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.

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. ~ " XOurs truly, D.D.

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 the C[uestions :in issue and the 'claims resulting therefrom, it is ordered by the Court and so ad:" judged and decreed tbat the said Hill, Conner and Williams be paid a commission or 15 per cent ~ delillC[uent taxes paid and to be paid on which the interest allli pel,alt~l()was not and/or is no,t : hereafter paid on the talii:es covered by said contract, in addi tion to the 7i ,cen.ts otherwise : allowed, and the tax collector of Calhoun County is ordered and directed to pay said coinpensa- , tion to said parties from the taxes collected and attach:receipts of said rarties to his l'eport:. , , ,I:" " " It is further ordered "that in all other respects the said contract reUlain in full force and effect.

Boyd and Cal houn County Commissioners Port Lavaca, Te:xB. s I , He: 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. , ' ..... , ... r;:~fW ..' ./0:".
