E,came on, for hearing and consiCieration by the CommisJ
sioners' Court of Calhoun County, the matter' of ciLarifying a contr'act made and entered into I
with W. G. Hill, ~,;oore Conner and W. T. Williams, Jr., on the 28th day of Septe",ber, 1931, for \
the collection of de.lineouent taxes owing to the said County and the various taxing districts "
situated therein as the same acpears in Vol. G, at page 155 of the Minutes of this Court, in-
cluding extension or amendment of this date, and it appearing to the Court:
I
!
1
..
1. That the said contract is ambiguous in tha t it is provided therein that the compen- i,
satio~ of the said Hill, Conner and Williams shall be an "amount equal to the penalties and in-':
terest of said delinC[uent taxes actually collected from and after the date of this contract anil:,
duriq; the term hereof, contingent upon the collectlon of said delir,quent taxes, penalties and
interest as and. when collected except state delinquent taxes, penalties and interest" and also
"there shall be paid to ,thelisa~dosecond parties, the penalties and interest of all taxes' ex-
cept State delinquenj; taxes."
2. That after the date of the said. contract and after the said Hill, Conner and Wil-
liams had performed the labor and paid the expense of compiling the data including the ti tIe s
and ownerships heces~ary for the enforcement of the payment of such taxes and had prepared the
notices to the deliqC[uent taxl'payers and the owners of and lier1 hold.ers against the pro,perty ~
deliuC[uent for such taxes, the legislature of the state 0'1' Texas enacted a law by which the in-,
terest and penalty on all such taxes paid on or befor'e December 31, 19'32, thereby were remitted:,
thereby threatening to impair the obligation of the said contract, and the power of the Legis- ':
lature in that respect is questioned.
Now, 1'her'elore, in consideration 01 the pl'emises,and as a compr'omise and adjustment of 1

$288.04 in warrants as Mr. Geo. H. Sheppard, Comptroller,canoelled all tfiese warrants and only
issued $8000.00 in interest bearing warrants.
The Comptroller still holds one $5000.00 v~rrant which he will

Ii seems this will be impossible, so it seems to us that the only thing ,your, court, can do is to
I' pass same kind ,af resalution that a 3rd Class General Warrant be issued to. us for the $288.04.
'Our warrant account is actually short this amount and it must be corrected befare VIe have a

I viz.: , ,
t Whereas, the First State Bank of Port Lavaca, Texas "did by letter dated Jan. 26th, 1933,'
I call, to ,the attention of ,the said Court that the Warrant Fund of the said Bank was short the sun!,
I of $288.04, due to the faot that the Comptroller of Publio Acoounts had cancelle,d certain war- '
rants belonging to the Bank for which no bond had issued, and whioh said Bank produced 'a:ti:faffi,;,t"
. , l ,
davit from Geo. H. Sheppard, Comptroller of Public Accounts, Austin,~exas, both of which said
instruments are placed in the Minutes of the said Commissioners' Court; and '
I Whereas, it appeared to the Court that in order top rotec t the said Bank in its General

II had a credit with the State Comptroller for the above al'flount; that the most feasahle of handling
'I the same was to instruct the Clerk of said Court to draw a warrant on the General Fund of Cal- ,

Texas, and attach thereto the affidavit from the Comptroller of the State of Texas, and' with

, Whereas, it has come to the attention of the C<?mmissioners' Court of Calhoun County, Tex- ~
as, that there is a bill row peniing before the legislatuze of this state red~g the amount'
allowed prisoners on their fine to ~l.OO a day wheresaid prisoners lay their fine out in jail;1
ani '
Whereas, the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County feel that the amount of ~l.OO?- day,
is more in proportion to the d.a11y earnings of the average laborer and tbat the credit allowed I
on a fine by laying it out fn jail should be approxiI18t\,!ly the saune as the wage that the pris-I-'
oner would. ec.rn if he were no); in jail. i
Therefore, be it resolved tint the C9mmissioners~ Court of Calhoun County, Texas, hereby I,
express by means of this resolution their sentiments favoring the passage of said bill; and 1
that a copy of this resolution be sent to their senator, the Hon. E.J. Blaokert and their'rep-~,~,

that it would be more economical to use such maintainer, for the reason that these new maintain-
ers oan be operated by only one man; they are po,were.d ,by a Deisel engine, which is more eoonom-
ioal in the use of fuel, and these Jlew maintainers will cover approximately thirty miles of J

Proposed Professiooal Project in County Clerk's Offio e, Calhoun County
Dear Sirs:
After crecking very thoroughly the records in tbe County Clerk's office, Mrs. McCauley,
Mr. Thomson, and I decided to present to the CoUrt the tollowing information:
"
I
To transcribe and cross irdex all Vital Statistics Records (Births and Deaths ). It would be
necessary to take the certificates that are filed in th e C'1erk's office and arrante them alpha-,
beticallyand to insert the registration number on same; We would also complete your Vital
Statis~ics ReCOrd Book and make t.he three way cross index tile on the births, giving the fath- /
er's name, mother's name, and the, child's name. This procedure is reoommended by the Works '
Progress Admini stration Manual on the indexing of Vital Statistic s. The materia 1, re quired would
consist, of 3x5, cards and the necessary t-ypewriters, estillBted for a CoUnty the size of Calhoun
County. Tm cost would not .exoeed fifteen dollars for this part of the project.
To transcribear.d index Deed RecordVolumn K,' This record is in a deplorable condition, and
since you have the Deed Book that we would use to transcribe Volumn K, your cost Would be prac-"
tically mthing, as it would have to be hand written and would not require a typewriter. ;
To transc:dbe and cross index Commissicners CoUrt' Rec'ords; The best method would-be-to_use the
3x5 cards, tak ing, each sub je c t di s cussed agd IB ssed at the Commissione rs meeting with the date
and volumn and page number in which it"wa s recorded. These 3x5 cards would then be arranged
alphabetically according to the classification/.
It would be necessary to have the new index record which wwld probably cost your County fifteen
or twenty dollars.
We estimate that this project would not cost you an increased e:xpenditur e of over fifty dollars.'
We naturally would expect'Mr. C;J. Thomson, County Clerk, to supervise the WorkS Progress Admin-
istration w~~ers, which he stated he would be very glad to do.
.~~
We understaud that we have six people awaiting assignment who are considered the White
Collar class and would be eligible tor this type of work.
If it meets with the Courts approval, we will arrange to cOllle to Port Lavaca and help you
in preparing the Form 301, pro j ect prop:l sal.
