January' 29, .19'64
Judge Howard Hartzog & Commissioners Court
Port Lavaca, Texas
Gentlemen:
The Aviation Committee of the Port Lavaca Chamber of Commerce
(and Advisory Committee to the Court) recommends that the Court
proceed immediately with negotiations to acquire the acreage
needed for the county airport. The Committee suggests. the 6
mile area site (which includes part of the Holloman Estate).
We have information from the FAA that even though we have been
given a 90 day extension, 60 days of this will be used up just
with paper work, etc., therefore, we feel that we must not I
wait any longer for the' site selection. We feel that this parti- .
cular site can be developed for the airport at the least cost of
anyone surveyed by the engineers. We are listing below other
reasons that we feel makes the 6 mile site the best selection.
1. Elevation of the land.
2. The land has good drainage.
3. There are no high lines in the area.
4. The site is accesible to the city.
5. There are no pipe lines on the land.
6. The engineers have approved the site.
You immediate action on the recommendation will be appreciated.

in the runway area and one 25-foot and three l5-foot core borings
in the area of the T-Hangers. Undisturbed samples of cohesive soils
will be obtained from the borings by means of thinwall, seamless
steel, Shelby tube samplers. A 2-inch O.D. . split spoon sampler will
be used in obtaining disturbed samples and in determining standard
penetration values of cohesionless granular soils. Samples of sub-
surface materials will be field extracted, field classified, identi-
fied according to boring number and depth, encased in moisture proof
plastic, placed in core boxes and transported to the laboratory for
tests and further study. The boring holes will be observed to de-
te~mine ground water conditions at the site.
All samples of subsurface materials will be examined and classified
in ,the laboratory. Atterberg limits tests and sieve analysis will
be .performed.on typical samples in order to classify the soils ac-
co~ding to the CAA Classification System. Existing conditions of
cohesive soils will be investigated by unit dry weight and moisture
content tests. Strength properties and expansive qualities of soils
from the borings in the T Hanger area will be investigated by ap-
propriate tests on selected undisturbed samples. CBR values of
compacted samples of the soil and proposed base material will be
determined in laboratory for.use in the pavement design.
The information obtained by the subsurface exploration and laboratory
investigations will be used in engineering studies to determine the
most desirable foundation type, depth, and unit loading intensities
for the T-Hangers. The information will also be analyzed to assist
you in selecting the most desirable pavement section.
The attached proposal No. 1 is an estimate of the field exploration,
laboratory investigations and engineering studies that will be re-
quired, based on the presently available information on the project.
After the site has been selected and more information is available
on the project, we will welcome the opportunity of discussing our
services with you in order that the actual work is performed will
provide the information that will be of maximum benefit to you.
We appreciate the opportunity of submitting this proposal and hope
that we will have the privilege of working with you on this project.

County Court House
Port Lavaca, Texas.
Re: Sub-Contract for Soils Investigation
Calhoun County Airport
Gentlemen:
Section XI of the Contract between Calhoun County and Brown & Root,
Inc., for engineering services in the construction of an airport
for the County requires written approval by the Commissioners'
Court for all sub-contracts.
In this regard, we request that the Court give its consideration
and approval for us to make a contract with the Trinity Testing
Laboratories, Inc., Austin, Texas for the necessary soils investi-
gation and testing required for the airport.
If other business does not prevent it, early attention to this
matter will be appreciated, as we are advised by the Federal
Aviation Agency that the estimate that we make for the "request
for change in tentative allocation" must be based on a pavement
design, which cannot be made without a soils investigation. We
have enclosed a copy of the proposal submitted by Trinity Testing
Laboratores, Inc., for your review.
We appreciated the very prompt action of the Court in making a
decision on the proposed site in the hearing last Friday.
Very truly yours,
BROWN AND ROOT, INC.
(s) A. R. Jackson
AIRPORT - LOCATION OF TERMINAL
On recommendation duly made, Brown & Roo~, I~c., Engineers, were
authorized to locate hanger space on the South side of the airstrip
on the Hollamon land rather than on the Machac land, because the
Hollamon land is at least a mile and one-half closer to Port Lavaca
and access by both the Six Mile Road and the Half League Road, in
order that the Master Plan can be submitted to the Federal Aviation
Agency, this week, for their final approval.

ADDENDUM 2ND AMENDMENT
This is the second amendment to the original app~icationmade on
Big Chocolate Creek by the Calhoun - Victaia Soil Conservation
an~.approved by State Soil Conservation Board January 19,.1955.
The first amendment was submitted in March of 1962 for the purpose
of eliminating the upper portion of the watershed in Victoria County.
-. .' . ~ .
The purpose of this second amendment~to the original. application is
to include in the project area, certain lands:outside of Drainage
District No. 11, in the main water course of;Big Chocolate and Little
Chocolate Bayous,. and of Lynns Bayou in the City. of po~t Lavaca, Texas.
This will provide for adequate outfall ditches orchan~els, essential
to the original district and adequate for an approximate additional
10,688 acres at the lowest part of such;watersheds so as ,to ,extend I
such project into the bay, as shown by. the map. The lower Qoundary
is requested to be extended for the benefit of th~ tax payers within
Drainage District No. 11 without cost or expense to the tax,payers
of the area added, as it is determined that. some improvemen~: may be
required in this area to make the main channels adequate, an.d pre-
approval is required therefore, before a~y work is planned or con-
tracted for.

The boundaries of Drainage District No. 11, the legal sponsors as-
suming such legal financial responsibility as authorized by law for
the project, have not been changed. Drainage District No. 11 as
created by the Commissioners Court of Calhoun County, Texas, Novem-
ber 29, 1960, and validated as a Conservation and Reclamation Dis-
trict by the Texas Legislature in 1961, for the "specific purpose
of reclamation and the drainage of its overflowed lands and other
'lands needing drainage". The district has all the powers, authority
and responsibilities as provided under Section 59, Article XVI of
the Constitution of the State of Texas. Drainage District No. 11
is the sponsoring organization with authority to finance all of
the planned work of improvement including the procurement of the
rights of way by power of eminent domain, if"necessary, and the
drainage district has legal authority to do such work in the addi-
tional area outside of its boundary, if necessary to its main pro-
ject.
Drainage District No. 11 includes the upper portions of Chocolate
Bayou watershed, Little Chocolate Bayou waterShed and Lynns Bayou
'watershed in Calhoun County, Texas. The two Chocolate Bayous
enter Chocolate bay and thence into Lavaca Bay. Lynns Bayou en-
ters Lavaca Bay through the city of Port Lavaca and the harbor of
refuge.
At the present time, the condition of the three watercourses is
such that excess water overflows from Chocolate Bayou into Little
Chocolate Bayou and then overflows into the head waters ofLyrins
Bayou.
There is approximately 43,168 acres in the total combined watersheds
in Calhoun County. The District includes approximately 32,500 acres.
The boundaries of the District approximate the watershed boundaries
except along the southeast side where the District boundary cuts
across the watersheds. The district boundary cuts across Chocolate
Bayou and Little Chocolate Bayou along State Highway 35. 'The dis-
trict boundary cuts across the Lynns Bayou watershed to follow the
expected future city limits of Port Lavaca.
There are approximately 83 farms and ranches in the District and
about 11 farm and ranch units in the watershed. A great majority
of the landowners, including non-resident landowners, are interested
in getting the project underway at the earliest possible time. Many
have expressed the feeling that one good crop year after comp~etion
of the drainage and flood prevention improvements would almost pay
the total cost of the project.
During an average year, lack of drainage has caused 10 to 15 percent
of the cropland to remain unplanted and an additional 5 to 10 percent
of the planted acreage to be drowned out. Heavy rainfall during
harvest reduces the quantity and quality of grain sorghums, flax
and corn. An average loss of 20 percent of the prairie hay crop
is caused by heavy rainfall which prevents harvesting or damages
the hay. In excessively wet years the cotton lint yield approxi-
mates 150 pounds per acre, while in seasons of less than normal
rainfall, cotton yields have exceeded 500 pounds per acre. The
lack of drainage and floods have also resulted in improper crop
and range management, greater damage from diseases, parasites and
insects, destruction of roads, buildings and fences and has in-
creased the acreage of idle land. . Attempts have been made to con-
'"-~.i.:.";""~-~""""-__..'__.,~,,,,,--,,,,.... ".._."~..._,,"--~.' -,'''',,-.........''' ,,'~'~'-~'" ~-'- ~ .~.. - "'-"""_~,_..._.-...-

struct and maintain drainage systems on some individual farms but
no adequate outlets are available and 'the individual farm drliiriage
~ystems'either do not fUnction'or throw the excess water on neighbor-
ing land causing damage 'and strained relations.
It has been estimated that,the loss of crops and damage. tp farm
buildings, roads, fences and other improvements would average ap- I
proximately $200,000.00 each year for the' past 20 years. ThE!re'
have been 'at least 7 major floods since 1940, each causing a tremen-
'dous amotint of loss 'and damage to crops and propertywithiri this
project area. . Minor flooding occurs 'on an average of more. than'
once every two years. It 'isonly during the "abnormally dry"
years that' a fair production can be 'expected at the time of. plant-
-'ing cr9ps. During even normal years the land is either too 1jet
- or otherwise not. in the right. condition for plariting in 'the spring
and the wet conditions or flooding interferes with harvesting in
mapy cases. The damage to public roads and bridges, utility lines
and interference with traffic and ~ommtinications from'flooding
has been significant and rather frequent during the past 20 years.
There have been few years that' school' buses and rural 'mail c,ar-
rlers have not. been prevented from operating from one to se~eral
days.
Additional information on the watershed problems maybe obtained
from the "Report of Drainage Survey' of the Calhoun - Vic'toria
Soil Conservation District (SCS dated June 1947 and the '''Record
of Public Hearing on Need for Drainage and Flood Control iri.the
Calhoun - Victoria Soil Conservation District" conducted by' the
U. S. Corps of Engineers on June 3, 1952, and the report of "Re- I
connaissanc'e Ip,vestigation of Big Chocolate "Creek Watershed" dated,
April' 15, 1955, '(SCS). Information contained iil' these :feports .
indicate that a good many local people have recognized thl;! drain-
age and fIood'problem,and are interested in a solution to the
..'problem;
,
To adequately solve this problem it will be necessary to enlar'ge
the main streems by clearing and excavation and construct lateral
ditches to each farm within the project area. Works of improve-
ment believed to be needed will consist' of 'the enlargement,
straightening, or construction of approximately 71 miles,of main
and lateral drainage and floodway chanriels' with' the neces'sary en-
largenient 'of bridges,culverts and'construction of swinging water
'gates,' low water crossings and pipe drops'tructures, etc'. I.n
. addition to the mains and laterals construc'ted by the District, .
there will also be a need for many miles of surface field drainage
ditches, wa1!ergates and drop st:ructures.as well as other land
treatment measures on individual farms and: ranches within the pro-
ject.
It has'been impractical for'the State Highway Department' and
County: CoImIiissioners to construct adequate bridges and cul'I7E!rts I
since the ditches above and below such structures were either not
c'onstructe'd 'or we're inadequate. The farme'rs have been unable to
pl'an and apply the needed conservation treatment such as conserva-
tion cropping systems, proper crop residue use,cover ~rops and
other needed cons'ervation land treatment and structur'al measures'
because they had n~,6utlets for their drainage systems and mUch of
their land was affe'cted by puor ?rainage and frequent flooding. .

On an adjacent watershed, the East Coloma Creek Watershed (Drainage
District No. 10), there are 30 landoWners. There were only two
basic plans on this watershed when the contract was let for the
drainage' improvements n.eeded. Within three years after the com-
pletion of the project there was only one farm not under SCD agree-
ment and only 6 agreements there were not basic plans. This was
an increase from 7 percent to 77 percent of landowners with basic
plans in a short period after adequate drainage outlets became
available~ A large percent of the planned conservation practices
have been applied on this watershed since the completion of the
project. This illustrates how the conservation program is ac-
celerated when adequate drainage outlets become available.
The landowners in District No. '11 have realized that a complete con-
servation program could not be applied until they could get ade-
quate drainage and some flood protection on their land. Therefore
they have not requested technical assistance from the Soil Conser-
vation District. They were not eligible for ACP assistance on
farm drainage practices because they did not have adequate outlets.
It is expected that they will start to plan and apply a complete
conservation program at a rapid rate as soon as the project is
underway. .
At present there are 29,145 acres or 68 percent of the watershed
under 51 SCD agreements and they are SCD Basic oonservation plans
on 25,632 acres in 28 plans or 59.3 percent of the watershed. There
is little doubt that additional plans will be developed rapidly
when the needed drainage and flood prevention improvements are
provided..
Damages to public and private roads and bridges, buildings and
fences and other improvements in the project will be greatly re-
duces. Increased yields of agricultural products are expected to
approximate: cotton 75 percent, maize 94 percent, corn 60 percent,
and improved pastures 142 percent. Living conditions and health
of the people living in the watershed are expected to improve due
to increased income from agricultural products, better drainage
and reduction of flood damage. .
Other penefits expected to be achieved:
Decrease the interruptions of traffic on state and county highways
and railroads which 'impair rural mail and s::hool bus service.
Decrease the flood damage to the City of Port Lavaca and land outside
of the District. '
Adequate drainage will increase yields which will benefit processors
outside the watershed such as gins, compressors, elevators, rail-
roads and packing plants.
Increased yields due to works of improvement would improve and staba-
lize the economy of nearby towns, cities and through them have the
same tendency for the state and the nation.
Reduction in silty load carried into Chocolate, Lavaca and Matagorda
Bays. This will reduce cost of dredging and maintaining barge
channels and also reduce the detrimental effect on existing oyster
beds.

The adequate drainage and flood protection which will be provided
by this project will gtve a potential possibility of 'intensifi-
cation of land use on large areas of Class I and Class II land.
- The sponsors of this application propose to participate in the'
project to 'the 'following ~xtent:
1. Acquire all necessary land rights, by condemnation'if
necessary, for the proper installation of all works of'improve-.
ment on this project.
I
2. A!\ssume such proportionate share of the costs consider,ed
to be equitable in consideration of direct indentifiable benlefits
from'drainage which is applicable' to the'agricultural water'man-
agement, phases of this project.
3. 'Assume all'costs, in~luding'engineering services, of
structures for purposes other' than flood preventton; dra~nag,e,
or fish and wildlife development.
4. Make satisfactory arrangements for defraying costs of
operating and maintaining all works of improvements.
5. Acquire such water rights as may'be required by.the State.
'6. Obtain agreements from landowners 'to develop basi:: conserva-
tionplans on'more than'60 percent of-the lands in the drainage'
area of the project and encourage.the application of needed conser- I
vation measures on all the land as rapidly as practical.' .
7. To'provide all'necessaryfunds for the planning 'and local
.contribution to' the construction of this project.
8. To pay for the development, of a Project Work Plan' by 'the -
Soil Conservation Service using field information which has been
and will be obtained by firm of reputable engineers emPloyed by
the District commissioners. ' .

9. Assume the cost of all legal and administrative work that
may be required for the proper installation of the project.
The Conservation and Reclamation District No. 11 has employed a firm
of reputable engineers (Lockwood; Andre~s' and Newnam) to'make the
necessary surveys and to furnish am 'estimate of werk requirE,d and cost
of a complete drainage system'on the watershed. This information is
available and was used for a successful bond issue February 9, 1963.

Gentlemen:
The City has made studies in two areas where the need for impr.oved
traffic conditions, bQth pedestrian !!lnd vehicular, is vital for the
safety of school children. With the financial assistance of the
School District ~nd the.County, the City could schedule these two
projects for this summer.
PROJECT NO. 1 -(Tilley Street)
Tilley Street from Virginia Street to Nueces Street is narrow with
open ditches on each side. The City proposes to put storm-sel.er
in the North ditch ,and build a shell walkway overthe storm selY'er
and thereby keep the school children off of the pavement and away I
from the heavy traffic. . The cost of this project and the antici-
pated breakdown.on,costis as follows:
City-------------------$2,964.60
School-----------------$1,500.00
County-----------------$2.500.00
TO~L------------------$6,964.60

PROJECT NO. 2 (Commerce Street)
Commerce Street from Garner Street to Newlin Street is presently
24 feet wide from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. The City pro-
poses to tear out the curb on the West side, widen the street
12 feet and lay a new curb. This widening would allow sufficient
room for parking on one side of the street and two wide lanes
of traffic. The cost of this project and the anticipated break-
down on cost is as follows:
City--------------------$3,303.75
School------------------$3,000.00
County------------------$2,OOO.00
. TOTAL-------------------$8, 303. 75
The completion of these two projects depends upon the partici-
pation as outlined, which would be a total of $4,500.00 for the
County, $4,500.00 for the School District and $6,268.35 fOD the
City.
Your consideration of this matter will be appreciated. Mr. Lade-
wig and I will be glad to meet with you and discuss these projects
at your convenience.
Sincerely yours,

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT AGREED that acquisition of such right of way
~hall be in accordance with the terms of this contract. The state
hereby authorizes and requests the County to proveed with acquisi-
tion and the State agrees to reimburse the County for.its share
of' the cost of such right of way providing such acquisition and re-
imbursement are accomplished according to. the provisions outlined
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 the
County the data and instruments necessary to obtain acceptable
title to the desired righ~ of way.
. DETERMINATION. OF RIGHT OF WAY VALUES: The County agrees to make a
determination of property values for each right of way parcel by methods
acceptable to.the County and to submit to the State's District Of-
fice a tabulation of the values so determined, signed by the ap-
propriate County representative. Such tabulation shall list the
parcel numbers, o~ership, acreage, and recommended compensation,
Compen,sation shall be shown.in the component parts.of land taken,
itemization of improvements taken, and (if a parcel taking) damages,
if any, or enhancements, if any, to the remainder. This tabulation
shall be accompanied by an explanation to support the determined
values. Such work will be performed by, the County at its expense
without cost participation to 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, ,reserves the
right to perform at its own expense any additional investigation
deemed necessary, including supplemental appraisal work by State
employees or by employment of fee appraisers, all as may be neces-
sary for determination of values to constitute the basis for State
reimbursement.
If at any stage of the project development it is determined by
mutual agreement between the State and the County that there should
be waived the requirement that the County submit to the State pro-
perty 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 process
and at its own expense will make a determination of values to con-
stitute the bases for State reimbursement.
NEGOTIATIONS: The State will notify the County as soon as possible
as to the State's determination of value. Negotiations 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 instruments found
to be necessary as a result of the State's title investigation will
. properly vest title in the State for each right of way parcel in-
volved. The costs incidental to negotiations and the costs of re-
cording the right of way instruments will be the.responsibility of
the County. ,The cost of title investigation will be the responsi-
bility of the State.

an improvement, wh-ich is to be moved by either the County of the
owner. the maximum amount, in which the State'will participate is
that figure derived from an application of the provisions of
Administrat~ve Order 8-57. In the event. the improvements which
are. in whole or part, a part of 'the right of way taking are
not retained 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 similar structure outside the right of way can-
not be reconstructed adequately 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
procured.
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 and
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" pFocedure re-
quires that the State establish the eligibility of the utility
work and enter into a three paFty 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 certification
by the utility that the work has been done, said reimbursement 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 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 single 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 circum-
stances involved. Such utility firm commitment will ,be an ap-
propriate item of right of way. The adjustment, removal or re-
location of any utility line on publicly owned right of way by
sufference or permit will not be eligible for State reimbursement.
The term "utility"- under this contract shall include publicly,
privately. and cooperatively owned utilities.
FENCING REQUIREMENTS: The County may either pay the property
owner for his existing right of way fences based on th~ value
such fences contribute to the part taken and damages for an
unfenced-condition 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 on the recommended value and the
approved value, or the County may do the fencing on the property
owner's remaining property.

Attorneys for Ho11amon Lands Company, Mr. Day and Mr. Dio, and
Airport Committee members (Zwerschke, Wyatt, Lamar Marshall,
and Dickey) met with the Court for the purpose of deciding if
the Court would accept the judgment rendered in the condemna-
tion suit of Ho11amon Lands Company. Mr. Day reported that
no appeal was planned if the County accepted the judgment.
Commissioner Kabe1a reported on the meeting with the FAA in
Washington and stated that we would have to confer with the
Fort Worth FAA Administration, but that the Washington offi-
cials felt that the elimination of the taxiways would be ad-
visable to cut down costs,of construction.
I
Judge Hartzog reported on the meeting in Washington stating that
FAA would try to assist in the planning and suggested that pos-
sibly the runways could be narrowed to 60 or 65 feet width and
that local materials could be used in runway construction, and.
possibly the runway lighting could be modified.
Whereupon, motion was made by Commissioner Barton, seconded by
Commissioner Wedig, that the County accept the judgment prepared
in,Cause No. 783, according to the jury verdict rendered on
July 21, 1964, and as recommended by the Attorneys for the County,

placed correctly, the delegation would pay for the survey, but if
the street is incorrectly placed, the County would pay.for the
survey and move the street to the proper location.

BIDS AND PROPOSALS - FAIRGROUNDS - ELECTRICAL
July 22, 1964
Mr. Sherdan Ramsey
President, Calhoun County-Fair Assn.
Port Lavaca, Texas
Dear Mr. Ramsey:
I have just been talking to Earl Oe1sch1egel, our head serviceman
and he says that you folks are planning to add some electrical
load at the fair grounds above what you had last year, and that
you do not plan to take any corrective measures on the wiring.
I would like to remind you that there was a lot of electrical
trouble last year due to overload on the wiring and with what
was added since last year and what you plan to add, the present
system will not be adiquate.
We are not in the business of selling wiring but we will be happy
to help your group plan a system that will take care of your needs
and you can then get one of our local contractors to do the job.
I can assure you that you will have trouble if something is not
done before fair time. If I can be of any help to you please
call on me at any time.
Sincerely,
(s) L. L. Froelich

Motion by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commissioner Kabe1a,

REPORT OF JURY OF VIEW
TO: Honorable Howard G, Hartzog
County Judge ,
Calhoun County, Texas
The Honorable Commiss~on~rs Court
Calhoun County, Texas
Pursuant to the Order of the Commissioners Court dated April 17,
1964, wherein the Court appointed us a members of a Jury of View
for the purpose of designating and laying out a county public
road through property belonging to Bertha K. Houseworth, a widow,
in Commissioners Precinct No.4, Calhoun County, Texas, and we,
as a Jury of View hereby ~ake the following report to the Court:
1.
That your Honorable Jury of View,did on the 22nd day of June, 1964,
duly take oath of office and immediately notified the said Bertha
K. Houseworth of their appointment and the purpose thereof and the
time and p~acing of hearing in regard to the value of the neces-
sary land taken,for such county public road,and damages to any of
the rem~ining property and we did employ Jack Fields, County Attor-
ney of Calhoun County, Texa~, and Charles W. Hodges, County Surveyor
of Calhoun County, Texas, for the purpose of assisting us in our
duties of so 4esign~ti~g said ~ounty p~b1ic road and making this
our report to the Court. Attached to th~s r~po~t pleas~ find f~e1d
survey, plat and field notes of said proposed county road through
property owned solely by Bertha K. Houseworth to which we hereby
make reference for all purposes.
II.
After full investigation, discussion and hearing of testimony
concerning the value of the land taken for said county public road
and concerning da~ges to the remaini~g property ,after t~e taking
of that land necessary for such county public road we find that
Bertha K. Houseworth should be paid the sum of $125.00 per acre
for the land actually taken which, according to the survey of
Charles W. Hodges, County Surveyor is 10.71 acres necessary for
~~

the right of way of said road which would be a total sum for the
land taken of $1,338.75 and we find that the damage to the rE!main-
ing land of Bertha. K. Houseworth is the sum of $1,500.00 making
a total sum to Bertha K. Houseworth for the taking of ,such county
public road right of way from her land of $2,838.75.
IlL
I
We further find that as a result of the taking of said right of way
as set forth in the field survey, p1atcand field notes~of said
proposed county public road that it will be necessary to erect
a fence along one side of such right"of way and on both:,sides
for a short distance of said right of way at the point where
said, right of way joins or connects,with the present and .exist-
ing county road known as the old Seadrift~Highway and,that there";
fore, the expense of same should properly be borne by Calhoun
County.

day of July, A. D. 1964.

Commissioners' Court
c/o, James F. Houlihan, County Auditor
Calhoun County,
Port Lavaca, Texas
Dear Mr. Houlihan:'
The 'Burroughs Corporation is ,in receipt of your notice to bidders
regarding sealed bids for the purchase of one Tax Billing Computer
for the Calhoun County Tax Office. .
We would .1ike to express ,our appreciation to the Commis'sionel:s' Court
for the recent opportunity to demonstrate .the proposed E2110 Com-
puter to Mrs. Guidry and two of her deputies at the Hidalgo County
Tax Office in Edinburg, Texas.
Attached to this bid is a copy of our original proposal to you on
February 10,.1964. This, bid was returned to us in order to proviqe
other equipment manufacturers an equal opportunity to bid thE!ir more
sophisticated equipment. Please .note that on this date, Burroughs
Corporation recommended the purchase of one E2100 Computer with a
100 Total Memory capacity. After our. visit to Hidalgo County.witp.
Mrs. Guidry, we are even more convinced that this E2100 "100 total"
Computer obsoletes all other available small scale computers on the
market today.

i..~,~,.
165
We would like to list seven reasons why we can not honestly recommend
that Calhoun County purchase any billing machine in the Burroughs line
of equipment EXCEPT the E2ll0 Computer:
1. PROGRAM CONTROL CENTER - There are no individual control
bars or program. Boards to take off and put on when changing from one
job to another. Just a simple, one quarter, turn of the Job Selector
Knob on the E2110 Computer.to change from one program to another.
2. COMPUTATION WITHOUT MECHANICAL REPRESENTATION -,A complete
computer cycle includes an electronic cy1e and.mechanica1 cycle. The
mechanical cycle involves a1~ the mechanical functions such as printing
and carriage movement.
The Electronic cy1e :invo1ves all electronic functions such as date
manipulation, computation, and status checking.
The largest percentage of a tax billing job should involve a need
for electronic cycle only. The Burroughs E2110 Computer fills this
need 65% faster than any comparable small scale computer. The reason
for this tremendous advantage in computational speed is that other
brand computers require a time~consuming Complete Cycle (Mechanical
and Electronic) while the E2ll0 needs only the instantaneous electronic
cycle xo obtain the same result.
3. ONE-TENTH INCH (1/10") TABULATION BETWEEN STOPS - This is
vitally important to the flexibility with which we can pr~gram desired
billing operations. This feature will permit 220 individual programed
positions on one channel of the four channel Program Control Center.
This means that the E2110 (with a 22" carriage) has 155 more program
positions on each channel than the NCR 395 has on one control bar
because it is limited to only 65 program positions (even with a 26"
carriage) .
4. FRICTION FREE MAGNETIC CLUTCH DRIVE -
in tabulation and fast positive stops, the E2110
a magnetic drive carriage. As in the automobile
fluid drive carriage is now obsolete.
For faster starts
Computer utilizes
industry, the old
5. SIMPLIFIED TOTALING PROCEDURES - Because of the flexibility
of the Program Control Center, the operator decisions involved in
obtaining page totals will be the same as the decisions in the tax
billing operation. This is extremely important since ~age totals
must be obtained after every 20 receipts billed. Any other computer
would require a completely different set of instructions for page
totaling.
6. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION - Hidalgo County has already com-
pleted the billing of over 60,000 1964 tax receipts:on four Burroughs
E2ll0 "100 Total" Computers. They permitted us to witness the con-
tinuation of the preparation of their tax roll for several hours, and
it was extremely obvious that Hidalgo County is completely satisfied
with the results of their modern, new billing system.
7. PRESENT AND FUTURE - The E2110 Computer has the capabilities
to do your present job as established in Mrs. Guidry's Specifications.
The &2110 is the only machine that has the additona1 capacity to handle
your growing requirements for many years to come.

We reco~end that you purchase:
One Burroughs E2ll0 "100 Total", Computer
$19,360.00
We would like to submit two lower priced computers for your con-
sideration. This is NOT our recommendation to Calhoun County, but I
is submitted as a,comparison of the low. priced, yet. superbly engineer-
~d line of Burroughs Systems Equipment. Either of, these computers
will prepare your tax roll, but the operation will be considerably
slower... TO,obtain the desired "end result" would require 'a series
o~ recapitulations.
One Burroughs E2104 "40 Total Computer"
One Burroughs F2503 "19,Tota1 Computer"
$17,960.00 '
12,100.00
These prices will remain firm for thirty days. After thirty days
these prices will be subject to change without notice until '8 firm
,order, is placed. This price includes delivery,' complete inst:a11a-
tion, an~ the standard Burroughs Warranty of one year. -
This recommendation.of Burroughs P~oducts and Service is subDlitted
for your' considerati on and guidance in hopes that we may be. favored
with your order, subject to acceptance thereof by Burroughs.
Very truly yours,

Honorable Howard G. Hartzog and Commissioners
Commissioners Court
Calhoun County, Texas
Dear Sirs:
In consideration of the projected expansion of our public health
program, and' in view of the anticipated additional demands for
my time concerning the implementation of that program, I must,
regretfully, submit my resignation as Civil Defense Director of
Calhoun County. ,1 would like my resignation to become effective
on the date my successor to that office is named.
It has been a wonderful experience and a genuine pleasure to have
served in the capacity of civil defense director during thesE' past
several months. ' I want to express my. sincere gratitude to each 1
of you individually, and to all of you collectively for the kind
.. and considerate cooperation which you have shown to me during the
tenure of my office.
I should like to suggest that you consider Mr. Walter Payne ~LS
a possible condidate for the office of director. I have been
privileged to work quite closely with Mr. Payne during the past
several weeks, and have been favorably impressed with his ability
and drive. He is keenly interested in his community, and' parti-
cularly concerned with civil defense. He is well accepted by the
volunteers of the organization, which, in truth, is the hard core
of civil defense. I would expect him to reflect nothing but credit
on. the office as well as the county government in general.
Respectfully,
(s) Clayton E. Toalson
l';1otipn by Commissioner Kabe1a, seconded by Commissioner Lindsey,
and carried, that the resignation of Clayton Toalson, as Civil De-
fense Director, be accepted with regret, effective OcJ;ober 1, 1964.

Melvin Blake, Pete Mowen, Robert Due1berg, R. R. Willmann, Mary

he did not feel that the petition should be withdrawn, but
rather that the district should be established and money applco-
priated later. Mr. Willmann stated that there might be dangl~r
in the use of hydrocarbon poisons by spraying to wildlife and
humans as well and advise'd that the public should be' informed.
Mr. Keathley stated that he would desire for the dist:dct to
be formed now and the manner of financing be deferred until
after the Legislature meets, with the possibility of the Leg:ls-
1ature authorizing some other method of financing. The question
was raised if the ballot must contain the amount set out in the
petitions. The Attorney General's office was contacted for an
answer, who advised that the amount of "not to exceed 25c;:" bl~
inserted on the ballot.
Whereupon the following order was executed by the County Judge.
ELECTION ORDER
WHEREAS, as members of the Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County,
Texas, we are each individually aware of the threat of the spread
of sleeping sickness to our county. We know and appreciate the
concern of our fellow citizens who have petitioned for the forma-
tion of a Mosquito Control District.
I
WHEREAS, in order to be certain of our legal grounds, the Court
prepared a request to the Attorney General of Texas which was
submitted by our County Attorney as required by law and the answer 1
of that department is clear and certain.
The petition is valid and invokes the mandatory duty upon the
County Judge to order the requested election, and as it will ef-
fect obvious economy to call the same for November 3rd, 1964"
the day of the General Election.
'IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that such election be held on Tuesday,
'the 3rd day of November, 1964, coincidental with the General
Election, to be supervised by the judges and clerks of such I~lec-
tion; that the County Attorney be requested to prepare the of-
ficial Order and the Clerk be authorized to have the required bal-
lots printed before October 14, 1964, in order- to be available
to qualified real property taxpayers during all the period of ab-
sentee'voting.

October 8, 1964
TO THE HONORABLE COMMISSI ONER 's COURT OF CALHOUN COUNTY:
Since free suffrage, which is unique among the nations of the world,
is one of the basic foundations in the structure of the government
of the United States of America, our emblem of 1tberty should be ex-
hibited where the people are making their free choice in the election
of their leaders; when the welfare of their country is uppermost in
their minds.

Therefore, we believe that it would be fitting and proper that a
flag be displayed at each polling place on Election Day. Flags
are inexpensive, and could be purchased for $2.63 each. I am sure
that the Election Officials would be glad to st9re the flags 'with
.their other election equipment between elections.
Displaying our symbol of liberty in this way will not merely add I
to the dignity of the occasion but will serve as a reminder to
all of us that by exercising ?ur rights and acknowledging our
responsibilities as citizens we are keeping this freedom alive.
In order to make our records complete, we respectfully request
that this request be incorporated in the minutes of the Commissioners'
Court and that this organization be given a copy of said minutes
pertaining to the request and containing your action on said request.
We realize it has not been set up in your budget, but believe only
11 flags would be necessary as all schools and the Court House
have flags, and believe that perhaps it would be included in elec-
tion supplies.
Sincerely,

GULF BEND CENTER FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
A delegation consisting of Dr. Roy Reed, ~ev. James Bailey and
Mrs. John Griffin, met with the Co~t ~on~erning the County's
participation in the amount of $1,8QO.QO ~oward establishing
and financing of the Gulf Bend Center fo~ Children and Youth
and presented a resume concerning same.
1. Who is the Center? A group of private citizens in each of
six south Texas counties - Calhoun, DeWitt, Goliad, Jackson,
Refugio, and Victoria - has been chartered by the State of
Texas to aid handicapped and oth~r disadvantaged infants,
children, and youth. The,six county organizations in twcn
are incorporated to form the Gulf Coast Center for Children
and Youth.
2. Why is this work nec~ss~ry? Nation~wide it is estimated one
out of eight minors is in qeed of special help - physical,
mental, emotional, social. Some of these - 1800 in the area,
it is thought - need very special help, the kind only spec tal-
ists can give. And such specialists are not now available to
many area citizens.
3.
What will the Center do? With about 500 of the most alarming
cases the Center will provide total help, including treatment
if necessary. With the remaining 1300 the Center will aid
existing agencies - church, court, ~ealth, school, welfare -
to do a better job. Moreover, the Center will provide leader-
ship, if requested, in improving programs for all children.

tal Available Fund is in excess of the amount required at

INDIGENT - MARCELLO HERNANDEZ
January 4, 1965
Judge Howard G. Hartzog
Courthouse
Port Lavaca, Texas
Dear Judge Hartzog:
At the request of Mrs. Mary Chatterton, I investigated
the socio-economic status of Mr. Marcello Hernandez, a
bona fide resident of Calhoun County and my conclusions
herewith respectfully follow:
Mr. Hernandez has been a recipient of Public Welfare for
the past many years, having been disabled approximately
10 years ago. Until recently, he received AFDC benefit, I
which was, terminated when his youngest child reached the
age of 18. He is unable to perfoJ:m routine and menial
task which he does perform does not provide a sufficient
income for his basic needs. He will be eligible for Social
Security benefits in approximately l8 months, however,
pending the receipt of such, it appears he needs some in-'
terum assistance.
,
It is my opinion that Mr. Hernandez is a deserving and
needy citizen,and I therefore recommend that the Court
award him whatever financial assistance may be within
its relm of legal abi~ity.
Respectfully,
(s) Clayton E. Toalson
.
Motion by.Commissioner Kabela, seconded ,by Commissioner
Wedig,. and carried, that Marcello Hernande~ receive, in
the form Qf grocery order to Chavana's Grocery, in the a-
mount .of $.15.00 each two weeks for a period of 6 months.

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 suits for de-
linquent taxes, but do make adequate provisions for other
attorneys to handle the same, I do hereby decline to file 1
such suits and do hereby waive the thirty days written notice
provided .in Article 7335, Revised Civil Statutes, and do here-
by 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.

ber 1st of the year in which the same shall become delinquent.

FLAG POLE ,.. AGRICULTURE. BUILDING - 4H CLUB
TO THE HONORABLE COMMISSIONERS COURT OF CALHOUN COUNTY:
Gentlemen:
On behalf of the Port Lavaca Chapter of the 4 H Club, the
Pilot Club' has been contacted to seek permission of the Com-
missioner's Court for the 4 H Club to place a permanent flag
pole on the grounds of the Agriculture Building, a project
of the 4 H Club, at no cost to the County.
I
The request states that the preferable place for the flag pole
is about one-half way between the existing curb and the front of
the Agriculture Building. The pole would be approximately 30 I
high and could be used for 4 H Club projects as well as a per-
manent pole for the flag to be flown on election days and an
other special or flag days.
The base of the pole would be so constructed as to let it be
lowered to attach the halyard, paint it if necessary or in case
there.is a hurricane alert.
The flag pole would be constructed of either aluminum or drill
stem pipe, whichever is considered best to stand the strain of
the wind on the flag.
When we, of the Pilot Club, hear of such a project by one of our
young citizens organizations, we are especially interested, be-
cause the young people of today are the leaders of tomorrow. The
future of our ~reat Nation depends upon the youth of today wld
what our Natiofl. becomes in the future is of, interest to the Pilot
Club, for as you'know, one of our objectives is to stress Patroism.
We are working for, striving toward, and are setting as the great
goal - - - A WORLD OF PERMANENT PEACE WHERE JUSTICE AND TRUTH
ABIDE.
I
The 4 H Club request that this request be incorporated in the

request of us.

AIRPORT - ENGINEERS
Mr. Willwee, Brown & Root Engineer, met with the Court to advise
that Mr. Rud Jackson had been promoted. and Mr. Ufer had.accepted
employment with another. firm and they would no longer be associated I
with the County Airport Project. He introduced Mr. Abernathy and
Mr:McDuf'f who would be the engineers assigned to the County Ai.rport
project. The Court then discussed the. drainage !lituation at the
site and Mr. Millwee assured the Court that the drainage picture
would not appreciably change and estimated that the first estimate
would be due around the first of April and.that the. project is .
expected to be completed within the allotted time; and, that the
specifications for the hanger would be furnished in the near future.
HIGHWAY RIGHT OF WAY
Mr. King and Mr. Rylander of the Texas Highway Department met with the
Court and discussed the Farm to Market Highway projects in the County.
Discussed was the acquisition of Right of Way to extend F. M. 2541
(Thomas .Ranch Road) to St. Highway .1#35. Mr. King stated that ac-
quisition could be made by application for assistance to St. Highway
Department or..by private surveyor.
Also discussed for future development was an extension of F. M. 2433
from St. Highway No. 87 near Clark Station to F. M. l090 which
will service the County Airport, now under construction.
I
Also discussed was. the construction of frontage roads along the
St. Highway 35 By-Pass. Mr. King, stated that the increase of
traffic necessitates the construction of the frontage roads to
ade~ately serve the area in the near future.
Mr. Rylander presented preliminary plans on St. Highway 238 project
from the intersection of F. M. 2433 with St. Highway.238, south over

by the State Highway Department. .
Motion by Commissioner Wedig, seconded by Commissioner Kabe1a,
and unanimously carried, that the County accept the. appraised
valuations placed on the properties involved in Right of Way
acquisition on State Highway 238, from F. M.2435 to State High-
way No. 316 with the understanding that these values are the upper
limits with respect to the State participation in purchase of same.
Motion by Commissioner Wedig, seconded by Commissioner Kabe1a,
and carried, that the County enter into a firm committment with
the State in regard to the fencing necessary on the State Highway
238 project.
March 29, 1965
Mr. H. C. Veasey, District Engineer
Texas Highway Department
P. O. Box 351
Yoakum, Texas
Dear Mr. Veazey:
The Commissioners' Court regrets that you were unable to be present
last Friday for our annual meeting for the planning of our future
state and county highway projects. Mr. King and Mr. Rylander
expressed your regrets. We exchanged many ideas as to the needs
and time-table of various projects in our four precincts. Mr.
King suggested that I make a written report to you.
Calhoun County is growing so rapidly and the increased demands
are so great that it is difficult to evaluate the greatest need
for 1965. However, it was the consensus that since the airport
project is rapidly proceeding toward completion that in order to
render more accessible service to the citizens of the Seadrift,
Port O'Connor, Union Carbide and National Starch areas that the
proposed farm to market road from Clark Station at Highway No. 87
to Highway No. 1090, the Six Mile Highway, should have the first
priori ty.
As you know, the original planning for this road for a direct
tie-in with Sheriff's Field Road and Highway No. 2433 would be
to start at the old Clark Cotton Gin entrance .and make the curve
towards the East over to the Maxwell Ditch Road West of the airport.
First, it would create a five-point traffic hazard at the junction
of Highway No. 87 and Highway No. 2433, the Indiano1a cut-off road
and make for a dangerous, intersection. Second, this route is found
objectionable to the Foester Estate landowners because it will cut
off a tract from the main ranch which will be unusable for ranch
purposes. "The owners suggest that they would suffer less damage
if the right ~f way be a direct extension from Highway No. 1090,
Westerly along the Maxwell Ditch Road to an intersection with State
Highway No. 87, to a point across from the Curtis Foester home. This
routing would avoid the traffic hazard at the intersection of High-
ways No. 87 and 2433 and decrease the costs of acquisition.
:.~82
Our second priority would be the completion of. the Thomas Ranch
Road, .F. M. No. 2541, to connect with State Highway No. 35, just
West of the Big Chocolate bridge. ,As acomp1etion.of this section
of road would shorten the milage from the new airport to Highway
N~. 238 for .the benefit of our citize~s in the Seadrift arid Port I
o Connor areas. In that connection, we realize that.you.maynot
be able to complete the proposed Foester Ranch airport section.
until Drainage District No. 11 shall have finalized its improve-
ments on Little Chocolate Creek and in that event the secon~
,priority road may be ready for a letting before that of .the first.
It now seems that Drainage District No. 11 is about to begin work.
In any event, in order that the overall project .be ftot delayed,
the Court requests your help and assistance in making a survey
and in preparing the necessary field notes so that the' county may
now purchase' the remainder of the highway right of way. YO\Lwi.11
require to extend the Thomas Ranch Road from the ranch house over
to Highway No. 35. This ~s of importance because there are pipe-
lines that could now be relocated in this . area by the pip:e1ipe .
companies with whom we are now dealing on the Thomas Ranch section.
It would be more economical for these companies to do all the.ir .
reconstruction work at one time under a single contract.
Actually, there are only three owners involved in this ex~ended
section and all the right of way will be taken off the West
side of the present county road except fora small stretch across
the Jo~ Brett land.
e. .. I
The Court realizes that the necessary surveY could be done by
a pr,ivate. surveyor; however,. there are some curves .which are
essential to be surveyed in accordance with your specifications.
and the work of a private surveyor might not be in full compli-
ance. We feel that in view of.the fact that this.road extension
will be completed in the.near future.that a.survey made by your.
engineers at this.time would be in the interest of the Department
and the County.
As we recall the loss of.our old causeway in the hurricane 'and
damage to the new causeway in 1961, we realize what the potential
loss .of that 1ife~line will mean to this entire area..
The present trend of development of Port Lavaca is along 'St~te
Highway.No. 1090 in the Six Mile area. .Withthe completion of
the County Airpor~ this summer, that trend will continue.to in-.
crease. Highway No. 1090 must.be extended the five miles into
.Victoria County to intersect State Highway No. 616 so as to form
a.1oop with the La Ward~Point Comfort F. M. Road No.. 1593. Then,
if the. causeway should again be damaged, Point Comfort and Port
Lavaca would have only a short distance to detour.
I
As to.the improvement of.the State Highway No. 35 By-Pass around
the City of.Port Lavaca between the Half League Road and .Travis
Stre.et in the Brookho110w and Lynnhaven Subdivisions.. TJ::te building
of a new shopping center on the West side of the Virgi~ia S~reet
intersection and the proposed new Ca1houn.County Senio~ High Sc4001
- on the North side of the By-Pass across from the football stadium
will create.increased hazards to public safety unless the prigina1ly
planned access frontage roads are opened up. We desire to join
with the school and city in requesting your survey of this area.
It may be that your survey may reveal that this work can be done
in stages over the next few years. However, in our thinking an
I

283
emergency now exists for immediate construction along the Southeast
side of the By-Pass.
We want to compliment your maintenance crew on the widening of the
shoulders of Highway No. 87 from the county line into Victoria.
We certainly hope that this improvement can be continued on from
the Calhoun County .1ine to the intersection with Highway No. 35.
You will, of course, recall the preliminary work that you have
done on the extension of State Highway No. 316 from LaSalle's
Monument to Port O'Connor, a distance of some six miles from Pow-
derhorn Bayou, and its extension by a causeway to Matagorda Island
to serve the Air Force, the proposed Historical Park and to the
Gulf Beach. Those who work on our tourist program indicate that
the opening of this area would provide needed seashore recreation-
al facilities to over a million people a year.
We are working with Congress for the creation of this historical
shrine which marks,the landing place of Alvarez de Pinada in 1519,
Cabeza de Vaca in 1528, Robert LaSalle in .1685 and was the location
of the Confederate forts of Fort Esperanza and Fort DeBray during
the War between the States. This historical shrine in our American
Heritage is older than the Plymouth Rock and it must not be forgotten
in our future planning.
For your information, in June the State, County and private owners
will have.our hearing before Federal Judge Ben.,Conna1ly in Victoria.
Thus far, the Air Force has not requested a further extension of
time for the taking of our Gulf Beach Highway-adjacent to which
these historical shrines are located and it may be that they plan
to work with us for the preservation of our history and open the
area to the public.
The county has many other roads that are vital to our growing
economy of which you are well acquainted. We know that after
you make your own. studies and surveys you will-select the ones
that you find to be the most needed and in the greatest public
interest.
Yours very truly,
COMMISSIONERS' COURT OF
CALHOUN COUNTY, TEXAS

AIRPORT BOND HEARING
A public hearing on the proposed bond election for hangar facilities
at the County Airport, now under construction, was held and attended
by W. R. Zwerschke, Bob Tanner, R. E. Wyatt, Calvin Lewis, Bert
West, Mary Phillips & Roland O. Patterson. Bob Tanner started the
meeting with a discussion of his objections and propounded questions
touching on the advisability of the construction of facilities
which would tend to be competitive to private enterprise already
established.
Judge Hartzog gave a resume of the position of the Court and their
planning of the facility with an eye on the progressive needs of
the future rather than with any thought toward competing with pri-
vate enterprise.
W. R. Zwerschke gave the thoughts of the committee toward planning
of the total facility. The planning was designed toward servicing
the needs of industry and to attract more industry.
Mr. Tanner talked at length on many aspects of the aviation industry
and gave statistics on certain points to substantiate his contentions.
Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Zwerschke and Mr. Patterson all talked on the aviation
needs of Calhoun County and similar areas and installations, the pro-
blems of the business, etc.
Mr. Calvin Lewis stated that he felt that a definite plan of what
is proposed to be constructed should be finalized before the bond
issue is submitted to a vote.

TAX ASSESSOR-COLLECTOR DEPUTY
March 29, 1965
To The Hon. Commissioners Court,
Calhoun County.
RE: Employment of Mrs. Guy SpE!ncer
Gentlemen:
I respectfully request, subject to your approval, the employ-
ment of Mrs. Guy Spencer as a full time Deputy in the Tax:
Ass'r-Co11'rs office.
Upon your approval, we would like to hire Mrs. Spencer's E!mp10y-
.ment.to become effective on May 1, 196~at a salary of Tl~ee
Hundred Dollars per month.
As you will remember., when I made my budget request I told you
at the time we .needed another full time employee and, be1iE!ve
we can cut out the part time, except for outside Assessors.
We have been having to use part time help practically the year I
around anyway that can not do all the work we need done as it
is almost impossible to hire part time help that can go from
job to job.
Mrs.. .Spencer was employed by the County before but resignE!d
due to the fact that Brown & Root offered a much better p~~ing
position.
Mrs. Spencer has been working six months part time and has
prooved very satisfactory and can do anything in the offiee we
have gi\Ven her and know she can quickly learn the other.
There is much new legislation, which I feel will pass, thllt is
going to become effective soon and we just can not keep up with
.the work as it is already. I have good reason to believe I am
going to lose an employee and surely would like to have one
trained at the time. Mrs. Spencer worked for'Brown & Root: 3
years and with Bill Sames Attorney at law for 2~ years.
Your usual cooperation is always appreciated.
Very :truly yours
(s) Katie Guidry
Tax Ass'r-Co11'r
If at all possible I would like to discuss this with you in
'person,

Motion by Commissioner Barton, seconded by Commissioner Wedig,
an.d c.arried, that the request of Mrs. Guidry, Tax.: Assessor-Col-
lector be granted an~ the deputation of Mrs, Guy Spencer be ap-
proved for employment effective May 1, 1965 at a salary of
$300.00 per month and the Tax Assessor-Collector budget be amend-
ed to transfer the amount necessary for the balance of the year
1965, from the extra help budget item for the Salary, Social

Upon motion duly made and seconded, it was unanimously ordered
that the following notice be posted in the courthouse and a
copy given to all newspapers.
PUBLIC NOTICE
TO ALL FARM OWNERS AND OPERATORS
Gentlemen:,
The Commissioners' Court of Calhoun County requests your
cooperation in refraining from employing our public roads
and state highways rights of way for the purpose of turn-
rows for your farm equipment.
I
As most of you know, this practice is forbidden by Statutes.
You, likewise, realize that the cleaning of your plows and
dropping mud and dirt upon the road surface damages and
creates a dangerous hazard to the traveling public; that
plowing across the berm into and out of the bar-ditches ob-
structs drainage and increases the costs of maintenance.
We realize that it is often difficult to secure and train
qualified tractor operators.
We will appreciate your cooperation and ask you to please
impress upon your tractor operators that it is in your
interest that they make all of their turns on your turnrows
and not that of the public right of way.

COUNTY OF CALHOUN l
-e . .
BE IT REMEMBERED, that on this, the l2th day of Ju1y,.A. D. 1965,
there was begun and holden at the Courthouse in the City of Port
Lavaca, said County and State, a Regular Term of the Commissioners'
Court, within and for said County and State, same being the Regular
July Term, 1965, and there were present the following members of the
Court, to-wit:
A. S. C. OFFICE - AGRICULTURE BUILDING
Mr. C. L. Cook appeared before the 'Court and made a request in
behalf of the A. S. C. office for ~onstruction of an ~nside office
within their office and submitted an estimate of costs of approxi~
mate1y $471.48. The matter was taken under consideration for
further. study and later action.
MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT - PROGRESS REPORT
.Dr. R. J. Roemer opened and made general remarks concerning the Dis-
trict. Clayton Toalson gave a detailed report copcerning mosquitos
and their control by various practices and poisons. A lengthy dis-
cussion of the district concerning finances, practices, insecticides,
equipment, etc., ensued. The Court commended the district board
members, and Mr. Cook and Toalson for their effective mosquito con-
trol program and thanked them for their services to the county for
serving at no compensation.
PROGRESS REPORT
.
Qn May 28, 1965, the Calhoun County Mosquito Control Board'met at
the City - County Health Department with the follOWing present:
R.J. Roemer, Chairman, John Peeler, Pete Mowen, Delaney Cornet~,
C. L. Cook, Larry Canion, and Clayton Toalson.
The board accepted Mr. Cook's recQmmendation for strip aerial
spraying for the purpose of containing mosquitoes in areas that
will protect population centers. The proposed aerial application
was to be carried out on an experimental basis.
It was also recommended and approved by the board that a survey of
the mosquito population of Calhoun County be taken to determine the
effectiveness of the control measures. Also to be included in the
survey is identification of species present, location and extent
of breeding areas, population densities, and to evaluate the control
measures with the view to modifying them in order to increase their
effectiveness.

GROUND DUSTING
Adult mosquito control in the populated areas of the County,in-
c1uding Port Lavaca, Point Comfort, Olivia, Port Alto, Sc~iekie
Point, Lou Davis, Little Mexico, DD Addition, Chocolate Bay a:rea,
Meadow Brook Addition, Peikert Addition, Seadrift, Port O'Connor, I
and beach areas, was attempted through ground disbursement of 5%
malathion dust. The insecticide was dispersed. by two turbine
dusters, and was applied at the rate of .3 1bs. actual ijla1athlon
per-acre.. .The operation was conducted during late evening and night
time' when atmosphere conditions were most conducive to effectlve
application. .
AIRCRAFT EMPLOYMENT .
Insecticidal disbursement by aircraft has, this far, been limited
to an isolated instance, on May 3lst, trace amounts of technical
malathion was applied in narrow bands of marsh;.perimeters. .The
project was conducted on an experimental basis to determine dJe
effectiveness (as a flight deterent) of a high concentration,-
low. volume. malathion application. The results of the single ap-
plication were difficult to evaluate, however, there was. general
agreement that the operation was effective. It may be of in- ."
terest to note the insecticide was /pplied by the Cornett Flying
Service at no charge to the County.
LARVACIDING
.'There has been no attempt::to control mosquitoes in the larvae, stage. I
It has been established that the adult pest in the populated llreas
are of the species that propogate in the salt marsh areas and ric~
fields. The.inaccessib1e terrain is impossible to treat by ml~ans
other than aircraft.
SURVEY
In the work accomplished to date, emphasis has been placed on
identifieation of species, located breeding areas and determil~
densities. Some effort has gone into evaluating present control
measures and their effect. Each of these items will be. taken up
separately.
In the identification.of species, so far only 10-l2.species have.
been found. These fall under the four main genuses of Aedes,
Psorophora, Anophaeles, and Culex. Foliowing.is a bit of the
genuses and species:
Aedes - Sollicitans, .taeniorphnchus
Anophaeles - Atropos, crucians, quadrimacuiatus
Psorophora,-ciliata, confinnis, cyanescens
Culex - quinquefasciatus
I
In time more species are sure to be found. The breeding, flight,
. and biting characteristics of most of the identified species are
well established. (Those species that are likely to create or
become problems)

The date concerning these species here in Calhoun County was collected
in three different ways which gives a fairly accurate picture of
our local situation.
Larvae surveys were effected in order to locate and determine the
extent of breeding areas.
Light traps have been set up at various points in the county to
determine the density of mosquitoes in any given area at a specific
time. Night catches were made to determine the actual number and
species of mosquito biting in specific areas at specific times. Most
of the time, the studies were carried out in conjunction with each
other. The data collected in these instances tends to corroborate
itself. Much of the data collected, however interesting, is of
only academic interest.
The practical results of the survey has done nothing more than bear
out what most people have suspected or taken for granted. The pro-
blem species here in Calhoun County are Aedes soliicitans and Aedes
taeniorhynchus, both extensive salt water breeders, and Psoraphora
Confinnis, a fresh water breeder.
Psorophora confinnis is more familar1y known in other parts of the
United States as the rice field mosquito. Both species of Aedes
are strong fliers and will travel long distances under favorable
conditions. While Psorophora confinnis ordinarily is not con-
sidered a strong flier, it still has a flight range sufficient to
cover the distance from breeding areas to populated areas with lit-
tle trouble. Actual and potential breeding areas for Aedes have been
found throughout Calhoun County, In the Point Comfort area, Cox's
Bay, and for Olivia area, Keller's Bay are major breeding areas. In
the vicinity of Port Lavaca,. all of Chocolate Bay and much of the
natural watershed of Chocolate Bayou serves as both actual and poten-
tial breeding areas.
From Indianol& to Magnolia Beach is one of the most extensive breeding
areas in the county, and accounts for the mosquito population in that
area. Both sides of Powderhorn Lake serve as potential breeding
areas for Aedes. This breeding area extends as far west as the mouth
of Coloma Creek. Most of the river bottom South of Highway 35, is
actual and potential breeding areas for both Aedes and Psorophora.

Principal areas of sourse are rice fields and
For most of the other species. found or present in the county (Breed-
ing areas are 10calized)especia11y Anopheles and Culex, these condi-
tions favorable for their development, also favor the development
of Aedes and Psorophora. The Anopheles and Culex have not yet
deve1op~d into much of a problem and their sifnificant propogation
is not anticipated.
Catching stations have been established at Point Comfort, Port
O'Connor, Alamo Heights, and the county health office. In addition,
adult night biring catches have been made at most of these stations
and at reported "hot" spots throughout the county. The total
catches include the following:

operations, a night catch was made at one of .the locations bE!fore
dusting. . This was followed uP. with night catches on two success-.
ive nights after application. A total of 94 female.s were taken.
before dust application. The total feel to l8 and l6 females
on the two. successive nights 'following application. It was not
. possible to follow this line of investigation further, so that
the length of ef"fective control could not be established. It: does
indicate that ground dusting does give immediate relief.

Re: HOUSTON REIMBURSEMENT FILE 119
Lower and Extend Casing on the
100 Kellers Bay Field Line to
Accomodate Widening and Improving
of F. M. Highway 2541 - Calhoun
County, Texas
We are advised by the Texas Highway Department of the proposed i~
provement of F. M. Highway 2541 in Calhoun County. which will neces-
sitate the adjustment of this Company's facilities. estimated to
total $5.444.
While the Highway Department has not indicated that this is an i~
provement of an existing county road. our files reflect that there
did exist a 40' wide road which will be widened to 100'. In accord-
ance.with United Gas Pipe Line Company!s policy. we are willing to
absorb the cost of adjusting the line within the existing road. or
40% of the actual cost; 60% of the cost should be reimbursed and
the Highway Department advises that this is the responsibility of
Calhoun County.
.We have attached for your information a copy of our drawing designat-
ing the required work and a copy of our itemized estimate. If you so
desire. we will be pleased to prepare and submit an easement in favor
of Calhoun Cwnty covering the construction of F. M. Highway 2541 a-
cross this Company's right of way. This instrument will provide for
the reimbursement of 60% of the actual cost of the work as set out
above. However. if the Commissioners' Court prefers, we will, of
course. accept a court order authorizing reimbursement of 60% of
these costs.
The Highway Department has submitted a "Joint Use Permit" form for
execution by United Gas Pipe Line Company; however. we will retain
this form in our files until such time as a court order or executed
reimbursement agreement has been furnished by the Commissioners'
Coutt.

May we hear from you regarding this. matter at your earliest ,con-
venience as we do not wish to delay your highway project.

Honorable Howard Hartzog
County Judge, Calhoun County
Port Lavaca. Texas
Dear Judge Hartzog:
The Texas Highway Department advised by letter dated January. 4,
1965 that it was in process of planning the improvement of Highway
No. F. M.254l in Calhoun County. The Highway Department a1:so
furnished a map indicating that an existing County Road would be
widened at two separate points at which it is crossed by Humble's
2%" produc.ts line. Although the strip map was not numbered both
points appear to be in Pascual Guajardo Survey. A-20.
. HulDble presently has 6" casing .on its pipeline at the points of
crossing of theCounty'Road. Attached are two copies.of Humble's I
map CC-E-66l-5 indicating the details of the existing casing and _~..
vents and the additions as requested ,by the Highway Depa~tmel1t. ~
..Since the casing to be extending will be across private prOpl!rty
on which Humble has previou.ly purchased right of way. Humbll!
proposes to lower its pipeline where necessary,. extend its casing
and r.elocate its vent pipes at the expense of Calhoun County..
Humble has .submitted this job to five independent contractorl;, the
contractor to furnish all labor, material and transportation ex-
penses involved. H & K Construction Company of Sinton. Texal;,. was
the low bidder in the amount of $2,830. To this figure Humble will
add ten percent for drafting, engineering and supervision or $283.
making a total expense to Calhoun County of $3.113. .
When Humble purchased right of way from the landowners adjacent to
the County Road it agreed to pay for damages to improvement ()r
growing crops in exercising the rights granted. Should any such
damage. occur as result of performing the work outline above. Humble
will discharge its contractual obligation and expect reimburl;ement
from the County so long as such damage payment is of a reasonable
nature and amount. This matter is brought to your attention be-
cause the farmers in your community are entering the planting and
. growing season. Before any such payments are made it will bl~ dis-
cussed with the Commissioner in whose precinct the work is being
performed..
It this agreement is satisfactory with the Commissioners' Court.
please have all the Commissioners join you in executing both copies
of this letter.

HOSPITAL - T. V. SERVICE
Mr. McFarland, Hospital Administrator, and Mr. Draughn, Hospital
Business Manager, met with the Court and advised that the contract
with the present vendor furnishing T. V. service to the hospital
expires next month and expressed wishes that the Hospital (County)
purchase 30 sets for use in the hospital to payout in 18 months.
He stated the T. V. patient cost of $1.25 per day would be cash
and not a part of their hospital bill. 20% of the gross income
would go to the Hospital Auxillary, who would pay Vumore, with
$350.00 to retire the cost of the sets, with the balance to go
into an escrow account to meet future upkeep costs after warranty
period expiration. .
The Court stated that it would have to advertise for competitive
bids and issue warrants, if it was the desire to fund the matter
on a purchase. It was referred to McFarland to refer it to his
Hospital Board for their recommendation on whether they wished a
lease, rental, lease purchase or outright purchase plan,
NOVEMBER 12, 1965
HOSPITAL - T. V. CONTRACT
Mr. Green of Green's Applicances met with the Court to discuss
the matter of T. V. service at the hospital. Mr. Green questioned
the procedure of electrical wiring at the hospital by hourly wage
rather than by a bid method and expressed also his displeasure
that his service T, V. proposal was not read at the Hospital Board
meeting. The question of whether a Hospital Board could make a
long term lease purchase contract was submitted to J. C. Davis
and it was his opinion that the Board could not commit the County
or pledge the credit of the County. Mr. McFarland was advised of
this opinion, having been requested to appear before the Court.
The Court was of the opinion that competitive bids would have to
be taken for T. V. service at the Hospital since county funds were
involved. The Court will meet with the Hospital Board on a date
and time convenient with the Hospital Board.

the engineers' "'proposition of a change order to provide splic:lng

Gentlemen:
Regarding the corrections to the electrical system at Calhoun
County Airport, it has become apparant that O. J. Electric Company,
the electrical subcontractor. will not act with sufficient dil;-
patch in arriving at a solution to the problem of making the light-
ing system acceptable. Because the subcontractor took the extra-
ordinary step of :cutting off the connecting ends of the trans:Eormers
during installation, thereby making the specified connection :Lm-
possible, this office is initiating Change Order No. 2 setting forth
a connection that can salvage as IllUch of the installation as pos-
sible, while still giving the performance required by the Fedl~ral
Aviation Agency.

By this letter, we are setting forth, in detail, the method to be
used in making this new connection. and you will instruct your sub-
contractor accordingly.
1. The pigtail leads that are normally used in the ori-
ginally specified connection. shall not be used.
2. TWo (2) ESNA No. 54 connectors shall be provided for
each transformer.
3. When each transformer is dug up. it shall be megged
alone. If the test indicates that water has entered the transformer.
thereby rendering it useless, it shall be discarded and a new trans-
former shall be supplied for that installation.
4. If the transfOrmer is satisfactory. or when a satis-
factory transformer has been supplied. the ESNA No. 54 connectors
shall be field spliced to the leads and cable as required. The
splice shall be a taped splice in full accordance with the speci-
fications. Care shall be taken. to see that the proper size con-
nectors are matched to the corresponding cable size (the direct
burial cable is 3000-volt cable; the transformer leads are 5000-
volt cable).
5. The transformer shall then be plugged into the line and
properly buried according to the Plans and Specifications.
6. During all operations. extreme care shall be taken to
exclude all dirt, sand. water or other deleterious matter from
any portion of the splice. and steps shall be taken as the
Engineer may require to assure that splice is properly made and
sealed.
7. Because of the substance and circumstances of these
instructions, all corrective work to be done shall be done at no
expense to Calhoun County.
Please remember that time is of the essence in this matter, and
the working day count is continuing, As of November 19, 1965.
143 working days have elapsed on this Contract.

AIRPORT
Mr. Schwabe of Schwabe & Mikes, Airport Contractor, met with
the Court concerning the installation of electrical lighting
system at the airport. Mr. Abernathy of Brown & Root discussed
the installation and stated that the connections were not made
in conformance with the specifications and that the transformer
connections should not have been cut off. He also stated that
the inspection was limited due to an inspector who was not ade-
quately trained in electrical inspection. Mr. Qrsak of the com-
pany installing the electrical system stated that.the pigtail
connectors were not received and this was the reason for cutting
off the connectors on the transformers, Mr. Stephens of the
Grabar Electric Company stated that the records of Grabar do not
reflect whether or not the pigtails were not shipped. He stated
that the pigtails are now in route to Orsak Electric Company. Mr.
Stephens stated that the transformers would have to be checked
individually and he did not know if the manufacturer would guaran-
tee the transformers after the alteration which has been made.
Mr. Abernathy stated that Brown & Root would have a person from
their Electrical Department inspect the correcting work.
Mr. Oreak stated that he would give the General Cowtractor a year
warranty on the electrical installations his company has made.
The Court advised Mr. Abernathy that they (the County) would look
to Brown & Root to advise the Court. after the modified installa-
tion. that the system was adequate. approved by F.A.A., satisfactory
and in accordance and within the specifications, to which Mr. Aber-
nathy stated Brown & Root would certify the completed job without

DECEMBER 17, 1965
MOSQUITO CONTROL DISTRICT
Mr. Clayton Toalson met with the Court to discuss the Mosquito
Control District and gave the following report:
On May 14. 1965, the Commissioners Court of Calhoun County ,
appointed the following members to its Mosquito'Control Board,
to serve for a one year term: Dr. R. J. Roemer, C. J~ Mowen.
Joe Brett, L. B. Griffith. and John A. Peeler. The County
Agent and the City-County Sanitarian were named co-directors
of the newly created 'abatement district.
The first meeting of the board was held on May 20, 1965, at the
City- County Health Department. The board charged the co-directors I~
with developing a proposed program geared to the funds appropri- .
ated by the court. The board further ordered:
1. That ground dusting equipment be employed and that the
operation be restricted to the populated areas of the
county.
2. The employment of aircraft for the disbursement of .
insecticide in select rural areas to establish flight
barrier zones in the proximity of marsh lands.

3. The employment of labor necessary to carry out the
program..
4. A competent survey to determine source (breeding) areas.
5, The procurement of equipment essential to the conduct
of the program.
6. The utilization of the .least toxic and most effective
insecticides available.
7. That provisions be made for attendance of district
representatives to schools and training sessions.
8. That residents be encouraged to practice home sanitation
as a measure to eliminate certain species of mosquitoes.
9. That adjoining counties be encouraged to cooperate in
area wide mosquito control.
On May 24, 1965. the board reconvened to consider the projected
program as developed by the co-directors. The board noted that
only a limited project. which excluded aerial application of
insecticides. would be programmed for the calendar year. 1965.
The board further took cognizance of the equipment availabie to
the unit, which included 2 Buffalo Turbin dusting machines and
2 four wheel drive jeep trucks. A tentative budget, developed
in consideration of available funds. was accepted. The immediate
employment of an Entomologist. to determine source areas and
identify prevalent mosquito species, was encouraged. The board
further ordered its co-directors to request bids for insecticides
to be employed in connection with the conduct of the program.
The third and most recent meeting of the Mosquito Control Board
was held on May 28, 1965. The board heard reports from Mr. Cook
(who spent several days wi~h other organized Mosquito Control
Districts) concerning the value of aerial strip spraying as a
means of establishing insect flight barriers. Based on Mr. Cook's
recommendation, the board directed that Cornett Flying Service
be engaged to distribute 54 gallons of high concentrate Malathion
on a low volume basis in areas speCifically determined. Mr.
Cornett advised the board that he would provide the flying service
(exclusive of the cost of the toxicant) to the county at no cost,
provided that a qualified man be immediately employed to survey
the county problem. Mr. Cornett's offer was accepted. and Mr.
Larry Can ion was employed to serve the district in the capacity
of an Entomoligist.
Mosquito control operations in Calhoun County were implemented on
May 19, 1965, following acceptance from the City of Port Lavaca
several bags of 3% BHC dust, which was then considered surplus
to their requirement. The adult suppression program continued
through November 19, 1965. Expenditures during the period,
together with anticipated disbursements. follows:

truck is. not accounted for in the table above. since it has been
suggested that the cost of the equipment may be charged against

During periods of heavy infestation, conscientious efforts WE!re
exerted to dep19Y the control equipment to all populated ar.eas
of the county on an equal basis. The following is an account
of the dated of treatment concerning the specific areas, and
the amount of insecticidal dust disbursed:

Hot Spots:
During the period of mosquito prevalence, there were occasions
when small area, within the confines of our cities and towns,
experienced unusually heavy infestations, and such isolated areas
were referred to as hot spots. These hot spots required infrequent
treatment in addition to regularly scheduled control measures. The
spots included. but were not res~ricted to ball parks. fair grounds.

Approximately 8~% of the tetal mosquito control effort was
expended in the hot spot areas.
All adult mosquito control work was performed during the late
evening and early morning hours when the insects were most
active and atmospheric conditions best suited for insecticidal
disbursement. High school and college students were employed
to operate the equipment under the supervision of a responsible
adult. There were no reported accidents involving injuries
to employees or damage to equipment.

The county did not. experience its usual epidemic of "pink eye"
during the season past. and it is reasoned that the Malathion
dust, which was regularly used throughout the control progr,lUIl.
reduced the number of gnats, the insects which transmit the
disease.
The following budget for 1966 was developed in consideration
of projected appropriations for the period.

Mr.'Toalson reviewed hill comprehensive record keeping system.
and the methods of collecting information and studies of in-
festation. Mr. Toalson report~d that 33~ tons of insecticidal I
dust. one 55 gal. drum of malathion, spray for hand sprayers,
one 55 gal. drum of malathion spray for aerial spray application
were purchased. He reported that during the period of July 1st
to August 15th there were no mosquitos in the county according
to their light traps. The Court commended Mr. Toalson for the
performance of the district.
CITY - COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT
Mr. Toalson discussed with the Court the problem of his employees
not being able to come under Social Security and Hospitalization
Insurance coverage. He proposed that the unit funds be disbVrsed
by the County, thus the emploYges could come under the county pro-
gram. The Court stated that it provided only a portion of tne
funds for the unit and under the County program, no part tim,e em-
ployee was covered on social security and hospitalization. The
Court asked Mr. Toalson to explore the possibility of volurtta~y
payments on social,security.and agreed to study the problem further
to try to solve the question.
INDIGENT AND CHARITY AID
I
Mr. Toalson also discussed with the Court the ever increasi~~
expense and problem of aiding desperate and indigent persons
and noted that formation of a charity organization to assist
locals on a limited basis was in the process of being formed
and planned to request United Fund participation which would
help to some extent on the indigent problem.

STATE HIGHWAY NO. 238 - RIGHT OF WAY
A delegation from the State Highway Department. Melvin Rylander.
Ralph Rinn and Lawrence Emerson. met with the Court to discuss
the problem of low appraisals placed on land for acquisition for
right of way on State Highway No. 238. The County asked if the
appraisals could be raised to which the State Highway Department
replied that they could not arbitrarily raise the appraisals unless
some condition warranted a re-appraisal. If the State Appraiser
stated that there has been no change in conditions, then condemna-
tion proceedings was the only answer. If the State Appraiser re-
ported that there were new conditions which were not considered in
the original appraisal then a re-appraisal could be made.
Whereupon, motion by Commissioner Wedig. seconded by Commissioner
Barton. that the State Highway Department be requested to have
their appraisers make a re-appraisal of the lands for acquisition
for right of way on State Highway No. 238 to ascertain if any condi-
tion exists to warrant a change in the amounts determined by them
previously.
BIDS AND PROPOSALS - SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
Motion by Commissioner Lindsey, seconded by Commissioner Wedig,
and carried. that the County Auditor be authorized to advertise
for bids for two (2) cars for the Sheriff's Department with bid
